The lot

What is already here?

The lot holds a 18-story elevator apartment building built in 1963, with 66 homes, on a 13,229 sq ft lot.

  1. Floors 2–18Homes66 homes are recorded on this lot — about 4 homes to a floor, and the apartments assessed on this block run to a typical 1,322 sq ft (123 m²). The city does not publish which floor any of them is on.

  • Above the southern skylineFrom about floor 54 — the tallest thing within 60 m to the south is 161.8 m
Drawn from the outline and roof height the Department of City Planning publishes for this building: 58.3 m over 18 floors, as the city counts them. 2 runs of floors have something on record. The city publishes a roof height and a storey count for the lot, and nothing at all about any individual floor. What stands to the south is measured from the city’s own footprints and roof heights; it is a statement about the skyline, not a calculation of sunlight.

The apartments

244 condominium apartments are assessed on this block, and the typical one is 1,322 sq ft (123 m²). They run from 60 to 764 m².

The city values the typical one at $386,548. That is the Department of Finance’s market valuation for tax, not an asking price and not a sale.

What it sold for

20 apartments on this tax block changed hands in the year the city last published, at a median of $2,750,000, from 199,000 to 10,000,000.

Recorded sale prices from the Department of Finance’s rolling file, covering the year to Sep 30, 2026. Transfers under $10,000 are left out: New York records deed transfers between relatives at a dollar, and those are not sales. No apartment number and no name is carried from either side.

Owner of record

FORTUSA REALTY CORP

As the assessment roll records it. Only owners that read as a company are shown here; where the roll names an individual, nothing is published.

Lot facts come from NYC Department of City Planning, Primary Land Use Tax Lot Output (PLUTO) (64uk-42ks), accessed Nov 7, 2026. They describe the tax lot, not any single filing. When the rest of New York went up

On the market here

One home at this address is currently listed for sale by Corcoran. Prices move; the brokerage’s own page is the one that is current, and every row here links to it.

UnitRoomsSizePricePer sq ftListed by
Unit 7BFor salePrice not readCorcoran

Read from the brokerages’ own published listings on November 6, 2026. A home drops off this table the next time they publish a list without it — usually because it sold or let, though a listing can also expire or be withdrawn. What we know is that it is no longer offered, which is why this shows what they have today rather than what we were told once. Everything on the market across the city.

Violation record

Are there open violations here?

The Department of Buildings has 1 open notice on record for this building, out of 66 notices on file; the most recent was issued Apr 15, 2022.

Open means the agency has not recorded a resolution, which is not the same as the problem still existing. What a violation is, and what it is not. From NYC Department of Buildings, DOB Violations (3h2n-5cm9), accessed Oct 31, 2026.

What is recorded here

Multiple filings, one stable building identifier.

New York City's Building Identification Number helps connect filings that may use different application numbers or describe different scopes of work. The records below are grouped because they publish BIN 1040765. They should not be read as a single construction project unless the underlying filings say so.

The matched set includes 19 alteration filing. Its latest status categories are 8 approved, 10 recorded as completed, 1 closed or withdrawn. Each filing page preserves its own status, dates, scope and source identifier.
