  1. Floors 2–16Homes154 homes are recorded on this lot — about 10 homes to a floor, and the apartments assessed on this block run to a typical 2,074 sq ft (193 m²). The city does not publish which floor any of them is on.

Drawn from the outline and roof height the Department of City Planning publishes for this building: 53 m over 16 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

182 condominium apartments are assessed on this block, and the typical one is 2,074 sq ft (193 m²). They run from 25 to 1209 m².

The city values the typical one at $940,316. That is the Department of Finance’s market valuation for tax, not an asking price and not a sale.

What it sold for

24 apartments on this tax block changed hands in the year the city last published, at a median of $2,750,000, from 400,000 to 12,750,000.

Recorded sale prices from the Department of Finance’s rolling file, covering the year to Aug 31, 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.

Read from the brokerages’ own published listings on October 3, 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the next time they publish a list without it — usually because it sold or let, though a listing can also expire or be withdrawn.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.

What is recorded here
