What is already here?

  2. Floors 2–29Homes198 homes are recorded on this lot — about 5 homes to a floor, and the apartments assessed on this block run to a typical 1,415 sq ft (131 m²). The city does not publish which floor any of them is on.
  3. Floor 1Street levelStreet level. The lot is recorded as mixed residential and commercial, so this floor is where the commercial space is.

  • Above the southern skylineFrom about floor 30 — the tallest thing within 60 m to the south is 88.1 m
Drawn from the outline and roof height the Department of City Planning publishes for this building: 120.7 m over 38 floors, as the city counts them. 3 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

178 condominium apartments are assessed on this block, and the typical one is 1,415 sq ft (131 m²). They run from 47 to 512 m².

The city values the typical one at $609,095. That is the Department of Finance’s market valuation for tax, not an asking price and not a sale.

What it sold for

16 apartments on this tax block changed hands in the year the city last published, at a median of $2,100,000, from 70,000 to 4,678,750.

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.

Read from the brokerages’ own published listings on November 5, 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the next time they publish a list without it — usually because it sold or let, though a listing can also expire or be withdrawn.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

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 matched set includes 8 alteration filing. Its latest status categories are 1 under review, 6 approved, 1 recorded as completed. Each filing page preserves its own status, dates, scope and source identifier.
