The lot

What is already here?

The lot holds a 6-story elevator apartment building built in 1926, with 43 homes, on a 6,800 sq ft lot.

  1. Floors 2–6Homes43 homes are recorded on this lot — about 9 homes to a floor. The city does not publish which floor any of them is on.
  2. Floor 1Street levelStreet level. The lot is recorded as mixed residential and commercial, so this floor is where the commercial space is.
  • Street levelMixed residential and commercial
  • Homes43 recorded on the lot
  • Above the southern skylineFrom about floor 8 — the tallest thing within 60 m to the south is 22.5 m
Drawn from the outline and roof height the Department of City Planning publishes for this building: 20.2 m over 6 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.

Housing violations

485 violations are open against this address under the Housing Maintenance Code. 209 of them are the class the city calls immediately hazardous.

  • 209Immediately hazardous
  • 220Hazardous
  • 44Non-hazardous
  • 12Information order

Open means the Department of Housing Preservation and Development has not recorded it as corrected, which is not the same as nobody having fixed it. The city publishes the apartment each was written against; that is not carried here, because a count says a building has a problem and an apartment number says whose.

What it sold for

The property itself last changed hands for $6,320,000 on Jun 22, 2026.

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.

Owner of record

WEST 126TH INVESTORS, LLC

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 Sep 16, 2026. They describe the tax lot, not any single filing. When the rest of New York went up

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 1059691. They should not be read as a single construction project unless the underlying filings say so.

The matched set includes 2 alteration filing. Its latest status categories are 1 recorded as completed, 1 approved. Each filing page preserves its own status, dates, scope and source identifier.
