The lot

What is already here?

The lot holds a 17-story condominium built in 1931, with 103 homes, on a 11,202 sq ft lot.

  1. Floors 11–17Above the southern skylineAbove the tallest building within sixty metres to the south, which stands 32.9 m. Nothing on that side reaches this floor.
  2. Floors 2–10Homes103 homes are recorded on this lot — about 6 homes to a floor, and the apartments assessed on this block run to a typical 865 sq ft (80 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.

  • Homes103 recorded · typically 80 m² · valued $406,922
  • Above the southern skylineFrom about floor 11 — the tallest thing within 60 m to the south is 32.9 m
Drawn from the outline and roof height the Department of City Planning publishes for this building: 60.7 m over 17 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.

Housing violations

31 violations are open against this address under the Housing Maintenance Code. 1 of them is the class the city calls immediately hazardous.

  • 1Immediately hazardous
  • 21Hazardous
  • 9Non-hazardous
  • 0Information 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.

The apartments

264 condominium apartments are assessed on this block, and the typical one is 865 sq ft (80 m²). They run from 11 to 284 m².

The city values the typical one at $406,922. 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 $1,635,000, from 510,000 to 5,375,000.

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.

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

Read from the brokerages’ own published listings on November 1, 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 records below are grouped because they publish BIN 1066992. They should not be read as a single construction project unless the underlying filings say so.

The matched set includes 7 alteration filing. Its latest status categories are 5 approved, 2 under review. Each filing page preserves its own status, dates, scope and source identifier.
