  • Homes42 recorded on the lot
  • Above the southern skylineFrom about floor 15 — the tallest thing within 60 m to the south is 44.9 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

1 violation is open against this address under the Housing Maintenance Code.

  • 0Immediately hazardous
  • 0Hazardous
  • 1Non-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.

What it sold for

1 apartment on this tax block changed hands in the year the city last published, at a median of $5,900,000.

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.

Lot facts come from NYC Department of City Planning, Primary Land Use Tax Lot Output (PLUTO) (64uk-42ks), accessed Oct 7, 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 1077737. 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 approved, 1 recorded as completed. Each filing page preserves its own status, dates, scope and source identifier.
