The lot

What is already here?

  1. Floors 2–37Nothing on record
  2. Floor 1Street levelStreet level.
  • Street levelThe way in
  • Above the southern skylineFrom about floor 49 — the tallest thing within 60 m to the south is 145.1 m
Drawn from the outline and roof height the Department of City Planning publishes for this building: 111.6 m over about 37 floors, counted at three metres each because the city publishes the height and not the number. 1 run of floors has 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

3 violations are open against this address under the Housing Maintenance Code.

  • 0Immediately hazardous
  • 2Hazardous
  • 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.

The apartments

1139 condominium apartments are assessed on this block, and the typical one is 1,326 sq ft (123 m²). They run from 42 to 960 m².

The city values the typical one at $562,991. That is the Department of Finance’s market valuation for tax, not an asking price and not a sale.

What it sold for

107 apartments on this tax block changed hands in the year the city last published, at a median of $2,025,000, from 18,000 to 188,000,000.

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.

Owner of record

NYC DOT

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.

Violation record

Are there open violations here?

No open violations are recorded for this building. 22 notices are on file, all with a recorded resolution.

Open means the agency has not recorded a resolution, which is not the same as the problem still existing. What a violation is, and what it is not. From NYC Department of Buildings, DOB Violations (3h2n-5cm9), accessed Sep 22, 2026.

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 1089374. They should not be read as a single construction project unless the underlying filings say so.

The matched set includes 4 alteration filing. Its latest status categories are 4 approved. Each filing page preserves its own status, dates, scope and source identifier.
