The lot

What is already here?

The lot holds a 6-story walk-up apartment building built in 1910, with 29 homes, on a 5,100 sq ft lot.

  1. Floor 6Above the southern skylineAbove the tallest building within sixty metres to the south, which stands 17.2 m. Nothing on that side reaches this floor.
  2. Floors 2–5Homes29 homes are recorded on this lot — about 6 homes to a floor. The city does not publish which floor any of them is on.
  3. Floor 1Street levelStreet level. The lot is recorded as walk-up apartments.
  • Street levelWalk-up apartments
  • Homes29 recorded on the lot
  • Above the southern skylineFrom about floor 6 — the tallest thing within 60 m to the south is 17.2 m
Drawn from the outline and roof height the Department of City Planning publishes for this building: 19.9 m over 6 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

39 violations are open against this address under the Housing Maintenance Code. 4 of them are the class the city calls immediately hazardous.

  • 4Immediately hazardous
  • 28Hazardous
  • 7Non-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.

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 Oct 28, 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 2004694. They should not be read as a single construction project unless the underlying filings say so.

The matched set includes 5 alteration filing. Its latest status categories are 4 under review, 1 approved. Each filing page preserves its own status, dates, scope and source identifier.
