  • Above the southern skylineFrom about floor 6 — the tallest thing within 60 m to the south is 15.5 m
Drawn from the outline and roof height the Department of City Planning publishes for this building: 22.4 m over 7 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.

What it sold for

3 apartments on this tax block changed hands in the year the city last published, at a median of $590,000, from 463,125 to 2,260,000.

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 Sep 1, 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.
