The lot

What is already here?

The lot holds a condominium built in 1947, with 45 homes, on a 10,790 sq ft lot.

  1. Floor 8Above the southern skylineAbove the tallest building within sixty metres to the south, which stands 23.2 m. Nothing on that side reaches this floor.
  2. Floors 2–7Homes45 homes are recorded on this lot — about 45 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 elevator apartments.
  • Street levelElevator apartments
  • Homes45 recorded on the lot
  • Above the southern skylineFrom about floor 8 — the tallest thing within 60 m to the south is 23.2 m
Drawn from the outline and roof height the Department of City Planning publishes for this building: 22.6 m over about 8 floors, counted at three metres each because the city publishes the height and not the number. 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

12 violations are open against this address under the Housing Maintenance Code. 7 of them are the class the city calls immediately hazardous.

  • 7Immediately hazardous
  • 5Hazardous
  • 0Non-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

10 apartments on this tax block changed hands in the year the city last published, at a median of $899,000, from 755,000 to 1,800,000.

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 25, 2026. They describe the tax lot, not any single filing. When the rest of New York went up

Read from the brokerages’ own published listings on October 7, 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 3048420. 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 1 closed or withdrawn, 3 approved. Each filing page preserves its own status, dates, scope and source identifier.
