The lot

What is already here?

The lot holds a 3-story walk-up apartment building built in 1899, with 3 homes, on a 1,900 sq ft lot.

  1. Floors 2–3Homes3 homes are recorded on this lot — about one home to a floor. The city does not publish which floor any of them is on.
  2. Floor 1Street levelStreet level. The lot is recorded as walk-up apartments.
  • Street levelWalk-up apartments
  • Homes3 recorded on the lot
  • Above the southern skylineFrom about floor 5 — the tallest thing within 60 m to the south is 13.7 m
Drawn from the outline and roof height the Department of City Planning publishes for this building: 12.2 m over 3 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

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

  • 7Immediately hazardous
  • 15Hazardous
  • 7Non-hazardous
  • 12Information 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.

Owner of record

BH VAN BUREN LOFTS LLC

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.

Read from the brokerages’ own published listings on September 16, 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the next time they publish a list without it — usually because it sold or let, though a listing can also expire or be withdrawn.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 3050313. 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.
