  1. Floors 2–3Homes2 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 mixed residential and commercial, so this floor is where the commercial space is.
  • Street levelMixed residential and commercial
  • Homes2 recorded on the lot
  • Above the southern skylineFrom about floor 11 — the tallest thing within 60 m to the south is 31.3 m
Drawn from the outline and roof height the Department of City Planning publishes for this building: 10.1 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

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

  • 0Immediately hazardous
  • 16Hazardous
  • 13Non-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.

Owner of record

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

What is recorded here

The matched set includes 4 alteration filing. Its latest status categories are 2 under review, 2 approved. Each filing page preserves its own status, dates, scope and source identifier.
