The lot

What is already here?

The lot holds a 6-story elevator apartment building built in 1951, with 165 homes, on a 35,000 sq ft lot.

  1. Floors 5–6Above the southern skylineAbove the tallest building within sixty metres to the south, which stands 14.9 m. Nothing on that side reaches this floor.
  2. Floors 2–4Homes165 homes are recorded on this lot — about 33 homes to a floor, and the apartments assessed on this block run to a typical 635 sq ft (59 m²). The city does not publish which floor any of them is on.

  • Homes165 recorded · typically 59 m² · valued $397,376
  • Above the southern skylineFrom about floor 5 — the tallest thing within 60 m to the south is 14.9 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

53 violations are open against this address under the Housing Maintenance Code. 13 of them are the class the city calls immediately hazardous.

  • 13Immediately hazardous
  • 31Hazardous
  • 8Non-hazardous
  • 1Information 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.

The apartments

20 condominium apartments are assessed on this block, and the typical one is 635 sq ft (59 m²).

The city values the typical one at $397,376. That is the Department of Finance’s market valuation for tax, not an asking price and not a sale.

What it sold for

1 apartment on this tax block changed hands in the year the city last published, at a median of $385,000.

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.

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 23, 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 September 23, 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 4037029. They should not be read as a single construction project unless the underlying filings say so.

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