Analysis

AI-generated Risk: Medium

The property carries medium risk due to over‑building and outstanding safety penalties, despite its large unit count and size.

The good

  • 226 residential units provide substantial rental inventory
  • Average unit size of 9,301 sq ft is unusually large for the market
  • No enforcement penalties are recorded
  • No legal proceedings and not on a tax‑lien sale list

The bad

  • Safety‑violation penalties of $19,000 are owed
  • Building is over‑built for residential use (built FAR 14.05 exceeds residential limit of 10)
  • 17 open violations remain
  • Unused buildable square footage of 142,082 sq ft signals a constraint on future expansion

Written by a language model from this property's own figures — the same numbers shown on this page. It introduces no facts of its own: every figure it cites is checked against the data before the text is shown. It is a reading of the numbers, not a professional opinion, and it can be wrong about emphasis even when it is right about arithmetic. See our methodology.

What the numbers say

Generated from this property's own figures using the rules set out in our methodology. Every statement below refers to a number shown on this page.

Already larger than residential zoning would allow

The building occupies a floor-area ratio of 14.05, against a residential limit of 10.00 — it is over that limit by 4.05. A building in this position almost always predates the current rules and is legally non-conforming: it may generally remain, but it typically cannot be enlarged for residential use, and it may not be rebuildable as it stands. A higher limit of 15.00 does apply to community-facility use, which produces an apparent 142,082 sq ft of headroom — but that is not residential floor area and is not interchangeable with it. Reading that number as room for more apartments is the most expensive mistake available in this data.

Unresolved conditions on record

17 violations remain open across 226 residential units (about 0.1 per apartment), against an outstanding penalty balance of $0.00. A significant open count with little money attached usually means habitability items that were never certified as corrected, rather than a few expensive enforcement actions — an administrative problem more than a financial one, though it is still a problem.

Total penalties owed combines two separate debts — enforcement penalties (from summonses) and safety-violation penalties (unfiled inspections and reports on boilers, elevators, facades and energy use). The second kind accrues quietly and is routinely missed; it is a standing debt on the building, not a fine someone can walk away from. The safety figure could not be retrieved for this property, so no total is shown — we would rather show nothing than a total that silently omits it. Neither figure includes unpaid property tax or water and sewer arrears, which are frequently the largest number of all and appear nowhere on this page. For a true payoff figure, go to the city directly.

Owner of record comes from the public land-use record and may lag a recent sale. It is frequently a holding company rather than an individual. If you own or manage this property and believe something here is wrong, tell us — we read and respond to every message of that kind.

Open violations

Open violations only. A violation that was raised and later corrected is not counted — an older building accumulates hundreds of those, and the number says more about its age than its condition.

Complaints

A complaint is an allegation, not a finding — many are dismissed. A sustained pattern is nevertheless informative about how a building is run.

Permits & alterations

The absence of a permit does not prove no work was done — it may equally mean work was done without one.

About this page

Compiled from New York City public records — data retrieved 4 days ago. Coverage on this parcel: 14 of 15 record groups populated. The derived figures — unused floor-area ratio, buildable area, the assessed-value trend and the per-unit ratios — are calculated by us and appear in no public dataset; the formulas are in the methodology.

This is a research tool, not advice. It is not a title search, a lien search, a survey or an inspection, and it does not replace any of them. If a figure here matters to a decision, verify it at the source. See Terms.
