Analysis

AI-generated Risk: Medium

The building offers solid equity and no major legal or tax encumbrances, but its over‑built, landmarked condition and existing safety violations constrain future development and add compliance risk.

The good

  • Assessed value of $84,948,750 and market value on record of $188,775,000 indicate strong equity potential
  • No enforcement penalties and no legal proceedings reduce immediate financial risk
  • No tax lien and no arms‑length sale suggest the property is not encumbered by hidden debt
  • Average unit size of 2,595 sq ft provides premium rental or resale appeal

The bad

  • Built beyond its residential floor‑area limit (over‑built) restricts any future residential expansion
  • Three open violations and two unpaid safety‑violation penalties totaling $6,000 represent compliance costs
  • Landmarked status limits alterations and may increase renovation expenses
  • Over‑built status means the building cannot be enlarged despite unused buildable square footage being zero

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 14.65, against a residential limit of 10.00 — it is over that limit by 4.65. 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 light open-violation load

Only 3 violations are currently open across 238 residential units, with $0.00 outstanding. For a building of this age that is a modest figure.

Assessed value trend

Assessed value has risen 1.6% across the 5 assessment years on record (2023 to 2027), standing at $84,948,750. Because tax is levied on the assessed figure rather than on market value, a sustained move here tends to show up in the bill.

The levy is an estimate — taxable value × the published rate for the class. It does not account for exemptions or abatements the property may carry, and will not match an actual bill. It is not the property's total debt to the city: unpaid tax and water arrears are not shown anywhere on this page.

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 5 days ago. Coverage on this parcel: 15 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.
