Analysis

AI-generated Risk: Low

The building shows a low risk profile but carries material safety‑violation debt and a notable number of open violations and complaints that a buyer should address before proceeding.

The good

  • low assessed risk per city records
  • assessed value increased 22.3% and market value is more than double the assessed amount
  • built floor-area ratio of 2.85 is well under the residential limit of 3.44
  • no legal proceedings or tax‑lien sale listing

The bad

  • safety‑violation penalties of $108,000 remain unpaid
  • three safety violations are still outstanding
  • eighteen open violations exist (0.1 per unit)
  • over 20,000 complaints have been recorded

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.

Unused development capacity on the lot

Built floor-area ratio is 2.85 against a permitted 4.80, leaving 1.95 of unused ratio — roughly 232,489 sq ft of buildable area on a lot of 119,225 sq ft. Treat that as a ceiling under the floor-area rules, not a plan: height limits, setbacks, lot coverage, landmark status and sitting tenants can each reduce it, in some cases to nothing.

Unresolved conditions on record

18 violations remain open across 354 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.

Assessed value trend

Assessed value has risen 22.3% across the 5 assessment years on record (2023 to 2027), standing at $10,372,500. 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 1 day 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.
