Analysis

AI-generated Risk: Low

The building carries low risk but buyers should investigate the open violations, high complaint volume, and lack of an arms‑length sale before proceeding.

The good

  • low assessed risk with no penalties or legal actions
  • assessed value has risen 44% indicating strong appreciation
  • large average unit size of 988 sq ft
  • built below residential floor‑area limit, so no over‑building concerns

The bad

  • 12 open violations on record despite zero per‑unit rate
  • 1727 complaints suggest resident dissatisfaction
  • no arms‑length sale recorded, limiting price transparency
  • unused buildable square footage cannot be added to residential space

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 1.10 against a permitted 2.00, leaving 0.90 of unused ratio — roughly 471,240 sq ft of buildable area on a lot of 523,600 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

12 violations remain open across 583 residential units (about 0.0 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 44.0% across the 5 assessment years on record (2023 to 2027), standing at $18,301,950. 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.
