111 Lawrence Street
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 29.36, against a residential limit of 10.00 — it is over that limit by 19.36. 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.
Unresolved conditions on record
11 violations remain open across 492 residential units (about 0.0 per apartment), against an outstanding penalty balance of $3,750.00. 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.
Last recorded sale
Recorded at $26,500,100 on 28 Mar 2008 — $53,862 per residential unit, $58 per built square foot, 0.45× the assessed value.
Assessed value trend
Assessed value has risen 0.4% across the 5 assessment years on record (2023 to 2027), standing at $58,311,450. 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.

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

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.
