1045 Atlantic Avenue
Analysis
The building offers solid valuation and compliance strengths but the over‑built residential FAR and high tax burden constrain upside, resulting in a medium risk profile.
The good
- Market value on record ($113,014,000) is more than double the assessed value ($50,856,300), indicating strong valuation upside.
- Zero open violations and no enforcement or safety penalties mean no hidden compliance costs.
- Recent arm's‑length sale in 2023 at $65,000,000 provides a clear, current market benchmark.
- Large average unit size (1,013 sq ft) is attractive for renters seeking spacious apartments.
The bad
- Built beyond the residential floor‑area limit (residential FAR 9.81 vs limit 7.52) makes the building over‑built and limits future expansion.
- Assessed value increased by 2,116.8% suggests a recent reassessment shock and may affect tax liabilities.
- Estimated annual property tax ($6,273,261) is substantial relative to income potential.
- No unused buildable square footage; the site is fully maxed out.
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 9.81, against a residential limit of 7.52 — it is over that limit by 2.29. 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.
No open violations on record
Nothing is currently outstanding against this property. Closed violations are not counted here — a violation that was raised and then fixed is a problem that went away, and an older building will have accumulated many of them. What matters is what is still open, and here that is nothing.
Last recorded sale
Recorded at $65,000,000 on 6 Jun 2023 — $142,544 per residential unit, $141 per built square foot, 1.28× the assessed value.
Assessed value trend
Assessed value has risen 2,116.8% across the 5 assessment years on record (2023 to 2027), standing at $50,856,300. Because tax is levied on the assessed figure rather than on market value, a sustained move here tends to show up in the bill.

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.

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.
