1 Hanson Place
Analysis
The building offers large units and solid compliance history, but the residential over‑building restriction and lack of recent sale data create moderate risk for investors.
The good
- Zero open violations and no enforcement or safety penalties indicate no immediate compliance costs
- Average unit size of 1526 sq ft is large for NYC, attractive to higher‑income renters
- 203 permits show active improvements and maintenance history
- Landmarked status can add prestige and appeal to certain tenants
The bad
- Built beyond the residential floor‑area limit (13.48 FAR vs 10 limit) means the building is over‑built and cannot be expanded with more residential units
- Unused buildable square footage of 30,800 sq ft cannot be added to the residential stock
- No arm‑length sale and a recorded market value of 0 suggest limited recent market data and potential valuation uncertainty
- 245 complaints indicate a relatively high level of tenant or public issues
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 13.48, against a residential limit of 10.00 — it is over that limit by 3.48. 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 higher limit of 15.00 does apply to community-facility use, which produces an apparent 30,800 sq ft of headroom — but that is not residential floor area and is not interchangeable with it. Reading that number as room for more apartments is the most expensive mistake available in this data.
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.

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.

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