Analysis
AI-generated Risk: Low
The building presents low risk with strong value appreciation and zoning compliance, but the open violations, lack of a recent market sale, high tax bill, and limited unit count temper its attractiveness.
The good
- Assessed risk is low per city records
- Assessed value has risen 20.7% and market value on record is more than double the assessed amount
- Built floor‑area ratio of 0.5 is well below the residential limit of 0.75, indicating compliance with zoning
- No enforcement penalties and only a single safety‑violation penalty of $500
The bad
- Three open violations are recorded, with one safety violation still unpaid
- No arms‑length sale on record, so price history is unavailable
- Estimated annual property tax is $212,580, a sizable ongoing cost
- Only two floors and 65 units limit income potential compared with the large unused buildable square footage
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 0.50 against a permitted 1.00, leaving 0.50 of unused ratio — roughly 43,250 sq ft of buildable area on a lot of 86,500 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.
A light open-violation load
Only 3 violations are currently open across 65 residential units, with $0.00 outstanding. For a building of this age that is a modest figure.
Assessed value trend
Assessed value has risen 20.7% across the 5 assessment years on record (2023 to 2027), standing at $1,851,750. 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.
Recorded documents
Deeds, mortgages and related instruments recorded against the lot. A recorded amount is not necessarily a market price.
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.
