3 Bower Court
Analysis
The building carries low risk overall, but the high number of open violations, a $5,000 safety penalty, and lack of a recent market sale suggest due diligence on compliance and valuation is needed.
The good
- low assessed risk with no open violations of consequence
- no enforcement penalties and only a single safety violation debt of $5,000
- built floor-area ratio of 0.6 is below the residential limit of 0.75, so the building is not over‑built
- no legal proceedings, tax lien, or arm's‑length sale on record
The bad
- 62 open violations (1.1 per unit) indicate ongoing compliance issues
- safety violation penalties of $5,000 are a material hidden debt
- market value on record is $0, meaning no recent arm's‑length sale to confirm price
- unused buildable square footage of 62,156 sq ft cannot be added because the building is already at its residential FAR limit
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 0.60 against a permitted 1.00, leaving 0.40 of unused ratio — roughly 62,156 sq ft of buildable area on a lot of 155,389 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
62 violations remain open across 58 residential units (about 1.1 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.

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.
