What has sold here

Every transfer the City has recorded against this lot since 2003 with a consideration above zero. A co-op apartment has no deed, so its sale is recorded as a Real Property Transfer Tax return instead; both are printed here and the instrument is named in the last column. The figure is the consideration as filed, which is not always the price a buyer would recognise.

The building on the lot

Section through the lot

PERMITTED, NOT BUILTLOT 13,322 SQ FT5
Drawn from PLUTO: 5 storeys, 33,632 sq ft of building on 13,322 sq ft of lot, an average floor plate covering 50% of it. PLUTO records 3 buildings on this lot, so the mass drawn is their combined floor area. The dashed outline is the difference between the floor area ratio already built (2.52) and the residential floor area ratio of the zoning district (3.44). It is a diagram of recorded figures, not a picture of the building.

Assessed per residential unit
$35,526

Assessed value is the figure the Department of Finance uses to levy property tax. For a class two building it is derived from an income approach and it is capped in how fast it can rise. It is not a market valuation and the two figures routinely differ by a wide margin. What the assessment does and does not tell you.
