1279 Jefferson Avenue was built in 1905 — roughly 121 years old. For property-tax purposes it falls under Class 1 (one- to three-family homes), the class with the highest nominal rate (19.8433%) but assessments capped at 6% of market value with strict yearly growth limits. At the current assessment that works out to about $7,023 per year ($585/month) before any abatements or exemptions the owner may receive. City records show it last changed hands for $1,830,000 in Jun 2026.
The building uses about 58% of the residential density its zoning allows (1.41 built FAR vs. a residential maximum of 2.43) — roughly 1,938 sq ft of unused development rights, which can matter for renovations, expansions, or air-rights value. Those figures are for residential use — a community-facility use (a doctor’s office, clinic, or school) raises the ceiling to 4.80 FAR.
