260 Park Avenue South was built in 1911 — roughly 115 years old. For property-tax purposes it falls under Class 2 (residential buildings with four or more units, condos and co-ops), taxed at 12.439% of a taxable value based on 45% of the city’s income-derived market value.
City landmark records describe it as a neo-Renaissance store and lofts dating to 1910 - 1911, originally used as commercial, store and lofts. It was designed by Maynicke & Franke for Roscorn Realty Company. It stands within the Ladies' Mile Historic District.
The building already exceeds what current zoning would allow (10.08 built FAR vs. a maximum of 6.50) — typically a grandfathered or overbuilt structure that could not be rebuilt to this size under today’s rules. With 114 units in a building of this age, some apartments are likely rent-stabilized — worth verifying with DHCR before purchase.
