265 West 139 Street was built in 1920 — roughly 106 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 $6,865 per year ($572/month) before any abatements or exemptions the owner may receive. City records show it last changed hands for $3,170,000 in Jul 2018.
The building uses about 45% of the residential density its zoning allows (1.56 built FAR vs. a residential maximum of 3.44) — roughly 3,568 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 6.50 FAR.
