49 5 Avenue was built in 1929 — roughly 97 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. At the current assessment that works out to about $1,914,508 per year ($159,542/month) before any abatements or exemptions the owner may receive. City records show it last changed hands for $1,312,500 in Jun 2026.
The building already exceeds what current zoning would allow (14.25 built FAR vs. a maximum of 10.00) — typically a grandfathered or overbuilt structure that could not be rebuilt to this size under today’s rules. This lot is associated with a co-op; individual apartments are owned as shares and taxed through the building.
