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 $9,954 per year ($830/month) before any abatements or exemptions the owner may receive. City records show it last changed hands for $1,610,000 in Jun 2026.
City landmark records describe it as a Simplified Colonial Revival or Art Deco row house dating to 1927, originally used as residential. It was designed by Clarence Stein & Henry Wright for City Housing Corporation / Alexander Bing. It stands within the Sunnyside Gardens Historic District.
The building uses about 27% of the density its zoning allows (0.53 built FAR vs. a maximum of 2.00) — roughly 4,329 sq ft of unused development rights, which can matter for renovations, expansions, or air-rights value.
