42-20 Kissena Boulevard was built in 1926 — roughly 100 years old. This is a condominium of 102 units — each unit is its own tax lot with its own bill. Search with a unit number for unit-level figures. 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.
The building already exceeds what current residential zoning would allow (3.44 built FAR vs. a residential maximum of 2.43) — typically a grandfathered or overbuilt structure that could not be rebuilt to this size under today’s rules. Those figures are for residential use — a community-facility use (a doctor’s office, clinic, or school) raises the ceiling to 4.80 FAR. With 102 units in a building of this age, some apartments are likely rent-stabilized — worth verifying with DHCR before purchase.
