Sale prices are the consideration recorded with the City in ACRIS, and each sale is dated by the day the City recorded it. A closing date reported to the MLS typically falls one to two weeks earlier. Recorded sales describe what has already happened and are not an appraisal, a valuation, or an estimate of what this home will sell for.

Every rate without the Estimated marker is the published rate for its year.

Assessed and billable values are from the New York City Department of Finance assessment roll for tax lot 1015141205. The City determines them for tax purposes; they are not an appraisal or an estimate of market value. Property tax is calculated from NYC Department of Finance assessment data, including recorded exemptions and abatements where applicable. Actual tax bills and a future buyer's taxes may differ. Tax classes and rates are set annually and can change.
