Assessment History (14 years)

Actual AV is DOF market value × the class ratio set by law (6% class 1, 45% classes 2–4). Billable AV is the capped or phased-in value tax is computed on before exemptions, where DOF publishes it; the FY 2010/11–2018/19 rolls carry only the billable AV for capped classes (1, 2A–2C), so their actual AV is market × ratio. YoY Δ compares consecutive fiscal years in the same tax class, on billable AV where both years have it; — marks a gap in the record or a class change.

Property Flags

Property-level signals aggregated from every DOB job application filed here. Flags with majority support across filings indicate enduring property conditions (landmarked status, SRO designation, etc.).

Construction History (showing 100 of 2821)

Every job application filed at this property — BIS legacy and DOB NOW. Each card shows the full lifecycle (pre-filing → paid → approved → permitted → sign-off) plus applicant of record, owner at filing, filing representative, work scope, code review, and inspection requirements. BIS-legacy jobs ship a sparser payload than DOB NOW so older filings render fewer sections.
