Taxes and assessed value
The city's Department of Finance assessed this lot at $80.2M for the 2026 tax year. That works out to $188K per residential unit. Assessed value is what the city taxes, not what the building would sell for, and the two routinely differ by a wide margin.

Is 242 West 53 Street rent stabilized?

It describes the area around the building, not the building itself.
