Taxes and assessed value
The city's Department of Finance assessed this lot at $240K for the 2026 tax year. That works out to $24K 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. The bill itself turns on the tax class rate and on any exemptions or abatements attached to the lot, neither of which is published here.
