What the roll says about Flatiron, Gramercy & Union Square

Across Flatiron, Gramercy & Union Square, the Department of Finance's roll lists 3,657 condo and co-op units, and 415 of them — 11% — carry a DOF market value over the $1,000,000 Phase-1 threshold. Each of those units owes a flat 4%–6.5% of its full DOF market value for any year it is not someone's primary residence. If every exposed unit here paid with no exemption, the neighborhood's combined bill would be $27.3M a year — the ceiling, not the forecast, since primary residents and 12-month-leased units owe nothing.

The threshold test uses the DOF market value — the "Market Value" line on the Notice of Property Value — not the assessed value and not what the apartment last sold for. In Flatiron, Gramercy & Union Square the median DOF value among exposed units is $1.3M; across all units it is $401K. Co-ops are valued by DOF's fractional-share method, which can surprise shareholders on the high side.

Methodology. Figures aggregate DOF's Supplemental Market Value Roll (July 2026) for ZIP codes 10010 — ZIP boundaries approximate neighborhood borders, so edge blocks may sit in an adjacent page's totals. Condo, co-op and mixed condo units only; 1–3-family houses are excluded here and covered in the database at ZIP level. "Max annual surcharge" assumes no unit qualifies for an exemption; actual collections will be lower. Educational information, not tax or legal advice.
