Revised BNHG Building Database Now Available The table is the product of more than two years of research and field work by BNHG members, led by Gilbert Tauber. The table lists all of the 1,056 buildings in the area from the north side of 96th Street to the south side of 110th Street between Central Park West and Riverside Drive. The latest revision adds the Department of Buildings’ Building Identification Number (BIN) for each building. This will make it easier to coordinate our information with databases maintained by the Department of Buildings and other agencies. The BIN also makes it possible to distinguish individual buildings in situations where there are multiple buildings on the same tax lot, as in the case of Frederick Douglass Houses. There is also a new column for the Department of Finance building classification, which helpfully states whether a non-condo apartment building has an elevator or is a walk-up. Explore this revised database at the BUILDING DATABASE page of our RESOURCES section |
