Source: NYC Department of Finance, Storefronts Reported Vacant or Not (Local Law 157), annual filings for 2019 to 2024, pulled 2026-10-03. Owners of buildings with ground- or second-floor storefronts register each one every year with its status on December 31; counts are by tax lot, as the owners filed them. The 2024 filing was due June 3, 2025, so a storefront vacant then may have been leased since. A vacant storefront is not always on the market, and none here is listed on Leasemark unless it shows above.

The estimate is the taxable value times the class rate. It leaves out abatements, payment-in-lieu-of-taxes agreements and charges, so the actual bill can differ.
