A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at View 59 would likely sell for today, what it costs to sell, and what you’d walk away with — reviewed personally against condition, exposures, renovation quality, and the competition actually on the market.
View 59 is a small condominium by Long Island City's tower standards, with 39 residences in a Karl Fischer-designed building at Queens Plaza. Large windows, pale façade elements and setbacks distinguish the mid-rise form. Its location puts the building close to the Queensboro Bridge and the elevated transit structure along the plaza.
Crescent Street LLC developed the property during the neighborhood's first major wave of new condominiums in the 2000s. Contemporary reporting documented apartment sales before the financial crisis and the subsequent decision to rent some remaining homes. The building consequently developed a history of both individual ownership and retained investment apartments.
The current DOF roll shows the largest owner holding twelve of the 39 homes, approximately 31%. That concentration remains material within the condominium, although individual residences have sold and resold for many years. Two nonresidential tax lots form a separate commercial component of the property.
Architecture and unit composition
The exterior uses broad blue-toned glazed openings separated by light-colored façade sections. Setbacks near the top create changes in the building line. The uppermost portion has extensive glass and slender outward-flaring supports, giving the roofline a different character from the main residential floors.
Apartment layouts include one-bedroom homes and larger multi-bedroom arrangements. The one-bedroom inventory commonly occupies roughly 700 square feet, while larger residences exceed 1,200 square feet. The upper portion contains considerably larger homes, including layouts above 2,000 square feet.
Large windows are a defining interior feature. Kitchens open toward living areas in many plans, and some homes have private outdoor space. In-unit washers and dryers and central air conditioning are present in the apartment inventory. Renovations have changed individual kitchens and bathrooms since the first sales.
The bridge-side setting gives the building a direct relationship to substantial transportation infrastructure. An apartment's orientation establishes whether its windows face Queens Plaza, Crescent Street or another side of the structure. That position is particularly relevant at the lower residential levels near the elevated tracks.
Building operations
Concierge service and elevator access support the residential floors. A fitness room, common roof deck and storage supply shared amenities within the comparatively small condominium. The roof provides outdoor access in addition to the private terraces attached to selected apartments.
The residential and commercial portions have different tax classifications and benefit histories. The residential 421-a term has ended. The commercial ICIP/ICAP entry is separately recorded and is inactive; it should not be treated as an ongoing residential tax benefit.
The property lies in the Special Long Island City District, where manufacturing and residential zoning designations overlap. Its built floor-area ratio is slightly above the stated residential allowance. The existing mixed-use condominium therefore has a legal and physical scope beyond the apartments alone.
Monthly carrying charges in recent sales
- Common charges alone, per square foot
- $11.55 per square foot a monthMedian of 20 listings since October 2023 that give the annual taxSource: listing records, refreshed October 2026

Common charges plus real estate taxes, combined into one monthly figure the way New York condominium listings show them. Add a mortgage payment for the monthly outlay. The split into common charges and taxes comes from the listings that also give the annual tax, a different sample, so the two lines need not add up exactly to the combined median; a tax abatement can hold taxes below the full amount until it expires.

The latest available filing classified the facade as SWARMP — Safe With A Repair and Maintenance Program: the inspector (QEWI) identified conditions requiring monitoring or repair, with repairs due by the deadline stated in the filing. The scope, timeline, and how the building funds the work are building-specific — we review the filings and board materials for you.
How to read this, and where it comes from
QEWI = Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector — a licensed professional engineer or registered architect who meets DOB’s FISP qualifications and signs the report (the independent expert, not the managing agent).
Penalties shown are amounts DOB assessed against filings on record across 2015–20 to 2020–25. The FISP dataset does not record whether they were paid, contested or remain open, so treat the figure as history rather than a current balance and confirm the building’s standing with the managing agent.

What to know if you’re buying
The first-sale tax assumptions have expired. Earlier apartment transactions occurred during the fifteen-year residential 421-a term. A current purchase takes place after that program ended, so an old listing's tax figure does not describe the same stage of the building's tax cycle.

How to read the facts on this page. Items attributed to an offering plan describe the building as it was offered at that filing — unit mix, square footage, the amenity program as planned. They are not a statement about how the building operates today. Tax and compliance figures are sourced separately to current City records and carry their own dates. House rules, staffing and fee policy can change by board resolution without any public filing: treat every policy line here as a starting point for diligence and confirm it with the managing agent. Where this page compares one building or neighborhood to another, that is our analysis of the recorded record — it names the measure, the period and the sample it rests on, and it is an observation about medians rather than a prediction about any particular apartment.
