419 West 22nd Street is below Local Law 97’s individual-building threshold.
Based on NYC public-records data, 419 West 22nd Street (419 WEST 22 STREET) is approximately 4,284 sq ft — below the 25,000 sq ft threshold at which Local Law 97 emissions limits apply to a building on its own.
On its own, a building this size faces no LL97 emissions limit. It is still covered if it shares a tax lot or a condominium board with other buildings totaling more than 50,000 sq ft; DOB’s covered-buildings list is the check.
For buyers underwriting an apartment in a smaller building like 419 West 22nd Street, the recorded floor area is one input to the coverage check. Confirm the building’s tax-lot and condominium scope and current DOB requirements before treating LL97 as absent from the capital plan. Floor area alone does not establish exemption, compliance costs or the absence of assessment exposure.
That said, buildings under 25k sq ft typically have other characteristics worth understanding — smaller reserves, fewer units to absorb major capital projects (boiler replacement, façade work, elevator modernization), and a concentrated impact when assessments do arrive. The editorial profile of 419 West 22nd Street covers the building-specific operational and financial dynamics in detail.
