Stuyvesant Town-Peter Cooper Village, Manhattan

Zoning and property records for the Stuyvesant Town-Peter Cooper Village neighborhood.

Stuyvesant Town-Peter Cooper Village's tax-lot records describe an outlier by scale: the entire complex sits on just 9 tax lots, with a median lot size of 220,376 square feet, yet those lots carry 11,311 housing units between them. All of it, 100%, sits inside a mapped flood zone on file, and only 22% of lots carry a residential land-use designation — the rest recorded under other categories.

Stuyvesant Town-Peter Cooper Village: what the records show

Stuyvesant Town-Peter Cooper Village is a scale outlier among these tax-lot files: the whole neighborhood resolves to just 9 recorded tax lots. The median lot size is 220,376 square feet, and the largest lots on file reach 828,650 square feet — sizes that describe superblock parcels rather than individual building footprints. Across those 9 lots sit 11,311 housing units, though only 22% of lots carry a residential land-use designation; the balance falls under other recorded land-use categories, a reminder that a land-use code describes how a lot is classified on the tax roll, not whether people live on it. A tax-lot count that small carrying that many recorded units reflects a single superblock development rather than an ordinary block grid of individually platted parcels.

Land-use codes here split three ways: 56% of lots fall under one recorded category, 22% under mixed residential-and-commercial use, and 11% under another category, a pattern consistent with a superblock layout of towers, grounds, and shared infrastructure rather than a conventional block-by-block residential file. Building-class records are similarly concentrated among a handful of large-scale classifications — 33% of structures under one classification, 22% recorded as elevator apartment buildings, and 22% under a further separate classification. With only 9 lots total, each percentage point in these mixes corresponds to a specific recorded parcel rather than a broad statistical sample.

Flood mapping is complete here: 100% of the neighborhood's lots sit inside a mapped flood zone, a fact about the current federal flood map rather than a claim about how often water actually reaches any given building on the site. No lots carry a mapped historic-district designation, 0% on file. The records carry no reliable year-built, floor-height, or development-headroom coverage for this neighborhood, so none of those figures can be cited here — an honest gap in coverage rather than a zero, and different in kind from the 0% historic-district figure just above it.

The complex borders the East Village and Gramercy immediately to the west, Murray Hill-Kips Bay to the north, and reaches across the river toward Williamsburg. Given how few tax lots make up the entire recorded file, and how much of the standard year-built and floor-area data is absent for this neighborhood, per-lot detail for any specific building here is worth checking directly through PearlAudit's records rather than relied on from these aggregate figures alone.
