## Summary

159-12 59th Avenue (Queens, NY 11365; tax lot BBL 4067370035) is a two-family home (building class B3: two-family home converted from one-family), built around 1930, on a 2,500 sq ft lot zoned R3A. City tax records list the owner as VILLAR , GERMAN. The Department of Finance's final market value for tax year 2027 is $1,034,000. As of November 9, 2026, NYC Open Data shows no open DOB jobs, no active DOB, DOB NOW safety or ECB violations and no open HPD violations for this lot, but it does show three OATH tickets with an unpaid balance. An unpaid OATH ticket is a fine the city says is still owed. It is counted separately from violations, so this lot has no open violations but is not free of outstanding items.
