About Historic LIC

Historic LIC explores Hunters Point Historic District in Long Island City, Queens. It is presented by Lauren Renee Bennett, Licensed Associate Real Estate Broker with The Mijalkovic Bennett Team at The Corcoran Group.

For an example of her townhouse work, explore Lauren’s past seller representation at 10-33 Jackson Avenue on the team website. This mixed-use property is outside Hunters Point Historic District.

The guide is not affiliated with or endorsed by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission. “LPC-designated” refers to the district’s official status, not approval of this website.

How to read the architecture profiles

The building-group profiles summarize the 1968 designation report. Dates, materials and details are historical descriptions, not representations of current condition. The total of 47 buildings is calculated by adding the counts in the report’s twelve groups.

Questions for buyers are editorial prompts for further investigation. They are not findings of defects, legal conclusions or claims that a property is for sale. The guide does not provide a live listing feed or generic renovation budgets. The dated market review introduces how Lauren compares homes. The dated transfer research below records its source and limitations; it does not establish a district median price or current market activity.

Current condition, lawful use, alterations, title and financing require address-specific records and appropriate professional review. Photography is dated and should not be treated as a current inspection.

Source review date: September 23, 2026. Agency processes and records may change; consult the linked primary sources when making decisions.

Dated district transfer research

We downloaded the NYC Department of Finance’s Queens rolling-sales workbook on September 23, 2026. Its coverage is September 2025 through August 2026, and its PTS extract is dated September 9, 2026. Matching the workbook against all 47 distinct BBLs in the LPC district building data produced one record.

Retained record: 21-14 45TH AVE · BBL 4000770053 · DOF sale date December 22, 2025 · recorded price $0.

This is a transfer record, not a comparable market sale. DOF describes $0 entries as transfers without cash consideration. The workbook does not establish the purpose of this transfer, the interest conveyed or arm’s-length status. The date above is the DOF sale-date field, not a separately verified deed-recording date.

The geographic filter used the 47 unique borough-block-lot identifiers in the LPC building data retrieved for this site. Each Queens workbook row was matched by its ten-digit BBL, constructed from borough, block and lot. We did not use the workbook’s wider Long Island City neighborhood label as a substitute for the district.

All matching rows were retained. The one matched record appears on worksheet row 17,027. There were no repeated matched BBLs or exact duplicate matched records. The dated matching-record CSV preserves the source fields; descriptive fields such as unit counts are DOF data and do not certify legal occupancy.

The agency’s downloadable workbook is a rolling resource and will change. The dates printed here identify the extract used for this snapshot; the current download may contain a later period. The site’s research archive retains the original downloaded workbook.

Interactive map data

The map uses the designated Hunters Point polygon and all 47 district building footprints from LPC’s public ArcGIS services, as linked through the agency’s Discover NYC Landmarks application. Data was retrieved September 23, 2026.

The Historic Districts layer identifies the current designated district as LP-00450, feature 60. Building geometry and addresses come from the LPC Historic Buildings layer. The designation report is numbered LP-0450.

All 47 footprints are assigned to the report’s twelve address groups. The numbered markers are calculated from those footprints; they are editorial group markers, not an official LPC point layer. The map is north-up and uses a local geographic projection. Street text is a cartographic annotation.

The map supports orientation and architectural research. Confirm legal boundaries and the property’s current records with the official sources and appropriate professionals. Download the retrieved district geometry or building geometry.

Architectural illustrations

The house pages include schematic studies of features described in LPC’s 1968 report: entrances, stone railings, masonry, roof forms, projecting bays and wood details. They explain those features rather than reconstructing a particular home’s full façade or interior. The location diagrams use the same official building footprints as the district map, with the relevant group highlighted.
