this is the way i always do it if you want to find sales in that building

first make sure you have the latest java installed

click on find addresses and parcels
input your address
look at the block and lot number it comes back with

go back to the original link and go to search property records
click the second link parcel identifier
input the info from the first search and leave it for to current date for the date range
search

the co-op pricing info goes back to 2003 or 2004. if your apartment was bought before then it won't have the info and you will have to go by the current comps

you can also search by document type. look at the document from the previous search that gives pricing. then search for that document type for all of queens say for the last 90 days which is when the spring selling season starts. and click on all block numbers that are close to the building you are interested in. chances are they will be in the same area to give you comps.

you can also check out propertyshark.com. free registration. you can search by area for co-op prices

i was in the area yesterday and drove by. I don't know the comps, but i would personally prefer the area in the mid 70's for Jackson Heights
