Condo of the Day: Controversial 565 Dean Street

The new building at the corner of Carlton and Dean in Prospect Heights has seen its share of controversy in its short life. While it was under construction last year, a group of neighbors cried foul, claiming that the 5,800-square-foot structure was larger than the building code allowed for. (Not that it proves anything, but PropertyShark shows that the building is 1,800 square feet over its legal FAR.) According to a comment on a post we did last December, they went as far as to sue the developers. It appears to have been for naught, as one of the three units, a 2,200-square-foot triplex, is now on the market for a cool $1,400,000. There’s an open house this evening from 6 to 8. We’d love a report (as well as some camera phone photos) in the morning!
