House of the Day: 99 Gates Avenue

We’ve gotten a couple of emails and comments from readers wanting to know what’s up with 99 Gates Avenue. There’a been an old-school sign in the front yard for a couple of weeks. We picked up the phone and dialed Jac’qui Weekes’ phone number (877-493-3537) and learned the following: The five-story brownstone is an SRO; the owners have applied for, but not yet been granted, the Certificate of Non Harrassment. And it can be yours for the low, low price of $1,400,000. For a house that’s bound to need a complete overhaul (it hasn’t changed hands since 1970 and has probably had SRO tenants for that entire time) that seems pretty pricey as a one- or two-family, but perhaps there’s a condo play to be had.
