Seen Better Times on Jefferson Ave

building
We love this elegant old walk-up apartment building at 498 Jefferson Avenue, paint color and all. Judging from the boarded up windows, it's had a rough run of late. A perusal of its Property Shark profile turns up a reference to HPD and vacate orders. It looks like it changed hands for $80,000 back in '03 but that it now is in the hands of the city. Anyone know if this is right? We hope it ends up in the right hands.

Very handsome building. Someone should get intouch with uhab they help buy city owned building and turn them into affordable housing coops.

Somebody is already fixing the building up
Work started this summer. I don't who's bought it though.

I live in this building now. They've repainted it (blue) and done an excellent job rehabilitating it! The apartments are all newly renovated, with hard wood floors; the mailboxes are brand new; there is a new chandelier in the foyer and new locks on the doors. I like it here!
