Cost of Owning a Brownstone

We’ve been longtime lurkers on Brownstone and appreciated all the knowledge we’ve gleaned. We’re considering buying a 4 story, 17 foot wide brownstone but are not sure we are ready to shift from condo to brownstone ownership. I know there have been posts on this in the past, but have been unable to call them up. The question: We’re wondering about monthly costs of ownership as well as periodic costs of things we haven’t thought of. So, how much do you hold in the bank and how much are you paying out (on average) every month?
