Has anyone been to visit 136 Dikeman in Red Hook? (Listings here: http://bk.ly/xe0 )

It looks like the owner bought the building for $825,000 a few years ago, and has been trying for quite some time to sell it as condos. The top floor is for sale as one condo unit, without a kitchen and without bathroom finishes for $630K even though it is currently two separate apartments(that are in total disrepair and again, no kitchen, so it would be tough to get a mortgage) and a projected combined *condo* fee of over $1,000 a month. The broker was not able to answer basic questions when I was there. I’m marveling at the chutzpah, but also sheepish to admit that I sort of fell in love with the falling apart building (though obviously not at $550 a square foot for a squat that’s a 25 minute walk to the F train).

Anyone else visited and want to weigh in on the peculiar case of 136 Dikeman?

109 St. Marks Place btwn 4th and 5th Ave in beautiful Park Slope today, October 17, 11-5 pm. Art supplies, yards of fabric, books, housewares, lighting, clothes, books, accessories and MUCH MORE!”

This building is in serious need of repair, but it is so beautiful. I would hate to see it torn down for Condos. Anybody out there ready for a huge restoration project?

Can anyone recommend a house cleaner? Thanks…

I am looking to buy a 1br apartment in Prospect Heights. I am considering a co-op on 394 Lincoln Place between Underhill and Washington Heights. The building has about 20 units, but about 5-6 are currently for sale. Is this a large percent for a building this size? Any insight as to why?

How does one go about finding the actual sale price of a co-op. I am interested in putting a bid on a place and the identical apartment (except with better renovations) above it is presently in contract. i know the listing price of that condo is the same as the listing price of the condo I’m interested in. But how do I find the actual sale price that was accepted?

I’m renovating a house and have an antique claw foot tub and original brownstone pocket doors for sale.

There are currently 4 apartments in this building for sale and at least two that have sold in the past 4 months (in this market). Anyone have thoughts/information as to why the exodus? I’ve heard that while a co-op, they allow rentals – why not rent? Big maintenance costs coming? Also, if anyone knows a renter at this location, I would be interested in general rental price (also just curious if they really do allow renters)
