yeah, it's def. 38 cranberry per ACRIS. propshark had the house under the wrong address, i think (they had it as #34).

3:07, the EEK renderings are out of date. I asked Time Equities about them. Apparently EEK designed the plans that Time Eq submitted to the EDC in order to be selected for the project. Greenberg will be the architect of record on the new building, though.

Actually has to do with above: There's usually a lag between when sales happen and when the city records them, so there were to many props that hadn't sold. Would have no prob documenting lack of sales, but the info brokers were giving me re: stuff being in contract, price-chopped, what have you wasn't always kosher. Would rather rely on hard numbers than brokers. Don't worry, though: We'll bring the feature back, but probably looking at sales from a 9-month perspective. (Haven't started running that yet because we already covered stuff from 9 months ago with the old 6-months later feature.)

They're the biggest residential sales in Brooklyn recorded in ACRIS each week. I put all the ACRIS sales in a spreadsheet and list the top 5 above. These probably actually sold a couple months ago and were only just recorded last week, though, as there's always a gap between when sales go through and when they show up in city records. The only thing that gets iffy with these is judging commercial vs. residential sales. For example, you could argue that the top sale this week was a commercial sale.

1:43: Also a good point. Guess we'll start doing 9 months later if what brokers are telling us re: in contract status is BS.

1:40: Yeah, good point, but there's no one else to rely on for this info.

1:42: "Mixed" assessment based on two (seemingly) being in contract not a mile away from ask.

Posted by: gabby_w at March 14, 2008 1:45 PM in response to Open House Picks 6 Months Later: 9/21/07

none of these props have closed so we have to rely on brokers to tell us if they're in contract. obviously if they've closed in public records we include that info, but we can't do that if stuff's only in contract. anyhow, don't really understand why a broker would lie about something being in contract. they'd prob. want the listing out there if it was still on the market, no?

BHS broker said yesterday Dean was in contract, though that Craiglist ad certainly tells a diff. story! Hmmm.

OK, we've silenced it!

Ah, interesting. Thought they were new to market since BHS just got the listing.

Hey guys,

Brownstoner's out of the office right now, and I don't want to speak for him. However, I don't think there's a conspiracy afoot.

3:47: I look forward to reading.

I wrote this and wasn't trying to stir the pot. Like Brownstoner said, the vast, vast majority of foreclosure auctions are for properties in Bed-Stuy and East New York. That's all that was meant.

actually, we couldn't find info on two of the properties from last week's batch because the listings seem to have been pulled. didn't want to do it when we had little info to go on since it doesn't really shed light on anything.

Per Planning, this is going through "a public review process similar to ULURP but are not subject to the same ULURP clock that applies to rezonings."

Posted by: gabby_w at January 18, 2008 1:05 PM in response to AIA’s Zoning Tweaks Draw Heat

my understanding was that this did have to go through ULURP, but I'll double check.

Sorry about that--I made a couple of errors in this post. The info should be correct now.
