The House That Schumer Built?

We’re going to need some help on this one. We snapped a photo of 9 Prospect Place simply based on its interest as an architectural curiosity. When we went to look it up on Property Shark, we noticed that one of the names that pops up in association with the property in recent years is none other than Charles Schumer. He filed a UCC1 for what was at the time, we believe, a two-unit co-op. Someone else filed a permit to build the rooftop extension back in 2005–and is still plugging away at it. So what’s the scoop? Is this where Schumer lives? Was it just an investment? And what do you think of the design? GMAP P*Shark
Prospect Place between Flatbush and 6th has several cool buildings……
Does Schumer have a law firm on the side that could have filed paperwork on behalf of the building?
My friend’s brother designed and owns this building. It has a 1 bedroom ground floor rental and two-floor unit above. The current expansion includes adding a sunroom and roof deck, and also expanding horizontally into part of the backyard. He did a great job designing the interior, as well.
My guess is error in paperwork – Schumers coop is 9 Prospect Pk West…
Don’t know who messed up the filing or whether makes any diffence. I’m not a coop owner.
Charles Schumer doesn’t live there. My friends live there. Yes, one of the couple is an architect. He and his brother and father are doing most of the work. They built the house below too.
I don’t know anything about Charles Schumer’s involvement.
The only fact we stated was that Schumer is listed having filed a UCC1 on the property back in 2003. Still no definitive answer on what his continued interest, in any, in the building is.
damn, get your facts straight brownstoner.
I talked to the the owner a couple of years ago. Built by a young architect who lives there. It’s a great building. Looks like they’re adding on top.
Schumer and Weinshall live at 9 Prospect Park West – I was walking by there this morning as Iris was leaving and she growled at my dog…
