We were pleased to see that work has begun on 135 Joralemon. Turns out the old woodframe house, which suffered a major fire on New Year’s Eve almost two years ago, finally sold in September for $2.4 million. Interestingly, it was bought by an LLC, not an individual, which may mean the buyer plans on fixing it up and reselling. Anyone know any deets?

  1. That building must be the only building in Brooklyn that’s zoned HK-1
    (approved for Hookers)

    Why would anybody by that place for that price unless they could run a legal brothel?

  2. I lived down the street from this property for years and always appreciated its ghost house quality. either that or as the house where Stuart Little lived. The location is excellent and if the renovation is done well the house could be amazing.

  3. Spoke with the old guy. The rumor was that they were going to put in an 8 story extension,but that looks unlikely now.

    They did full interior demo work, they had a plumbing contractor in, and now have roofing guys on top.

    Assuming 500k to reno this, it gets you a place for about 3.0MM, which seems quite high considering how small this house is.
