Condo of the Day: 30 Main Street, #4G
This fourth-floor loft in the Sweeney Building at 30 Main Street in Dumbo is one sweet pad, that’s for sure. Three bedrooms, over 2,500 square feet of space, attractive open kitchen, you get the idea. According to Property Shark, the seller paid $1,114,98 for the apartment in 2003, so even if he has to take…

parksloper, was it a flip because they mentioned buying it from cynthia rowley.
Floorplans for new dev would be as chancy as russian roulette.
DeLepp, the Real Deal article doesn’t say so, but I’m guessing this couple bought an apartment in a new development based on a floorplan.
Yes, it’s a different situation, but it raises the obvious question: is the broker marketing this apartment illegally by claiming it has three bedrooms? (I’d be very surprised if calling them “interior bedrooms” gets them off the hook.)
Interesting article, makes you wonder whether the new owners walked thru the apt and looked out the windows. Really RE101 in NYC, especially in last few years where every parking lot got developed into a condo.
Interesting article, though different situation. In that circumstance, the buyer could have been mislead. There were windows, just lot-line windows, so not as obvious about meeting the legal requirement. With a truly windowless room, there can be no argument about intent to mislead.

Notwithstanding my prior post about the bedrooms, I also don’t understand the draw of DUMBO. If it wasn’t for the noise I could see it . . . but for the parks, galleries, restaurants, etc., I would much rather live in the Heights or Downtown and make the short walk to enjoy those things rather than have to constantly listen to the deafening noise. The views would be my one positive. And as for transportation, its basically the F train. Which is ok, but as the only close option would lead me to rate transport as below average.
Good heavens and here I thought I made a funny! Oh well glad BHO appreciated.
“I don’t understand why folks have such a visceral reaction to this (or any) listing that references bedrooms without a window.”

Milton: What about our sales?
Praline: I’m not interested in your sales, I have to protect the general public.
