Condos of the Day: 145 Halsey Street
According to the marketing verbiage, 145 Halsey Street was built in 1892 by someone named P.F. Emmett.

According to the marketing verbiage, 145 Halsey Street was built in 1892 by someone named P.F. Emmett. It’s now being reborn as a four-unit condo after undergoing an extensive renovation that restored much of the house’s original detail while updating its systems. There was an open house for the downstairs apartment on Sunday. Asking price: $425,000. A second unit will be ready for viewing in time for the two open houses this weekend. Anyone check it out yet?

word have connotations so be honest.
Actually 11:03 I own. Sometimes the desire to improve the community trumps profit margin. I know it’s hard for you to wrap your mind around that but there are some transactions that are not simply about maximizing profit. The Civic, The Communal are Values just as extracting maximum profit is about values.
In DC, there are black families lowering their prices for other black families just so that this neighborhood is not taken over by people who, in the end, will clutch their purses whenever a black man is present. In order to maintain a sense of community, these people are lowering their profit expectations. Other groups do this too.
These apartments will not sell at these prices anyway.
Calling a area a slum is a statement of economics, not race. Get your mind out of your white pillowcase.
Bed-Stuy is not a slum. God, you freaks need to get out more. And you need to learn how to identify your racist tendencies.
“I can’t help thinking about people in this neighborhood who would love these apartments at a lower price.”
“I guess at the end of the day all flippers are greedy and trying to make money. I rarely see a flip where the prices are moderate and reasonable because ppl want to squeeze every dime possible from their efforts.”
This kind of talk is insane. Who in their right mind sells real estate for anything less than the maximum? These posters are either renters or hypocrites. Or both.
I am not sure that just because an old house was cut up into four apartments sometime in the past that it can waive all multiple dwelling, life and safety and handicap codes when it undergoes a major rehab and when it incoporates into a condominium association.
I don’t know. it seems to me that I have heard others having real issues with some of the things that appear not to be an issue (wooden stairs) on this project.
Certainly a new C of O would require code compliance and I doubt this building ever had a C of O. Hopefully the attorneys for the buyers will do their due diligence.
the most expensive unit in 504 hancock is still sitting at corcoran for 485k and its a 2 bedroom. the cheapest unit sold for 345 pretty quickly because thats probably a more reasonable price to charge for condos of this nature. I guess at the end of the day all flippers are greedy and trying to make money. I rarely see a flip where the prices are moderate and reasonable because ppl want to squeeze every dime possible from their efforts. I think these units will sell well if they were priced in the mid 3s and amy and her nice white family will make their profit quickly and run for the border but that won’t happen. they’ll leave them priced in the 400s and it will sit for a while before someone snaps it up which will increase carrying cost. that said, there was a similar reno on macdonough between stuyvesant and lewis (arguably the best block in stuyvesant heights) and the units were priced at 485. they didn’t have much details and the rooms were tiny but I guess they sold since they’re not up anymore. hasley ain’t macdonough though.

You First. I’m not giving out my address to an obviously psychopath with stalker tendencies.
If you read The What often, you will notice that his grammar & spelling are just fine when he takes his time. His errors come from passion. And, most importantly, he is right.
I want to say good luck to Amy, and I do wish her luck, but I can’t help thinking about people in this neighborhood who would love these apartments at a lower price.
