Co-op of the Day: 806 Carroll Street
Here’s a place we can probably all agree to drool over. The parlor-level floor-through co-op at 806 Carroll Street in Park Slope has twelve windows on three sides and some of the sweetest wood moldings and built-ins we’ve seen in a long time. (The location ain’t too shabby either.) The maintenance is only $850, quite…
Here’s a place we can probably all agree to drool over. The parlor-level floor-through co-op at 806 Carroll Street in Park Slope has twelve windows on three sides and some of the sweetest wood moldings and built-ins we’ve seen in a long time. (The location ain’t too shabby either.) The maintenance is only $850, quite low for what we estimate is about a 1,200-square-foot apartment. The asking price isn’t quite as low however: $1,195,000. Think they’ll get their price?

Two types on tis site — 1) anonymous wise-asses who like to bait 2) overly ernest morons.
4:28 – no, but talking about it with a blase and totally entitled attitude does make you a twit – exactly the kind of twit one finds in park slope. Not to mention the brag “I make less than 200,00 because I’m in the arts.” 99% of people in the arts make less than $100,000, let alone 200k.
making 150k in the arts while you are in graduate school. now that’s impressive.
Is this across the street from 799 Carroll, former HOTD?
Umm, $1.2M for a 1br? Even in Park Slope, even with some mantels and moldings, that’s a bit ridiculous. (Mantels and moldings CAN be put in after the fact, and it doesn’t cost THAT much money to do so.)
Plus, that maintenance issue worries me. First of all, I’d call it low-ish, not “quite low.” Yes, under $1/sf is pretty good… in Brooklyn it’s what I’d look for as a cutoff. But there are plenty of co-ops in this area with maintenance around $0.50/sf. So this maintenance isn’t bad, but it’s not really great either.
More importantly, how on earth can it be 0% deductible? One of the main reasons maintenance is as high as $1/sf is that it covers an underlying balloon mortgage and gobs of RE taxes. If this maintenance doesn’t cover those things, what exactly are you paying for? It’s a brownstone conversion, so there’s no doorman, no super, no elevator, etc. $850 maintenance with none going to taxes or underlying mortgage makes me very worried about how this building’s finances are managed…

i went to harvard, but was actually making $250K when i graduated kindergarten. I can name 5 classmates who were making $400k right out of the womb. sometimes we go to park slope to beat up the eli alums and take their bonuses.
just cause you didn’t figure out how to make 150k does not make someone who did a twit.
3:10 Making $150k a year means you make more than 92.5% of all HOUSEHOLDS in this country. Good for you, but that does make you and your friends extraordinarily fortunate. Upper class twit.
