1:12 pm…are you saying it didn’t sell a few months ago or that they flipped it from mid $800Ks?
b/c it definitely sold in march.
>> 72 Carroll sold for mid $800Ks not even 7 mos ago
72 Carroll had an open house at $1.4M a few weeks ago. Broker said that an offer had already been accepted…
There is either a rent-control or rent-stabilized unit in this building. If the tenants is over 64, it’s essentially a rent-controlled unit. After the age of 64 you can’t kick out a rent-stabilized tenant because you’re planning to renovate and live in the entire building…
ok i called the rent guidelines board and the broker…here’s the deal..
the bottom floor has a month to month tenant at $1,750/mo
the first floor has a month to month tenant at $1,600/mo
the third floor is an 82 yr old rent controlled tenant at $360/mo
the fourth floor is a tenant w/ a one year lease at $1,500/mo
if someone wants to buy this and take over the bottom two floors w/ the intention of eventually taking over the rest of the building at some point, it’s not a bad deal, the price just needs to come down a bit.
i also would be suspect of them trying to make $600K w/in 2 yrs. of buying
Why is this townhouse such a risk when there are 1MM+ condos on Tiffany Place and the like just around the corner from there? Just wonderin’
Hicks St IS the BQE in this location, ie. if you want to live here, get ready for having a superhighway at your corner. I love the area generally but the traffic noise, fumes and soot would drive me nuts. And forget about kids and the asthma risk.
Well I was pretty interested before I found out that it was on the WRONG Side. I called and it seems that there is a rent stab. person as other tenants.
whatever the tenant situation is, this is nutsy. like someone else here said, either they are onteh garden level or top floor. neither is cool for that kinda dough.
that last comment is not correct…rent board is not sure as the last registration was from 1984…they say there should have been new registrations filed every 2 yrs, none were, but that doesn’t necessarily mean there isn’t still a rent controlled tenant.
