House of the Day: 99 Gates Avenue
We’ve gotten a couple of emails and comments from readers wanting to know what’s up with 99 Gates Avenue. There’a been an old-school sign in the front yard for a couple of weeks.

We’ve gotten a couple of emails and comments from readers wanting to know what’s up with 99 Gates Avenue. There’a been an old-school sign in the front yard for a couple of weeks. We picked up the phone and dialed Jac’qui Weekes’ phone number (877-493-3537) and learned the following: The five-story brownstone is an SRO; the owners have applied for, but not yet been granted, the Certificate of Non Harrassment. And it can be yours for the low, low price of $1,400,000. For a house that’s bound to need a complete overhaul (it hasn’t changed hands since 1970 and has probably had SRO tenants for that entire time) that seems pretty pricey as a one- or two-family, but perhaps there’s a condo play to be had.

How much more would this exact same house, with it’s Certificate of Non-harassment, cost if it were on Cumberland street near Lafayette?
I’ll wait for the foreclosure.
Yay brooklyn!
Did anyone notice the Marshall’s seizure sign on the front door? That house may not really be for sale. Jaqui Weeks is the queen of “no sale” property. She also represented that horrible place on St James that never sold. Another “family dispute.”

certificate of non-harrassment is to make sure that no one was illegally forced out of the builidng
what are SRO and certficate of no harrassment? Sorry for being an ignoramus…
I don’t have as much of a problem with ghosts, as they’ve probably been there for quite a while, just as long as there are no leftover skeletons and rotting corpses on the premises. THAT would be a deal breaker!
Is a certificate of non-harassment issued by the city? I thought the certificates were from the prior SRO tenants and then used to justify building permits and CofO changes after the new owner takes possession.
seems to me, if you could get it for $1.1m, it will probably cost another $600k to reno- assuming everything needs to be done top to bottom on all 5 floors including roof, plumbing, electric from street, waste, furnace, i mean everything- it would be worth $1.7-2m in the end and could be designed with 1, maybe 2 apts, to help offset costs. but that takes some serious commitment and the non-harrass is a must.
Thanks Quest. Am new to the area so just catching on.
