As long as it doesn’t turn out to be an SRO with no interior architectural detail, the listing for 78 Halsey Street looks looks interesting if it could be picked up at a slight discount to the $799,000 asking price. The four-story brick and stone house has lost a stoop and looks worse for the wear but it’s a beautiful structure very conveniently located a block from the Nostrand A train. The New York Times listing says it’s an eight-family house; Property Shark says six. Either way, there are at least three tenants still in place, not great news for someone who wants to buy and condo the building. Anyone know what the deal is with the interior and the tenants?

  1. Oh aren’t we high on our little class horse today 3:35

    Not all poor people are cretins and FYI – many ‘middle class’ people are moving into stabablized apartments now. I live in one in PLG and most of the new tenants are white kids fresh out of college who a few years ago would have lived elsewhere, but don’t have trust funds.
    The rest of the majority are people who have been there for years and are no worse than my ex-neighbors in CG.

  2. “This neighborhood is not known for having the best quality rent-stabilized tenants.”

    Which neighborhood IS known for having the “best quality” rent-stabilized tenants? I’m just curious.

  3. “Because of the credit crunch, gentrification will come to a halt in Bed-Stuy. Anyone who buys here will be stuck in a low-class hood with (poor) low class people. I need more than Subways, KFCs, Chinese Food and Bodegas in my life.”

    This is the best comment so far this year!!!!!!!! Plus the asshats will be stuck in the Hood. Oh you got to love it!!!!!!!!

    Someday this war is gonna end…..

  4. This neighborhood is not known for having the best quality rent-stabilized tenants. I would be very careful when buying in Bed-Stuy.

  5. “Why is it always assumed on this site that everything should be turned into condos? ”

    Right. That makes this sale price even worse, then. It’s split up into 6 apartments, has renters, and there’s not one photo of the interior. Converting this back into a 1-or 2-family will cost you LOTS of dough, making the current price and tenant issue even MORE ridiculous.
