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?

2:06–maybe. But in my search for a house, EVERY single home I’ve seen that’s been registered with HPD (all 6) has had rent-regulated tenants.
1:46…LOL!

ughh. 3 tenants and a possibility of an SRO. coupled with a not-top-of-the-line neighborhood–no thanks!
1:40,
“This house is registered with HPD, so it definitely has rent-controlled tenants.”
incorrect. all buildings with 3+ units must be registered with HPD. this does not mean rent-controlled (or stabilized) tenants. for that you’d check with DHCR.
Considering the neighborhood, they’re probably armed thugs.

Maybe the tenants took the stoop, huh?
this building looks like quite the lifetime challenge.
Are the tenants respectable or armed thugs?
That makes a big difference too.
hey 1:59–you said “Park Slope” first. No one else did.
Uh oh, it’s time for the racial insensitive comments. Let’s start comparing this to Park Slope.
