House of the Day: 75 Fenimore Street
Here’s an interesting FSBO. The 1,872-square-foot brick house at 75 Fenimore Street is a comfortable-looking four-bedroom with its own driveway and garage. According to the Prospect Lefferts Gardens Historic District Designation Report, the house, which was built around 1920, is particularly notable for its “steep slate mansard roods and ornamental doorway enframements.” The asking price…
Here’s an interesting FSBO. The 1,872-square-foot brick house at 75 Fenimore Street is a comfortable-looking four-bedroom with its own driveway and garage. According to the Prospect Lefferts Gardens Historic District Designation Report, the house, which was built around 1920, is particularly notable for its “steep slate mansard roods and ornamental doorway enframements.” The asking price of $825,000 seems reasonable to us, but none of the similar houses to either side have changed hands in recent years so close comps aren’t available; a three-story brownstone across the street at 74 Fenimore Street changed hands for $550,000 in 2003. Think this’ll move at this price?

6:05, I’d like to see a pie-chart. But your analysis is apples and oranges, we’re discussing a relatively small part of the 71st precinct. Lefferts Gardens barely covers a quarter of the 71st precinct, whereas the 78th precinct covers both Park Slope and half of Gowanus (plus the park–including the “bad side”). Unless you have access to a much more precise CompStat analysis than the NYPD posts on the web, you are nothing but a troll.
So what you are saying is that there are fewer crimes committed in PLG than in Park Slope??
That’s REALLY what you are saying?
I thought you were a sane man, Bob Marvin.
If you actually believe that, everything you have said in the past doesn’t quite carry the same weight for me as it used to.
You are nothing but a neighborhood booster with blinders on.
Winning 6:05?
Argument?
I don’t think comparing police precinct figures would prove much as the 71st Pct covers an area that extends nearly to Utica Avenue. FWIW I’ll certainly stipulate that the 71 Pct’s stats are worse than the 77th’s.
Still, I’ve lived here a long time and am confident about my “impression,” anecdotal and unscientific though it might be.
What a tough guy you are, 6:05. Threatening to line things up side by side. Next thing you know you’ll be threatening to display things on top of one another.
Your “impression” Bob Marvin does not line up with New York City statistics on crime.
Or would you like me to do a side by side comparison for everyone?
Don’t think you’ll want that, if you had any hope of winning this argument.
What 5:45 said.
5:26, that article was fascinating. Add 20 years to the date, add a zero to all the sales prices and this could be passed off as an article from a recent newspaper.
Denton, I agree the economic issues look similar to prior recessions but I think the social dimension is different. Especially in the early 70s, an entire post-war generation had lived in the city, watched it unravel (in the minds of those who fled) over the late 60s and early 70s and then ditched for greener pastures in the suburbs, for reasons of racism or whatever. Now, I think there’s a significant group who has just made a commitment to plant a flag in the city during the recent real estate run-up and will try to stay here for the long haul.
Not saying there won’t be painful economics for a lot of folks but I’m not sure we’re going to see the flight of a prior generation.
5:20,
I don’t think 5:13 was quite saying “that PLG is safer overall than Park Slope.” However that IS my own impression [and no, I’m neither ‘hating’ on PS, which I actually like a lot, nor claiming that it’s dangerous].
5:45 = 5:29.
