House of the Day: 150 Bond Street
We all know that Boerum Hill is hot (as hot as anything can be called in this market, that is), but is it really hot enough to justify a three-story gut job asking $2,495,000? Don’t think so. This is a nice looking house from the outside and all, and the three-slot parking garage is worth…

This is a nice looking house from the outside and all, and the three-slot parking garage is worth a premium as well, but still…all the current owner has done is get the project approved by DOB and Landmarks and put in new steel beams. What are we missing here?

any potential buyer may want to check out
1) the 3-4″ lean on the house (unless this buyer installed some sort of masonry anchor/restraint to keep the building from pulling further outward),
2) the tree growing out of the inside of the garage/garden wall,
3) the rat family that has a hole in the basement and used to (maybe still does) have access to the parlor floor closet.
4) the waterbug family..not as grave as rats..but still a turn off
5) the drainage in the basement…buyer should have poured a new floor for this price
6) The roof should have been a tear off as it had been poorly done over the years with mounds of tar around the chimneys as opposed to proper flashing.
Does anyone know if the garden roof was re-done? This was also in bad shape.

ok, so what`s your point? gowanus is still a polluted cesspool and $10mn is way more than $120K.
gowanus is the next big neighborhood in nyc.
you all don’t need to believe it.
no one believed in 1980 that the lower east side or east village or hells kitchen would be hot.
it takes someone with a certain mind to be able to see potential in a neighborhood.
some have it and make tons of money, and some don’t.
in 1980 i bought 3 tenement buildings in the east village for about 120k.
sold them in 2004 for 15 million to a developer who was going to renovate them for condos.
10 years ago property you couldn’t GIVE away in the gowanus is now selling for 10 million.
Will landmarks let you put a bunch of new windows on the side? ‘cuz otherwise, the fact that its a corner bldg is pointless, really.
9:14 — word! seriously, the way (the) broker(s) are clogging up this forum lately is just one step away from craigslist. (unlike in some cities, where craigslist is still an awesome source for real estate, the NYC version is so full of brokers making shit up, it’s not even worth looking anymore.) i’m pretty much ready to quit reading this shit, because who wants to waste so much time on all the brokers trying to front like they’re not, basically making shit up to jack up their price! kills me… i say down with the ability to comment as guest… i guess i’ll have to register for real soon! (or just quit this shit)
i think its a good price
2 garages = new house
For this price, you can buy a renovated place with 4 floors on better blocks.
with a 3-car garage? How much is a three car garage worth? And how much better a block are you talking about?
It is unbelievable how these brokers are here plugging this ridiculous crap.
