Re: Douglass Street – not quite a rent-controlled tenant. The house had been in one family for about 50 years, and an elderly cousin lives in one of the apartments. I think sale was contingent on allowing her to stay indefinitely.
Seriously, Kara and MR. B,
You guys know I love this site. I’ve been hanging around here for more than four years. But you’ve got to come clean about the widget. Either bring it back or fess up that broker pressure and the need for business on the marketplace killed the widget. If it is something else, then say so. This has been a bit of a downer and has hurt your cred.
>> unfortunately, the widget wasn’t running on its HOTD post
Yes, how terribly unfortunate. Good thing that problem is fixed.
You guys missed the $3.2 million sale on Lincoln Place in the Slope.
This feature was a lot more fun when we had the widget.
‘Douglass Street have a rent-control ‘ — I hope so and would explain the low price.
again, taunting us with the widget on the park slope house….not nice, Kara, not nice.
Didn’t the Douglass Street have a rent-control (not rent-stab) tenant in place?
Love the $13.75 on the 1 BBP price and the random $2500 on the $3.6mm+ PS price. Clearly hard negotiators.
