19/07/202321/04/2025dansa

This week, a look back at four of our featured listings from six months ago focused on homes in Sunset Park, Clinton Hill, Ditmas Park, and Cobble Hill. How did they fare?

In Sunset Park, this 1927 Finnish Co-op with a flexible floor plan makes most of its Art Deco roots, with original parquet, moldings, and French doors. Located on the second floor of 531 41st Street, the two-bedroom apartment has a recently updated kitchen. This former Co-op of the Day sold in May for $630,000, which was $15,000 over the asking price.

This sprawling Victorian flat is almost exactly as it was first laid out, and with many of the original details. Located at 275 Clinton Avenue in one of Clinton Hill’s finest apartment buildings, it has three bedrooms and an office, 1.5 bathrooms, and windows in every room. This former Co-op of the Day sold in June for $1.775 million, which was $125,000 under the asking price.

In the Ditmas Park Historic District, an early 20th century standalone has a picturesque gambrel roof on the exterior and an interior that has been converted into a two-family with separate entrances and an abundance of space. At 986 Ocean Avenue,

Sunset Park HDFC Co-op With Three Bedrooms, in-Unit Laundry Asks $599K

28/03/2023dansa

In Sunset Park, this income-restricted co-op is a bit unusual: It is the second floor of an early 20th century row house. The listing doesn’t divulge the details on the qualifying income range for the HDFC (Housing Development Fund Corporation) co-operative, but the unit is spacious with three bedrooms and in-unit laundry.

At 650 51st Street, the house dates to 1909, one of 12 brick houses built on the block by John C. Wandell Co., according to the Sunset Park National Register Historic District nomination. Records show that HPD turned the property over to Habitat for Humanity in 1992, and after rehab a certificate of occupancy as a two-family was issued in 1996. Deeds show the two units were then transferred to an HDFC with the proviso that they were to be sold to qualifying low income individuals or families with an annual income “not exceeding 80 percent of the median income.”

This unit is a generously sized floor-through with a living room and dining area set into the bay facing the street, a kitchen in the middle and two large bedrooms at the rear. A smaller bedroom is off the living room and could be set up as an

As DOT Presents Refined Concepts for BQE, Locals Question Cost, Climate Impact, Two-Lane Study

02/03/2023dansa

More than 100 people filled a gymnasium in Brooklyn Friends School in Downtown Brooklyn Tuesday night to review the Department of Transportation’s refined concepts for the future of the city-owned section of the beleaguered Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, which includes the crumbling triple cantilever.

The meeting came just days after the city announced it would be delaying the launch of its environmental review process from spring to fall. The city will use the time to analyze the impact of reducing the number of BQE lanes in each direction from three to two, following intense pressure from community members and local elected officials.

The department and its partners presented detailed renderings and full 3D models of its three impressive concepts, which would all repair the roadway and better connect Brooklyn Heights to Brooklyn Bridge Park. But a lack of specificity concerning the impact on Brooklyn Bridge Park and other pinch points, costs, construction, pollution, and more, left many with questions.

The gathering took place in the gym at Brooklyn Friends School in Downtown Brooklyn

“I’m concerned that we don’t understand, there’s no information being shared on the impact on the neighborhood, the impact on the park, the potential costs, and ultimately, we have
