A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 102 Clay Street would likely sell for today, what it costs to sell, and what you’d walk away with — reviewed personally against condition, exposures, renovation quality, and the competition actually on the market.
About the building
102 Clay Street is a four-residence condominium occupying a 25-foot-wide brick building in northern Greenpoint. Full-floor homes extend across its broad footprint, and the property has traded as individually owned apartments since at least 2004. The association consists of four residential tax lots, with no single owner holding more than one of them on the DOF roll.
The apartment types include two-bedroom, two-bathroom homes with additional office space. The top-floor accommodation has a substantial private roof deck above the main living level. Storage is available within the building. The residential floors retain the proportions of a low-rise masonry building, with windows at the front and rear.
Local Law 97
This building is below the 25,000 sq ft threshold at which LL97 limits apply to a building on its own. It is still covered if it shares a tax lot or condominium board with buildings totaling over 50,000 sq ft; confirm on DOB’s covered-buildings list.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 3-02488-7501; each condominium apartment is its own tax lot).

What to know if you’re buying
Private roof use and common roof costs meet here. For the top-floor home, distinguish responsibility for the deck surface and access from responsibility for the roof membrane beneath it. With only four residences, the condominium's allocation of that work has a direct effect on each owner's exposure.

How to read the facts on this page. Items attributed to an offering plan describe the building as it was offered at that filing — unit mix, square footage, the amenity program as planned. They are not a statement about how the building operates today. Tax and compliance figures are sourced separately to current City records and carry their own dates. House rules, staffing and fee policy can change by board resolution without any public filing: treat every policy line here as a starting point for diligence and confirm it with the managing agent. Where this page compares one building or neighborhood to another, that is our analysis of the recorded record — it names the measure, the period and the sample it rests on, and it is an observation about medians rather than a prediction about any particular apartment.
