A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 118 Eighth Avenue 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.
118 Eighth Avenue rises eleven stories at the corner of Carroll Street, one block from Prospect Park. The 1936 apartment house was designed by M. E. Ungarleider for Carroll Eighth Holding Corporation and now contains 55 cooperative residences. Its height gives some upper-floor homes long views over the surrounding streets toward Manhattan and the harbor.
The building combines prewar room proportions with a staffed entrance for part of the day and a live-in superintendent. Apartments retain features such as beamed ceilings, hardwood floors, entry foyers and large windows. A fitness room, shared laundry and storage facilities support the residential operation.
The corner position creates several exposure combinations within a relatively compact inventory. Lower homes relate closely to the avenue and cross street, while higher apartments can clear neighboring roofs. The building's location inside the Park Slope Historic District also protects a larger surrounding architectural setting.
Architecture and unit composition
LPC classifies the building as neo-Georgian. Its prewar exterior and corner massing belong to the apartment-house development that added taller elevator buildings to Park Slope's established streets. The current built FAR is substantially above the district's standard residential allowance, reflecting the density of the existing eleven-story structure.
One-bedroom apartments and larger two-bedroom layouts make up the documented resale inventory. Larger homes can include split bedrooms, a separate entry foyer and an ample living room with a dining area. Windowed kitchens recur, including eat-in arrangements in some plans.
Beamed ceilings and original oak flooring are part of the interior character. Large casement windows can bring light from two directions in corner apartments. Rooms facing different portions of the building's two frontages have different morning and afternoon light, and the outlook changes considerably as the apartments rise above neighboring roofs.
Several of the larger documented homes are around 1,100–1,200 square feet, with some configurations exceeding that size. The one-bedroom inventory includes substantial living rooms and closets, so bedroom count alone does not communicate how the space is distributed. Renovation may preserve a separate kitchen and foyer or change the relationship between dining and living areas.
Some upper-floor residences have views reaching Manhattan landmarks, the harbor or the bridges. Those views are specific to height and direction. A lower corner unit gains extra window frontage, not the same far-off view as the higher floors.
Building operations
Part-time door service and an on-site superintendent provide a staffed operating structure for the 55 residences. Shared laundry and the fitness room occupy common building space. Bicycle storage is available, and private storage is subject to a waiting list.
The landmark designation applies to the building as part of the Park Slope Historic District. Work affecting regulated exterior features, including windows and masonry, falls within LPC's review framework. An apartment renovation that reaches the exterior may therefore need approvals beyond the cooperative's own alteration process.
The cooperative is in tax Class 2 and has no building-wide abatement in the DOF record. The building's height also puts it within the city's façade inspection program. Its high corner elevations and prewar exterior form are substantial common assets maintained through the cooperative.
Policy framework
Financing and approval. The documented financing allowance is up to 80% — confirm with the managing agent. Ordinary resales are subject to cooperative approval, while a sponsor-owned apartment may follow a different approval process. Any sponsor-sale exception applies to that particular transaction and should not be assumed to cover the rest of the building.
Pets. Pets are allowed with board approval — confirm with the managing agent. The approval requirement is relevant even where the building is generally described as pet-friendly.

The latest available FISP filing classified the facade as Safe — no repairs were required at that inspection. A filed Safe grade is not a guarantee of current condition: owners still maintain the facade and, where required, observe parapets each year. Future inspection timing (Local Law 49 of 2025 changed the cycle framework from October 1, 2026), repair and any assessment decisions remain building-specific.
How to read this, and where it comes from
QEWI = Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector — a licensed professional engineer or registered architect who meets DOB’s FISP qualifications and signs the report (the independent expert, not the managing agent).
Penalties shown are amounts DOB assessed against filings on record across 2005–10 to 2025–30. The FISP dataset does not record whether they were paid, contested or remain open, so treat the figure as history rather than a current balance and confirm the building’s standing with the managing agent.

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.
