A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at The New Condos 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.
128 Newton Street is a mid-2000s condominium with floor-through apartments and direct keyed-elevator access. Large windows and private balconies are recurrent features of its two-bedroom layouts. The building occupies the short diagonal street connecting Manhattan and Graham Avenues.
DOB's new-building filing establishes fifteen residences across eight stories. Professional engineer Issam Abourafeh signed the principal application, which was fully permitted in October 2005 and signed off in November 2009. Individual apartment sales were already closing earlier in 2009.
Architecture and unit composition
Two-bedroom, two-bath apartments commonly measure approximately 976 to 1,001 square feet. Those two recurring sizes account for much of the recorded resale activity. The layouts extend through the building, with open living areas and bedrooms positioned along the apartment's depth.
Floor-to-ceiling windows, high ceilings and central heating and cooling are characteristic of the homes. Corner apartments have multiple exposures. Balconies extend selected living spaces outdoors, while larger duplex layouts provide another apartment category within the building.
Keyed elevator service brings the entrance directly to the residence. The building also has a video intercom and a garden. In-unit laundry is present in the apartments, reducing dependence on a common laundry facility.
Building operations
The condominium includes fifteen residential lots and nine nonresidential lots in commercial tax class 4. No residential owner holds more than one apartment in the current ownership count.
The building's fifteen-year 421-a exemption ended after its final appearance on the 2025 roll. The expiration matters to comparisons with sales during the earlier benefit period: the apartment's current carrying costs reflect a different tax stage from the initial sellout and much of the resale history.
Policy framework
Pets: Permitted — confirm with the managing agent. Minimum down payment: Per building policy — confirm with the managing agent. In-unit washer/dryer: Present in apartments — confirm installation requirements with the managing agent.

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.
See full Local Law 97 analysis →Facade safety — Local Law 11
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 2015–20 to 2020–25. 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.

Market read. Most recent trades (2026 to date) cleared a median $1,532/sf (floor-adjusted) across 1 sale. Floor-adjusted means each sale is restated to a constant mix of floors, so the figure can differ from the plain median of the sales listed above. Median listing discount 0.5% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy.

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.
