About the building
135 Clinton Avenue is a 25-foot-wide brownstone set well back from the street, with four cooperative apartments. The broad frontage and deep setback are its strongest physical distinctions. Its ownership structure places management with the residents. The building has undergone work on plumbing, sound separation, common halls, the roof and brownstone masonry over the course of its cooperative history.
The homes include full-floor two-bedroom arrangements and a garden residence at the base. Decorative fireplaces and tall windows remain in the interiors, while renovations have introduced in-home laundry. The lower private garden extends the living space behind the house.

What to know if you’re buying
The four-apartment cooperative is managed by its shareholders, so day-to-day administration and decisions about major repairs require direct participation. The private garden combines exclusive outdoor use with shared building components. In this small corporation, a substantial exterior project is divided among only four apartments, in proportion to the shares the offering plan allocates.

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.
