135 Jackson Street (The Jacksonia)

Each building has two apartments per floor, A and B, in the same stack:

• First floor, about 1,384 square feet on the roll. The Condominium II plan pairs each first-floor apartment with basement recreation space and part of the rear yard. The roll figure includes the below-grade space.
• Second and third floors, about 750 square feet. These have balconies.
• Fourth floor, about 1,105 square feet. These have a balcony, roof terraces and attic storage.

The Condominium I roll shows the same three sizes line for line, which is consistent with a single plan. Its outdoor-space allocations should be read from its own declaration rather than assumed from Condominium II's.

The Condominium II plan warns that its square footages are gross figures and that usable floor area "may be significantly smaller." That applies to every size quoted for these buildings, including the roll figures above. For the first-floor lines, the difference between gross area and finished above-grade living space is large, so price those apartments on the floor plan.

The plan also puts most of the maintenance inside the unit on the owner. Each apartment has its own boiler and water heater, so heat and hot water are owner costs rather than common charges. Top-floor attic space is limited to storage.

The 421-a exemption has run out on the roll. The exemption roll carries 421-a code 5113, the 15-year program, on every apartment in both condominiums, with a benefit start of 2009/10 and a pre-construction base year of 2004. The exemption stepped down through the early 2020s and reached zero on the 2024/25 roll. Some Condominium I lots show a 25-year term in the roll's term field, but they carry the same 15-year code and reached zero on the same schedule. That is a data-entry inconsistency, not a longer benefit. Check each apartment's current bill; future bills still change with assessments and rates.

At the 2026/27 taxable assessments and a Class 2 rate of about 12.5 percent, our estimate from the roll is roughly $9,500 to $10,800 a year for a 750-square-foot apartment and $12,500 to $13,600 for a first-floor 1,384. Condominium II assesses slightly higher than Condominium I for the same layout. These are estimates, not bills. Use the current bill for the specific unit.

The two associations are run separately. Condominium I's purchase process runs through an admissions committee that reviews the application, interviews the buyer and then decides on its right of first refusal. Condominium II's by-laws, on file in The Roebling Research Library, give the board power to buy or lease a unit an owner has elected to sell or lease. Current fees, reserves and common charges for each condominium should come from the managing agent. No audited financial statements for either condominium are on file.

Recent sales

Recent closings at this building, from The Roebling Research Library. Prices are the transfer amounts recorded with the NYC Department of Finance; apartment-level detail is checked against the building’s own file in The Roebling Research Library before publishing.

Market read. Most recent trades (2025) cleared a median $1,160/sf (floor-adjusted) across 2 sales. 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 0.0% from the last ask.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 3-02744-7503; each condominium apartment is its own tax lot). Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified in The Roebling Research Library. Not all transactions cross-verify with ACRIS records — sponsor and LLC purchases sometimes record at stipulated values rather than market price; square footage from recorded condo declarations and offering plans.

Confirm which condominium you are buying into. 131–135 and 137–145 have separate boards, budgets and application processes. Your contract, title report and managing-agent questionnaire should all name the same one.

Underwrite the full tax bill. The abatement ended with the 2023/24 tax year. Put the current bill, not a historical one, into the carrying-cost model, along with the apartment's own heat and hot-water costs.

Measure the first-floor apartments. The 1,384-square-foot figure includes below-grade space. Price the above-grade living area and the basement and yard on their own terms.

Expect a committee review. Condominium I interviews buyers before it waives its right of first refusal. Build that into the closing timeline.

Lead with outdoor space. Rear yards on the first floor, balconies on the middle floors and roof terraces on the top floor are what the plan distinguishes by floor. Market the one your apartment has.

Price against post-abatement comparables. Buyers and their lenders will see full taxes. The most useful comparables are resales from 2024/25 onward, in the same condominium and on the same line.
