139 Clinton Avenue

PLUTO records a four-floor building of about 5,480 square feet with five apartments. The Department of Buildings filings describe five stories, counting a basement level, and keep the count at five dwelling units before and after the work. Haffey Architecture and Engineering filed an Alteration Type 1 job in 2021, the category used for a change in use, egress or occupancy. Related filings cover new steel and cold-formed steel framing in masonry bearing walls, a sprinkler system, and concrete foundation pads with steel grillage beams for the rear extension. The structural permit issued in July 2022, the foundation permit in March 2026, and support-of-excavation work for three new footings was signed off in July 2026.

The plan's construction field reads "rehab," which matches the filings: the existing building is being rebuilt inside, with an addition at the rear. No layouts, finishes or renderings have been published.

Per the offering plan filed with the New York State Attorney General (plan CD250392), the plan was submitted November 25, 2025 by 139 Clinton Venture LLC and covers five residential units and no other units. It has not been accepted as of October 2026. The submitted total offering price is $8,200,000. The Attorney General's plan detail page returned an empty response when we checked in October 2026, so these figures come from a database extract and any submission-stage revisions were not reviewed.

Until the Attorney General accepts the plan, the sponsor cannot sign purchase contracts or take deposits or reservations, binding or non-binding; an interest list does not secure a unit.

No asking prices have been published. Recent Clinton Hill comparisons: 166 Washington Avenue, a conversion and enlargement of seven homes, carries a $9.185 million plan, and 102 Downing Street, six new-construction homes, a $13.1 million plan.

Wait for acceptance. The plan can change before the Attorney General accepts it, including prices and unit layouts. Read the accepted version and every amendment.

Read the yard allocation. On a 200-foot lot, whether the rear yard is a limited common element tied to one home or common to all five affects both value and common charges.

Renovation, not ground-up. In a gut renovation, ask which systems are new and which are retained: roof, facade, windows, risers, waste lines. The plan's engineer's report describes the building's condition.

Closing costs. In sponsor sales the buyer customarily pays the New York State transfer tax (0.4%) and the New York City real property transfer tax (1.425% above $500,000), plus the state mansion tax of 1% from $1 million to $2 million. At the plan's $1.64 million average that is about $29,900 in transfer taxes before any gross-up and $16,400 in mansion tax. Use the calculators below to run your price.

A five-unit condominium. With five owners, each vote, assessment and repair carries more weight than in a larger building.
