About the building
139 Pacific Street is a four-residence cooperative in an 1888 brownstone within the Cobble Hill Historic District. The four-story building retains the scale of a rowhouse, with upper homes occupying an entire floor. Its brownstone façade and historic-district designation place exterior alterations within LPC's jurisdiction. Existing floor area is greater than the current zoning allowance.
The upper residences include three-bedroom, two-bathroom floor-through plans, with rooms facing the street and rear gardens. Bay windows and tall openings bring light into broad living spaces, while decorative fireplaces survive in the interiors. Modernized homes have central or split-system cooling and their own laundry. Common storage provides additional space beyond the apartments. The top-floor home is reached by the shared staircase and has no apartment above it.

What to know if you’re buying
A roof project is shared by only four residential interests. The top-floor position makes roof condition particularly relevant to that home, but the cooperative's allocation of roof and exterior work determines who pays. The small ownership group also has to organize insurance, repairs and capital decisions with limited participation available from other shareholders.

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.
