153 Green Street

The design has at most two apartments per floor. Floors one to four carry A and B lines, and two duplex penthouses, 6A and 6B, fill the top of the building. Department of Finance records put the four lines on floors two to four at roughly 1,050 to 1,160 square feet each. The two ground-floor units run about 1,680 and 1,790 square feet including their cellar accessory space. The penthouses run about 2,120 and 2,280 square feet. The offering plan warns that its square footages are measured to exterior walls and partition centerlines, so the livable area is smaller than the listed figure. It also notes that the cellar space attached to 1A and 1B cannot legally be used for sleeping or dining.

Outdoor space is unusually generous for a ten-unit building. The plan allocates limited common elements (outdoor areas reserved for one unit's use) as follows:

• 1A and 1B: a portion of the rear yard and areaway each
• 2B, 3A and 4B: one terrace each
• 2A, 3B and 4A: two terraces each
• 6A: four terraces
• 6B: five terraces

Every owner can also use the common roof terrace, which is listed on the certificate of occupancy with elevator access. Listing records describe floor-to-ceiling windows, glass balconies, white oak floors and central HVAC. The plan confirms the all-electric systems.

The plan put management with the sponsor for the first year and gave the sponsor control of the board for up to five years from the first closing, or until it owned less than 25 percent of the units. On the 2026/27 Department of Finance roll the sponsor entity holds none of the ten units, so that control test has been met.

The site is a City-designated hazardous-materials (E-designated) lot. Development ran under a remedial action work plan approved by the Mayor's Office of Environmental Remediation (OER project 18EHAZ023K, Voluntary Cleanup Program 19CVCP0011K). The plan states that remediation was completed. A site management plan governs any remaining contamination, and the land-use restrictions include:

• no vegetable gardening
• no use of groundwater without treatment
• no disturbance of residual material outside that plan

No remediation systems were installed and no inspections are ongoing, per the plan.

The plan's budget had no contingency line. With ten owners splitting all costs, a single roof or façade item is a meaningful assessment; ask for the current budget, reserves and assessment history.

Recent sales

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 3-02512-7504) and verified listing data. Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified by The Roebling Team research desk. Not all transactions cross-verify with ACRIS records — sponsor and LLC purchases sometimes record at stipulated values rather than market price.

No abatement to burn off. Taxes on the current bill are the full taxes. That makes carrying costs simpler to underwrite than at many 2010s Greenpoint condominiums, which are still stepping up out of 421-a.

Read the site management plan. The environmental restrictions run with the land. They matter most to the ground-floor units with yards, and to anyone planning to plant or dig.

Check owner occupancy before you pick a lender. Four of ten units sit with entities that received them from the sponsor for no recorded consideration, and some are rented. Lenders look at owner-occupancy and single-entity concentration. Get the condominium questionnaire early.

Measure the space. The plan's square footages include wall thickness, and 1A and 1B include cellar space that cannot legally be used as habitable rooms.

Lead with the outdoor space and the tax position. Every unit has private outdoor space, the penthouses have four or five terraces each, and there is no abatement step-up ahead. Have the budget, reserves, site management plan and questionnaire ready up front.
