About the building
157 Prospect Park West is a four-residence brick-and-limestone cooperative directly opposite Prospect Park. Frank Holmberg designed the building for builder-developer Christian Doenecke at the end of the nineteenth century. Its classical architecture with Romanesque Revival details belongs to the period when the park's western edge filled with substantial masonry residences. The park frontage gives the front rooms a treetop outlook across the avenue.
The apartments include three-bedroom floor-through layouts with high ceilings, bay-window living areas, original woodwork and fireplaces. Rear rooms extend toward the interior of the block. A shared roof deck overlooks the park, and the basement provides bicycle and general storage. In-home laundry is present in some residences. Access is by stairs.

The retrade record

Full closing history with price-per-square-foot over time, the complete retrade record, and every line that has traded.
Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 3-01095-0046) 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; square footage on co-ops is not officially recorded, figures shown are approximate.

What to know if you’re buying
Shared roof, small cooperative. Deck upkeep and the roof membrane belong in the same repair discussion: the four residences bear the building's capital costs, and access for roof work can interrupt use of the common deck. The proprietary lease and house rules should establish responsibility for removing and reinstalling deck surfaces during repairs.

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.
