About the building
159 Garfield Place is a four-story apartment building converted to condominium ownership through a non-eviction offering in 2006. The Attorney General accepted the offering in April, and it became effective that August. The eight-residence condominium retains a walk-up arrangement, with the homes accessed from a common stair.
The inventory includes railroad-style two-bedroom layouts and a larger garden duplex. In the single-level homes, rooms extend through the depth of the building, with street-facing living areas and bedrooms farther inside the plan. Upper-floor apartments generally occupy substantially less space than the garden duplex, which combines two interior levels and private outdoor space. Selected homes include in-home laundry and updated heating and cooling equipment.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 3-00963-7502) and verified listing data. Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified by The Roebling Team research desk.

What to know if you’re buying
The non-eviction conversion began with occupied apartments. The original offering included regulated tenancies, and the Attorney General's later filing identifies a board no longer controlled by the sponsor. A purchase of a vacant resale home should be evaluated within that occupied-conversion structure: the condominium's current ownership and occupancy mix can affect project financing even when the apartment itself transfers at market terms.

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.
