About the building
161 Jackson Street is a four-residence condominium completed in 2014. DOB signed off the new-building job that May, with engineer Reza Khamcy named as its design applicant. The Attorney General had accepted the four-residence condominium filing in November 2013; it became effective in August 2014.
The layout mix includes a three-bedroom duplex with two outdoor areas and upper-floor two-bedroom accommodation with a private roof terrace. Large windows and high ceilings define the upper living spaces.
Local Law 97
This building is below the 25,000 sq ft threshold at which LL97 limits apply to a building on its own. It is still covered if it shares a tax lot or condominium board with buildings totaling over 50,000 sq ft; confirm on DOB’s covered-buildings list.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 3-02745-7501; each condominium apartment is its own tax lot).

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.
