About the building
162 Douglass Street is a two-residence condominium in a roughly nineteen-foot-wide Boerum Hill townhouse. The original building dates to 1901 in PLUTO. An alteration designed by architect David Turner received DOB sign-off in October 2011, with two dwellings and three principal stories. Its individual condominium lots are in Tax Class 1C, retaining the assessment-growth limits applicable to small residential properties.
The building is divided into a garden triplex and an upper duplex, both with three-bedroom configurations and two-and-a-half bathrooms. The upper home extends across two floors and has a large private roof deck reached by an internal stair. The garden home occupies three levels, including lower-level space. Laundry is within the residences, and the two outdoor areas sit at opposite ends of the building's vertical plan.

What to know if you’re buying
Two owners and a privately used roof. The upper home's deck makes responsibility for the roof membrane and deck removal a consequential part of the ownership arrangement. With only two residences, a major repair or disputed expense cannot be spread across a broad board. The condominium's voting and cost-allocation provisions matter alongside the lender's willingness to finance a two-home project.

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.
