About the building
165 Elizabeth Street is a small condominium on the stretch of Elizabeth Street between Kenmare and Spring. The prewar structure dates to 1900 in city records and has individual condominium ownership documented well before the recent sales cycle. Its residential entrance leads to a walk-up building, with front and rear apartment positions. The property is outside a designated historic district.
The homes range from compact single-level apartments to upper duplexes with internal staircases. Some retain exposed brick. Upper configurations include private balconies or terraces, and renovated homes have incorporated central air and washer-dryers. Room counts and interior area vary substantially; outdoor space belongs to particular apartments and is not a building-wide amenity. Access to the upper duplexes involves both the common staircase and the stairs within the home.

What to know if you’re buying
Outdoor areas add a separate ownership question. For a duplex with a terrace or balcony, the condominium's allocation of waterproofing, structural repairs and surface maintenance determines which work falls to the apartment and which is shared. A small association has relatively few owners available to fund any common portion of that work.

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.
