A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 166 Washington Avenue would likely sell for today, what it costs to sell, and what you’d walk away with — reviewed personally against condition, exposures, renovation quality, and the competition actually on the market.
166 Washington Avenue is a seven-residence condominium made from a two-story, two-family house on a 25-by-100-foot lot. The Department of Buildings filed the work as a new building with existing elements to remain: the house was raised to four stories plus a penthouse level and 50 feet, and converted to seven homes. The first permit issued in November 2022, and the structural work was signed off in August 2025.
The homes are small for the price band. Listed floor areas run from about 734 square feet for a one-bedroom to about 1,135 square feet for a two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath home, and the three priced closings so far sit between $860,000 and $995,000.
Architecture and residences
Listing records describe mostly one-bedroom homes of about 734 to 745 square feet (2A, 2B, 3A and 4B, the last with a private balcony) and a two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath home of about 1,135 square feet (4A). The sponsor's materials describe marble kitchen counters, Bosch and Bertazzoni appliances with vented hoods and gas cooktops, white oak floors, multi-zone heating and cooling, double-pane windows, in-unit laundry, a video intercom and a building roof deck. The building is a walk-up. Common charges were listed at $363 to $413 a month for the one-bedrooms and about $644 for the two-bedroom. The lot is split between R6B and R7A zoning with a C2-4 commercial overlay.
Offering and pricing
Per the offering plan filed with the New York State Attorney General (plan CD240244), the plan was submitted August 19, 2024, accepted January 13, 2025 and declared effective April 1, 2025, with Lian 166 Washington LLC as sponsor and seven residential units. The offering is filed as a rehabilitation. The initial total offering price was $9,200,000; the current figure is $9,185,000, an average of about $1,312,000 per home. The amendments were not reviewed for this page because the Attorney General's plan record did not load. The database records two units sold.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 3-01889-7503; each condominium apartment is its own tax lot).

What to know if you’re buying
The plan is effective. Contracts are binding under the plan's terms. Read the latest amendment for current prices and any concessions.
Price against the closings. The one-bedroom closings with known areas, 4B at about $1,348 per square foot and 2B at about $1,172, are the best evidence of where sponsor homes trade (our arithmetic). Compare any ask with those two.
Converted house. The building keeps part of the original structure. Ask for the final certificate of occupancy and any open Department of Buildings items.
Closing costs. In sponsor sales the buyer customarily pays the New York State transfer tax (0.4%) and the New York City real property transfer tax (1.425% above $500,000). Homes under $1 million avoid the mansion tax.
Small building. Seven owners will share the costs of the roof, facade and systems. Ask for the budget and the reserve fund.

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.
