179 Jackson Street

The 2010 sign-off lists 9,829 square feet of construction floor area, occupancy group J-2 and building class D1 for elevator apartments. City land-use records show 5,277 square feet of building area on a 3,925-square-foot lot. The two figures differ by a wide margin and the records do not explain it; check Schedule A for unit sizes.

Listing records describe an elevator building of six units. They give one penthouse a size of about 1,736 square feet and four bedrooms; unit sizes elsewhere in the building are not in the public record. The Department of Buildings new-system records return nothing for the lot, so there are no recent filings to read. The architect is not identified in the public filings we reviewed.

Per the New York State Attorney General's offering plan database (plan CD230190), the plan was submitted July 25, 2023, accepted April 4, 2024 and declared effective November 8, 2024, with 179 Jackson St. LLC as sponsor. It covers six residential units at a current total offering price of $7,048,000, an average of about $1,174,667 (our arithmetic), and the database counted one unit sold when it was last read. The Attorney General's detail page could not be retrieved for this plan, so the amendment history and the initial price were not reviewed. The database classes the construction as new, which does not match a building signed off in 2010; read the plan for the sponsor's explanation.

Recorded deeds, per ACRIS:

Three of six units are accounted for; we did not retrieve deeds for units 1, 3 and 4. The three deeds total $3,350,000. At a plan total of $7,048,000, the other three units would carry $3,698,000, about $1.23 million each (our arithmetic, assuming plan prices). The penthouse deed of $1,875,000 compares with a 2024 listing record that asked $2,250,000 for the same residence at about 1,736 square feet, a 17% reduction and about $1,080 per square foot at the deed price (our arithmetic; the square footage is from one listing record). Listing records also show a penthouse ask of $1,999,000 and common charges of $1,314 a month.

Recent sales

Recent closings at this building, from The Roebling Research Library. Prices are the transfer amounts recorded with the NYC Department of Finance; apartment-level detail is checked against the building’s own file in The Roebling Research Library before publishing.

Market read. Most recent trades (2025) cleared a median $1,109/sf (recorded) across 6 sales. Median listing discount 5.2% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 3-02745-7504; each condominium apartment is its own tax lot). Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified in The Roebling Research Library. Not all transactions cross-verify with ACRIS records — sponsor and LLC purchases sometimes record at stipulated values rather than market price; square footage from recorded condo declarations and offering plans.

Resale pricing. The recorded deeds are the building's only price evidence, and they span a 2.6-times range. Know which unit you are comparing against before using any of them.

Occupancy history. The plan is filed as new construction on a vacant basis, but the building was signed off in 2010. Ask what occupied it and whether any tenant rights attach to the remaining units.

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), plus the state mansion tax of 1% at $1 million and above. Use the calculators below to run your price.

Tax position. No tax abatement has been confirmed in this review. Confirm unit assessments with the managing agent.

Sponsor control. The sponsor controls the board until enough units close to turn it over. The by-laws set the threshold.
