A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at The Riverview 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.
About the building
The Riverview is a seven-story apartment building converted to seven condominium residences. The conversion reduced the earlier thirteen-apartment configuration to a much smaller inventory, with Jeffrey Cole as architect of record on the signed-off alteration. The Attorney General accepted the condominium offering in October 2013, and it became effective that December. Individual apartment closings followed in 2014.
The residences include full-floor three-bedroom layouts of roughly 1,700 square feet, with elevator access and private storage. The building's position on Columbia Heights places its upper floors along the western edge of Brooklyn Heights, where exposure and floor height determine the extent of river and skyline views. A virtual doorman provides entry service. The Beaux-Arts exterior retains the proportions of an early apartment house within the designated historic district.

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.
See full Local Law 97 analysis →Facade safety — Local Law 11
The latest available FISP filing classified the facade as Safe — no repairs were required at that inspection. A filed Safe grade is not a guarantee of current condition: owners still maintain the facade and, where required, observe parapets each year. Future inspection timing (Local Law 49 of 2025 changed the cycle framework from October 1, 2026), repair and any assessment decisions remain building-specific.
How to read this, and where it comes from
QEWI = Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector — a licensed professional engineer or registered architect who meets DOB’s FISP qualifications and signs the report (the independent expert, not the managing agent).

The retrade record
Lines that have traded more than once in the public record — the building’s appreciation arc, apartment by apartment.
Full closing history with price-per-square-foot over time, the complete retrade record, and every line that has traded.
Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 3-00234-7502; 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.

What to know if you’re buying
Window replacement has a building-wide preservation component. A master plan for future window replacements came before LPC in March 2026. For a purchase involving window work, confirm whether the intended design falls within the resulting approval and who pays for it — the hearing application alone doesn't authorize a particular replacement.

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.
