A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at The Montauk 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.
The Montauk is a limestone-and-brick Beaux-Arts apartment house on the corner of Prospect Park West and 14th Street. Its four-story height and corner position give it a different scale from the taller apartment houses along the park. Some residences face the park, while others look along the side street or toward the rear of the property.
The building dates to 1901 in the LPC designation history. It became part of the Park Slope Historic District in 1973 and now trades as a cooperative. Its decorative exterior remains a defining feature of the ownership property, with landmark oversight applying to changes to the protected building fabric.
Architecture and unit composition
The apartments include compact one-bedroom layouts and larger homes with additional living space. Documented interiors retain high ceilings, wood floors and period moldings. Windowed kitchens appear in several layouts, while corner homes can have more than one exposure.
The ground-level inventory includes a larger residence with its own entrance and patio. Upper apartments depend on the common stairway, and rear-facing homes have a different outlook from those facing Prospect Park. The building's four-story count should therefore be read alongside the actual entrance level and route to the apartment.
The shared roof is reached from the main stairs. Basement space accommodates laundry, storage and mounted bicycle racks, with street-level access to that service area. In-unit laundry exists in some homes, but the common laundry provides a separate building facility.
Building operations
The cooperative is professionally managed. Its shared facilities are concentrated in the roof and basement, and circulation is by stairs. A current apartment purchase includes participation in the maintenance of the limestone-and-brick exterior as well as these common spaces.
Public sponsor information has identified seven apartments managed for the sponsor within a sixteen-unit description of the property. That historical information establishes a retained rental component, without showing a majority of apartments. The current sponsor share and occupancy schedule are relevant to the cooperative's financing and voting arrangements.

The retrade record
Lines that have traded more than once in the public record — the building’s appreciation arc, apartment by apartment.
Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 3-01101-0046). 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 on co-ops is not officially recorded, figures shown are approximate.

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.
