A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 185–187 13th Street 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.

185–187 13th Street is a fourteen-residence condominium spread across two four-story buildings. Its small one-bedroom apartments sit alongside lower-level duplex and triplex configurations, creating a wide range of floor areas within a low-rise development. The site lies between Third and Fourth avenues on Gowanus's eastern edge.

The Attorney General accepted the condominium offering in May 2009 under 13th Street Development LLC. The filing identifies fourteen residential units across the combined addresses, while DOB's applications for the 187 building specify seven dwellings.

Architecture and unit composition

The standard compact layouts are approximately 614–624 square feet. Larger lower homes include duplex and triplex arrangements, with total areas around 1,177–1,448 square feet. Some of that additional area is recreation space on a separate level.

Upper-floor accommodation includes one-bedroom homes with private outdoor areas. At the base, multilevel layouts provide more interior room and a different connection between living, sleeping and recreation spaces. The condominium contains examples with Juliet balconies as well as usable outdoor space.

The new-building applications span 2005–2007, with Sandor Weiss and Ramy Issac named in the architectural filings for 187. Four-story construction keeps the buildings within the scale of the adjoining low-rise street frontage.

Building operations

The fourteen residences have separate Class 2 tax lots. The largest recorded holder owns one apartment, showing dispersed residential ownership across the two buildings.

The fifteen-year 421-a benefit began in 2012 and is no longer active on the 2027 roll. The condominium is consequently entering its post-abatement carrying-cost period.

Video intercom, in-home laundry and central heating and cooling are present in the apartment inventory. The association covers both street addresses, even though each entrance serves only part of the residential count.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 3-01027-7502) and verified listing data.

What to know if you’re buying

The larger lower homes include recreation space. Their total area can span three levels, including rooms below the principal living floors. That extra level should be described by its approved use; a recreation room does not become a legal bedroom through furniture placement.

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.
