A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 189 Wallabout Street (Lee Gardens) 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.
189 Wallabout Street belongs to Lee Gardens, a condominium spread across a large Williamsburg block. The association's scale is much larger than this individual entrance: PLUTO records twenty-nine buildings on the condominium lot. Lee Gardens LLC established the condominium by a declaration dated September 15, 1998 and recorded that December.
The legal property extends along Lee Avenue, Lorimer Street, Marcy Avenue, Walton Street and Wallabout Street. Its residential interests have separate tax lots, while common elements belong to the condominium ownership collectively. Buying at this address therefore involves both the physical building containing the home and the wider association's obligations.
Architecture and unit composition
Lee Gardens is a low-rise complex dating to the late 1990s. The filed condominium floor plans were certified by Bricolage and recorded in December 1998.
The component at 189 Wallabout Street has four dwellings in recent DOB filings. Apartment areas at this address include approximately 1,570 and 2,170 square feet. Across the complex, homes use several street addresses and different entrance numbers, so a street-address search covers only part of the condominium's inventory.
Building operations
The condominium has a broad ownership base: the largest owner identified by DOF holds two of its 112 residential lots. A commercial interest is assessed separately in Class 4. The residential lots are in Class 2, and the current DOF record shows no building tax abatement.
Common-interest percentages govern contributions to shared expenses. A recorded legal notice for one Lee Gardens residence identifies a fractional interest in the common elements, illustrating that the condominium uses allocated ownership shares. Costs attributable to an individual building may also depend on the declaration's distinction between common and limited common elements.

What to know if you’re buying
Declared interests and building-specific costs. A buyer's unit designation, tax lot and common-interest share need to refer to the same recorded home. This matters in a complex whose legal inventory spans many buildings and whose expenses may include both site-wide work and work serving a particular entrance. The division of those costs is more useful than assuming all homes contribute equally to every project.

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.
