191–193 Luquer Street

The approved alteration retained four apartments in the existing four-story convent and added eight in two new sections. Mark Dixon was the architect of record for that work, which received DOB sign-off in 2007.

The development uses brick on the principal elevations, with large areas of glass in the newer construction. Setbacks keep the upper portions behind the street-facing walls. The older convent contributes retained masonry and interior details to a project otherwise shaped by contemporary additions.

Lower duplexes connect two internal levels to private garden areas. Single-level homes include compact two-bedroom layouts and plans with an additional office or dining alcove. The larger lower homes and the smaller upper apartments differ substantially in total interior area.

Terraces occur within the converted section as well as at the top of the new construction. Some open directly from living rooms, while upper homes have outdoor areas above the surrounding street wall. Their size and connection to the interior differ across the condominium.

Central air-conditioning and in-unit laundry appear across the apartment types.

The condominium brings the retained building and its additions under one ownership framework. All twelve residential lots are assessed in Tax Class 2. Common maintenance therefore covers structures from different construction periods, including the connections between the older and newer portions.

The original 421-a benefit has fully expired, with its final appearance on the 2023 roll. Current carrying costs should reflect the post-exemption tax position. Historical purchase budgets from the original sellout cover a different tax period.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 3-00470-7502; 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.

Identify which structure contains the apartment. The converted convent and the flanking additions belong to the same condominium, but an apartment's position determines which roof, exterior walls and connections affect it. For a proposed renovation, establish the structural limits of that part of the complex and the condominium's responsibility for the adjoining common elements.
