A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 2110 Frederick Douglass Boulevard 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.
Most of the Frederick Douglass Boulevard condominium stock went up in one wave, filed in the mid-2000s and delivered into the 2009–2011 market. 2110 is typical of that wave in size and form: nine stories, 38 residences, a commercial and community-facility base, and a small deeded garage. Its tax position is less typical, and it is the most important fact about the building.
The Department of Finance carries a 25-year 421-a exemption on all 53 unit lots — exemption code 5114, benefit start fiscal 2012, base year 2007 — and the fiscal 2027 roll still shows it at full benefit. On a typical residence the exempt value is about 96 percent of assessed value. At full benefit, the owner is taxed only on the pre-construction base. That is why tax bills here are a small fraction of what a comparable unexempted condominium pays, and why the building's carrying costs will rise sharply over the next decade.
The sponsor sold through quickly. UDC 114th Street LLC closed its first apartments in July 2010 and its last in May 2012, each to a separate buyer. No sponsor-held residential inventory remains, and every parking space is now in the hands of an individual owner, nearly all of them apartment owners in the building. The building has been owner-governed for more than a decade.
Architecture and unit composition
A nine-story building on a lot about 101 feet along the boulevard and 80 feet deep, with the community-facility and commercial units at the base, residences on floors two through nine, and a small garage. The residential layout is regular: a four-unit second floor, five-unit floors from three through eight on five stacked lines, and four penthouse units at the top.
The five lines are distinct products. On the Department of Finance roll the A line is about 1,184 square feet, the B line about 1,322, the C line about 1,240, the D line about 1,015 and the E line about 762. The penthouses range from about 834 to about 1,355 square feet. Pricing inside the building therefore turns first on line and then on floor. Bedroom counts, exposures and any private outdoor space are not documented in the records reviewed and should be confirmed from the floor plans.
The 13 parking spaces serve roughly one residence in three. Because each space is its own deeded lot, a space transfers only if it is deeded with the apartment or sold separately to another owner. It is not assigned by the board.
The community-facility unit and the commercial unit are separately owned by entities unrelated to the residential owners. Their common interest and expense allocation is set by the declaration and by-laws. Buyers should read it before underwriting common charges.
Building operations
The 421-a, with the years. Exemption code 5114, a 25-year term with benefits starting in fiscal 2012, active on every unit lot in the fiscal 2027 roll. Under the statute's 25-year schedule, the full exemption runs for 21 years and then steps down in 20-point increments over the last four. Counted from fiscal 2012, the first step-down arrives around fiscal 2033 and full taxes around fiscal 2037. Confirm the schedule for the specific lot with the Department of Finance. The exemption file does not state why this project received a 25-year term. HPD's affordable-housing production records list no affordable units at this address.
What it is worth, in dollars. At the fiscal 2027 assessments and a Class 2 rate of roughly 12.5 percent, the taxable base on a residence is a few thousand dollars of assessed value. That puts current tax bills at roughly $400 to $700 a year. Without the exemption, the same assessments would produce roughly $9,000 a year for an E-line residence and $15,000 to $16,000 for the largest units, before any assessment growth between now and the phase-out. These are our estimates from the roll, not bills. They show the scale of the change a buyer holding into the mid-2030s should underwrite.

Recent sales
The building is more than a decade into resale and trades in a steady trickle. ACRIS shows a handful of transfers most years, apartment and parking together. Pricing should be read against the new-construction condominium set on Frederick Douglass Boulevard and in South Harlem, not against brownstone and small-conversion inventory on the side streets. Within that set, the variables that move value here are line and floor, whether a parking space conveys, and the remaining term of the abatement. A buyer who compares monthly carrying costs across the corridor without checking each building's exemption file will reach the wrong conclusion. Unit-level transaction history is maintained in The Roebling Research Library and shared with clients during diligence.

Market read. Most recent trades (2026 to date) cleared a median $1,249/sf (floor-adjusted) across 1 sale. Floor-adjusted means each sale is restated to a constant mix of floors, so the figure can differ from the plain median of the sales listed above. Median listing discount 1.8% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy.

What to know if you’re buying
Underwrite the post-abatement tax, not today's. Today's bill is a few hundred dollars a year. At current assessments the unabated bill is roughly twenty times that. Run the True Monthly Carrying Cost Calculator on both, and on the year the step-down starts.
Pull the unit's own exemption schedule. The exempt amount is set lot by lot. Get the Department of Finance figures for the specific residence, not a summary.
Confirm whether a parking space conveys. Spaces are separate tax lots with their own deeds and tax bills. If one is part of the deal, it needs to appear in the contract, the title report and the transfer tax filing.
Read the commercial allocation. Two non-residential units owned by outside entities share the common elements. Their share of common expenses and their voting weight are in the declaration and by-laws.
Get the policy stack from the managing agent. No offering plan was located. Pets, leasing terms, any working-capital contribution and any resale fee all have to come from the managing agent and the governing documents.
What to know if you’re selling
State the tax position with dates. "Active 25-year 421-a, benefit start fiscal 2012, full benefit through about fiscal 2032" is more credible than "tax abated," and it holds up when a buyer's attorney checks it. Expect a buyer's discount to widen as the step-down approaches.
Sell the line. The B and C lines and the larger penthouses are the building's scarce product. Lead with square footage and floor.
If you own a space, decide early whether it goes with the apartment. Deeded parking is scarce on this corridor and can be priced separately.

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.
