A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 222 Skillman 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.
222 Skillman Street is a nine-story, 67-residence condominium with elevator access and a substantial inventory of apartments over 1,000 square feet. Its larger lower-level homes and smaller upper-level layouts create a size pattern that differs from buildings where the biggest residences are concentrated at the top. The property dates to 2003 in city records, with individual apartment sales recorded by 2007.
The long 421-a term remains part of the ownership economics. The 25-year benefit began in 2007 and remains active on the 2027 roll, placing this building at a different stage of its tax-benefit life from nearby developments with shorter programs. Owners have a defined benefit history to account for in their carrying-cost planning.
Residential ownership is dispersed. The largest owner holds three of the 67 apartments, about 4% of the inventory, and DOF classifies all 67 condominium lots as residential Class 2. The association's scale is substantial for a side-street condominium in this part of Bedford-Stuyvesant.
Architecture and unit composition
The recorded apartment areas fall into several recognizable groups. Many middle-floor homes are around 1,200 to 1,240 square feet. Smaller upper-floor homes are commonly around 900 square feet, with some apartments closer to 800 square feet. Larger lower-level residences have recorded areas between approximately 1,500 and 1,900 square feet.
Those areas describe distinct inventory categories across the nine floors. A higher-floor apartment can be smaller than a residence several floors below it. The building's largest recorded lower-level homes have traded independently over time, so their scale is an established part of the condominium's sales history.
The elevator serves an ownership building of materially greater height than the nearby low-rise housing stock. Its nine floors and 67 residences also make the common equipment a shared responsibility across a comparatively large association. Apartment interiors have passed through multiple ownership cycles since the original sales period.
Building operations
The tax structure consists entirely of Class 2 residential condominium lots on the current roll. Individual owners receive their own property-tax assessments in addition to paying common charges. The 421-a exemption applies through the property's established program and is distinct from the association's operating costs.
The 25-year term began in 2007. Its continued presence on the 2027 roll does not mean that the benefit remains unchanged throughout the entire term; an apartment's current exemption amount and remaining phaseout schedule determine the effect on its tax bill. Earlier closings can reflect a different stage of the program.
The recorded built floor area is above the current R6B residential allowance. That is a description of the existing property and current zoning, not evidence that owners can add more floor area. The existing larger lower-level interiors are part of the resale inventory; potential enlargement is a separate approval question.

The latest available FISP filing classified the facade as Safe — no repairs were required at that inspection. A filed Safe grade is not a guarantee of current condition: owners still maintain the facade and, where required, observe parapets each year. Future inspection timing (Local Law 49 of 2025 changed the cycle framework from October 1, 2026), repair and any assessment decisions remain building-specific.
How to read this, and where it comes from
QEWI = Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector — a licensed professional engineer or registered architect who meets DOB’s FISP qualifications and signs the report (the independent expert, not the managing agent).
Penalties shown are amounts DOB assessed against filings on record across 2015–20 to 2020–25. The FISP dataset does not record whether they were paid, contested or remain open, so treat the figure as history rather than a current balance and confirm the building’s standing with the managing agent.

Market read. Most recent trades (2026 to date) cleared a median $806/sf (floor-adjusted) across 2 sales. 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.

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.
