About the building
231 President Street is a four-residence cooperative in a low-rise Carroll Gardens townhouse. The building retains the tall parlor level and rear outdoor areas characteristic of its residential form. Its small association manages the property directly, with shared laundry and storage in the basement.
The apartment mix includes two-bedroom homes with two bathrooms. Garden-level accommodation opens to a private rear garden, while parlor-floor accommodation has a private deck above it. Ceiling heights reach approximately 11 feet on the parlor level, where exposed brick and a fireplace remain. Rear bedrooms face the garden side of the property; the front living rooms look onto President Street.

What to know if you’re buying
Self-management is part of the ownership arrangement. With four residences, maintenance decisions and administration fall to a handful of shareholders. A purchase should establish which duties rotate among owners and how a vacancy on the board affects the building's ability to authorize repairs.

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.
