A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 232 Lee Avenue 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.
232 Lee Avenue is a nine-story condominium developed by enlarging an existing commercial building. Its thirteen residences sit within a mixed-use property that retains a separately owned commercial component. The original construction sequence is important: the current residential form grew out of an alteration project filed in 2002, with the completed building dated 2007 in city records.
Michael Even's DOB alteration filing described the addition of ten residential units and a proposed completed count of thirteen dwellings. The resulting condominium has a relatively tall structure for such a small association. Its fifteen-year development tax benefit has ended.
Architecture and unit composition
The apartment inventory changes with floor height. Larger recurring homes measure approximately 1,230 square feet, while several upper residences have recorded areas near 790 square feet. A smaller apartment is also part of the upper-level inventory. The building therefore has more variation than a uniform stack of identical floor-throughs.
Elevator access connects the nine floors. The commercial premises have their own tax lot, separate from the thirteen residential lots. The overall building spans the combined 232–234 Lee Avenue address, and its floor area exceeds the standard residential FAR shown for the current R6 district.
That zoning comparison describes the relationship between the existing building and present-day district rules. It does not, by itself, identify the approvals or development rights used to create the completed structure.
Building operations
Thirteen residential owners share the costs of a nine-story elevator building. The commercial component introduces a second use within the property, with its own Class 4 assessment. Residential taxes fall in Class 2.
The 421-a benefit began in 2007 and last appeared on the 2022 roll. Buyers comparing the current carrying cost with an older sale should use the post-abatement tax structure. The former program's “no cap” designation refers to that exemption program and is separate from the absence of an assessment-growth cap for Class 2.
DOB includes this property on its 2026 Local Law 97 covered-building list. That coverage makes the building's energy performance and applicable emissions obligations part of the association's operations, even with only thirteen residences.

The latest available filing classified the facade as SWARMP — Safe With A Repair and Maintenance Program: the inspector (QEWI) identified conditions requiring monitoring or repair, with repairs due by the deadline stated in the filing. The scope, timeline, and how the building funds the work are building-specific — we review the filings and board materials for you.
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.

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.
