About the building
238 Carroll Street is a 25-foot-wide brownstone opposite Carroll Park, converted into three condominiums in 2015. It stands on the block between Court and Smith Streets, with its principal street-facing rooms overlooking the park. The building retains a townhouse exterior and operates as a small walk-up condominium. Its existing floor area exceeds the residential density now permitted by R6B zoning.
The three homes divide the house into a lower triplex, a middle floor-through and an upper duplex. Private outdoor areas accompany the multilevel homes, including garden space below and terraces above. The conversion created substantially unequal apartment sizes: the middle floor-through occupies one level, while the lower and upper homes extend over several floors. In-home laundry and fireplaces are among the residential features.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 3-00449-7503) and verified listing data. Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified by The Roebling Team research desk. 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.

What to know if you’re buying
Three residences sharing one brownstone. A roof or façade project is funded by a very small association, and the homes differ considerably in size. The declaration's common-interest percentages determine expense allocation; they should not be assumed to be equal thirds. Three-owner condominiums can also receive additional scrutiny during a lender's project review.

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.
