A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 262 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.
262 Skillman Street is an eight-story condominium building developed during the neighborhood's mid-2000s construction wave. Its sixteen apartments form half of a thirty-two-home condominium. Robert Scarano Jr. is the architect of record on the new-building filing.
The development grew from a vacant-land acquisition in February 2003. Rosma Development, LLC and Deluxe Development, Inc. obtained permits for eight-story construction in early 2004. DOB records the permit for this building in March 2004 and final signoff in December 2006.
Architecture and unit composition
The building combines a small apartment count with eight residential stories and elevator access. The legal building scale is sixteen residences; the thirty-two-home figure describes the condominium across its two buildings.
Two recorded transfers at this entrance involve apartments of approximately 1,254 square feet on upper floors. Those transactions show larger apartments exist in the building, but they don't reflect the full range of bedroom counts or layouts.
The condominium's built floor-area ratio is more than twice the residential allowance recorded for its current R6B zoning. Its eight-story form reflects the development approvals and construction history of the 2000s. That established structure is materially larger than the present zoning's floor-area allowance alone would suggest.
Building operations
The thirty-two residential tax lots are held within one condominium, and all are in tax class 2. The largest single owner holds two residences, approximately 6% of the total. The ownership base is therefore dispersed across the condominium.
The development continues to receive its twenty-five-year 421-a exemption on the 2027 assessment roll. The benefit began in 2008 under the no-cap program. That exemption remains a specific carrying-cost feature of this condominium as it moves through the later years of the benefit term.

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.
