A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 269 Clinton 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.
269 Clinton Avenue occupies one half of a pair of broad, semi-detached mansions. The house's tower, projecting bays and mansard roof preserve the scale of Clinton Avenue's nineteenth-century private houses. Its cooperative apartments range from compact studios to larger duplex layouts, with a shared garden behind the building.
LPC dates the house to the 1870s, possibly 1878 or earlier; PLUTO carries 1879. The house was divided into apartments in the mid-twentieth century; its front stoop was removed in 1948 during that transformation. The altered entrance is part of a building whose residential use has changed substantially while its mansion form remains legible.
Architecture and unit composition
The original house was approximately forty feet wide and fifty feet deep. Its facade combines projecting bays with stone window surrounds and a steep upper roof. A tower anchors one side of the composition. The breadth of the house allows more varied apartment shapes than a narrow row house subdivision.
Studios and one-bedroom homes occupy portions of the former house, while duplexes connect levels. Surviving interior details include marble mantels and substantial moldings. The larger apartments and the smallest studios have different proportions; the former mansion does not produce a single repeated floor plan.
Building operations
Laundry and bicycle storage support an eleven-residence cooperative in a walk-up structure. Its common property includes the mansion's roof and ornamental exterior as well as the landscaped rear space.
The Clinton Hill Historic District designation covers the property. Changes to the mansard roof, tower, facade and exterior windows require attention to the historic building's materials and detailing. The roof's form is more complex than a simple flat-roof apartment house, an important distinction when the corporation plans exterior work.

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.
