About the building
298 Elizabeth Street was built in 1902 as a factory for George J. Stier, designed by William Kurtzer. Its brick Romanesque Revival façade has four window bays, continuous granite sill and lintel bands, terra-cotta ornament and decorative brick panels. Round arches mark the top-floor windows, and a corbelled brick parapet finishes the roofline. The building now contains four condominium residences above a separately owned commercial ground floor.
The upper homes occupy loft floor plates of approximately 1,400 square feet. Open living areas, tall ceilings and adaptable bedroom partitions reflect the former factory arrangement. The penthouse has multiple exposures and a private roof terrace reached by an internal spiral stair. The building is a five-story walk-up; the intercom controls entry, and there is no passenger elevator.

What to know if you’re buying
The roof terrace belongs to the penthouse, while the roof structure also protects the apartments below. In this four-home condominium, the distinction between the terrace owner’s maintenance obligations and the association’s roof responsibilities is a significant cost-allocation point. The commercial interest at the base adds another party to common-building decisions.

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.
