30 Ocean Parkway

The building's broad footprint allows apartments to occupy different relationships to the street, garden and interior courts. Corner homes can have windows in several directions. Lower floors may look toward planting or the garden, while upper-floor windows can extend over neighboring roofs.

Large foyers occur in portions of the inventory, distributing circulation between the living room, kitchen and bedrooms. In larger plans, that entry space can accommodate furniture and serve a function beyond passage. A compact apartment may devote a smaller proportion of its area to the entrance and place more of the usable space in the principal room.

Period features include arched openings, parquet floors, coved ceilings and built-in niches in some homes. These details can survive alongside renovated kitchens and bathrooms. The pattern of preservation varies with each apartment's alteration history; the building's Art Deco character is most consistently visible in its exterior and common interiors.

The two- and three-bedroom inventory includes eat-in kitchens and homes with more than one bathroom. Some plans place bedrooms away from the living room through a separate hall. Others use rooms opening from a central foyer, allowing several parts of the apartment to be reached without passing through another room.

Windowed kitchens and bathrooms occur across the larger layouts. Multiple exposures can bring daylight to rooms beyond the living area, but the outlook differs between a window facing open space and one facing a neighboring wall. A corner designation identifies position, not a uniform view.

Combined apartments also appear in the resale history. They can provide larger living areas or additional rooms, while retaining elements of two earlier plans. Their layout and circulation should be compared with other combined homes or similarly sized original apartments, not assumed to match a standard line elsewhere in the building.

A resident superintendent supports the building's daily maintenance, with elevator service connecting the six floors. Central laundry, a gym, bicycle storage and additional storage are shared facilities. Some storage is available separately for a fee, and availability is distinct from the purchase of cooperative shares.

The landscaped garden is a common amenity. The property also has a composting area, giving the outdoor space a practical role beyond seating and planting. Garden-facing apartments relate closely to this shared setting, while upper and street-facing homes can have different immediate surroundings.

The cooperative's monthly maintenance combines its operating obligations and real estate tax costs. DOF classifies the property as class 2, and no building-level abatement is identified. The absence of a temporary tax benefit means a current purchase is not premised on an advertised new-development exemption term.

The building is not landmark-designated. Its present density is slightly above the residential FAR shown for its zoning, which spans two districts. These are separate facts: preservation designation concerns exterior review, while FAR concerns the amount of floor area on the lot.

Market read. $/sf is measured on the latest sales with reliable square footage (2024): a median $942/sf (floor-adjusted) across 1 sale. The building has traded as recently as 2026. Median listing discount 0.0% from the last ask.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 3-05286-0001). Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified in The Roebling Research Library. Not all transactions cross-verify with ACRIS records — sponsor and LLC purchases sometimes record at stipulated values rather than market price; square footage on co-ops is not officially recorded, figures shown are approximate.

Sponsor and ordinary resales can have different approval routes. A sponsor-owned one-bedroom has recently been offered alongside ordinary cooperative resales. Any exemption from the usual board purchase process belongs to that particular sponsor transaction; it should not be assumed to apply to another apartment in the building.
