A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 34–36 Eckford 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.
34–36 Eckford Street is two buildings sold as one condominium. Each six-story building has its own address, its own Department of Buildings job and its own stack of 12 apartments. The condominium, the board, the budget and the tax lot are shared. The name on the record, The Eckford & Engert Condominiums, reflects the corner: the parking faces Engert Avenue, and the house rules ask owners to park facing that way.
This is a long-hold sponsor's building. The same corporation owned the lot for seven years before it filed plans for the new buildings. Its 2002 plan to add floors to the old one-story building gave way in 2005 to demolition and new construction, filed weeks before the Greenpoint–Williamsburg rezoning was adopted that May. The apartments sold slowly through the downturn. The first closings came in June 2008 and the last sponsor residence closed in 2012. Every apartment went to a separate buyer, and roughly ten of the 13 parking spaces went to apartment buyers at or near their closings. The sponsor holds no apartments today, and the building passes the for-sale test.
For a buyer today, the key facts are the ones that came after the sellout. The 15-year 421-a exemption, New York's tax benefit for new residential construction, has fully expired. The board's house rules are specific: they set sublet terms, dog approval, roof hours and who may buy parking.
Architecture and unit composition
The plan is regular. Floors two through six of each building hold an A line and a B line, most of them about 915 square feet on the roll, so apartments on the upper floors differ mainly by height and exposure. The first-floor apartments are larger on the roll, about 1,380 to 1,570 square feet. That figure likely includes below-grade space and should be checked against the floor plans before it is priced as living area.
The 13 parking spaces are real property, not licenses. Each is its own tax lot with its own small assessment. The sponsor sold most of them with apartments at first closing. Three were conveyed out of sponsor hands in 2013 and resold separately in 2015. Under the house rules, a space can only be sold to someone who already owns or lives in the building, which keeps parking within the condominium but narrows the resale market for the space itself.
The roof has two kinds of space. The common roof is open to all residents on a schedule. Private roof areas belong to particular units, and other residents may not enter them. Whether a given top-floor apartment has one should be confirmed from the declaration and the unit's deed.
Building operations
Taxes are now unabated. The exemption roll records 421-a code 5113, the 15-year program, on all 37 lots, with a benefit start of 2008/09 and a base year of 2005. The benefit stepped down through the early 2020s and was zero on the 2023/24 roll. At 2026/27 taxable assessments and a Class 2 rate of about 12.5 percent, our estimate is roughly $9,300 to $10,600 a year for a 915-square-foot apartment and about $11,200 for the largest first-floor unit, plus roughly $950 a year for a parking space. These are estimates from the roll, not bills. Use the current bill for the unit.
The house rules are detailed. They set weekday-only moves with insurance certificates, a $150 fine for recycling and sustained-barking violations, $300,000 minimum liability coverage on each owner's policy, weekday construction hours, and board approval for roof planters, with engineer's load certification. Owners are responsible for plumbing inside their unit's walls. No audited financial statements are on file. Reserves, common charges and any capital plan should come from the managing agent.
Recent sales
This is a resale-only building, and turnover has been steady. Several apartments changed hands between mid-2024 and late 2025, across both addresses and a range of floors. Most floors repeat the same 915-square-foot plan, so what separates one sale from the next is floor height, exposure, roof access and whether a parking space conveys. Sales before 2023/24 were priced on an abated tax bill, and comparisons with them need that adjustment. Unit-level transaction history is maintained in The Roebling Research Library and shared with clients during diligence.

What to know if you’re buying
Underwrite full taxes. The abatement is over. Model the current bill plus common charges, and add the parking lot's taxes if you are buying a space.
Buy the parking space at the same closing. Parking can only be sold within the building. If a space conveys with the apartment, make sure the contract lists its lot number.
Read the sublet rules if you may rent later. Three consecutive years is allowed, then the board decides case by case, and nothing shorter than 180 days is permitted.
Plan for the dog rule. Cats are allowed as of right. A dog needs board approval before moving in.
What to know if you’re selling
Sell the space with the apartment. A deeded space is scarce in this part of Greenpoint, and because it can only go to an insider, it is worth more attached to your unit than sold later on its own.
Price against post-abatement sales. The best comparables are the same line's resales from 2024 onward, adjusted for floor.

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.
