A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 361 Clinton 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.
361 Clinton Street is a 15-unit, three-story condominium built from the ground up in the mid-1980s, with its declaration recorded in 1987. Many condominiums nearby are either converted townhouses and lofts or buildings from after 2005. This one was purpose-built as a condominium nearly forty years ago, and it is still the same fifteen tax lots it was declared as.
The block matters as much as the building. The house sits on Clinton Street just south of Degraw Street, the line between Carroll Gardens and Cobble Hill. The Cobble Hill Historic District reaches the opposite side of Clinton Street; this block is outside it. Exterior work here goes through the Department of Buildings only, not LPC.
The building is three stories of five apartments each on a 60-foot lot, and the top-floor units come with private roof garden areas.
Architecture and unit composition
The plan organizes the building in five lines, A through E, repeated on each of three floors, with two stairs, a vestibule entry and quarry-tile public corridors. The Second Amendment records the sponsor's changes to materials during construction: copper coping on the corbelled walls at the roof in place of anodized aluminum, wood windows, and quarry tile instead of carpet and marble in the corridors and entrance. The plan provided fireplaces in some apartments; the same amendment removed the one planned for unit 1D.
Unit sizes run from about 730 to about 1,960 square feet on the Department of Finance roll. The larger units are on the third floor. The Second Amendment's Schedule A says the square footage of those units includes the roof garden area restricted to each unit. Read any third-floor size with that in mind: part of the stated footage is outdoor space.
The plan's Schedule B-1 projected each owner's own gas cost for heating, hot water and cooking, and electric cost for air conditioning, apartment by apartment. That points to heating equipment at the apartment level rather than a central boiler. Confirm the current setup with the managing agent before you budget.
PLUTO note. PLUTO reports 20,760 square feet of building area on a 5,400-square-foot lot. That is the plan's total unit square footage, roof gardens included, not the enclosed floor area. The implied density overstates the building.
Building operations
This is a small condominium with no staff documented in the materials on file. Common charges pay for common-area operation and insurance, and each owner pays real estate taxes on the unit directly. The Board of Managers controls the building. The sponsor's control rights under the plan ended decades ago.
Before contract, get the current budget, the reserve balance, any assessment history, and the dates of the last roof and façade work. In a three-story building the roof is a major item, and here parts of it are private garden areas.
Policy framework
- Right of first refusal on sales and leases, per Article XI of the by-laws as amended by the Second Amendment. An owner who accepts a bona fide offer to sell or lease must first offer the unit to the Board on the same terms. The Board has ten days to elect. Buying or leasing the unit requires the affirmative vote of 80 percent of all unit owners, and the cost is then assessed to the other owners. If the Board declines, the owner has 60 days to close with that buyer or tenant. It adds a step and time to every sale and lease.
- Leases made after the Board declines must be consistent with the declaration and by-laws, and cannot be modified, extended, assigned or sublet without the Board's written consent.
- Not documented: pet rules, minimum lease term, pied-à-terre use, purchases by trusts or LLCs, and any transfer fee. All should come from the managing agent.
Recent sales

What to know if you’re buying
Do not count on a tax abatement. Nothing is left of the original 421-a exemption, and the roll shows no building program today. Taxes are at full assessment. Primary residents should check eligibility for the city's co-op and condominium abatement.
Separate indoor from outdoor square footage. On the third floor, the stated size includes the roof garden. Ask for the enclosed interior area.
Build the right of first refusal into your timeline. Your contract has to go to the Board, which then has ten days to elect. Allow for it.
Ask about the roof. Waterproofing under private roof gardens is a common source of disputes over who pays. Get the by-laws' allocation of repair responsibility.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the block and the scale. It is fifteen units on Clinton Street at the Cobble Hill line, with no landmarks review for exterior work.
Have the Board's waiver process ready. Deliver the offer notice promptly and ask for the Board's written waiver so the buyer's lender and attorney are not held up.

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.
