A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 375 Lincoln Place 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.
375 Lincoln Place is a 1921 four-story apartment house on a 125-foot frontage. It is effectively a building of the late 1980s inside a 1921 shell, and that shapes everything about it.
The ownership record shows how it got there. Between 1976 and 1982 the property passed through a series of realty corporations. In 1983 ACRIS records a deed from the Commissioner of Finance to the City of New York, which is the form a tax foreclosure takes, and a vacate order dated December 1983. By January 1985 the building was in private hands again and was being sold. Linplace Associates acquired it in July 1986. DOF records an alteration in 1987, and the building was deeded to 375 Lincoln Place Owners Corp. in June 1988.
That sequence explains the building's amenities. A building vacated in 1983 had no tenants to protect, so the sponsor was free to rebuild it completely. The 1988 J-51 certification covers roughly $600,000 of work, which supports the listing-record description of an architect-renovated building. Four-story prewar buildings in Prospect Heights are usually walk-ups. This one has an elevator, a part-time doorman, laundry on every floor, a gym, a planted common roof deck, and apartments with private outdoor space. City data hasn't caught up: DOF still classes the lot C6, the code for a walk-up cooperative. Buyers and appraisers should rely on the building itself, not the class code.
The conversion is now almost forty years old. ACRIS shows ordinary resales between unrelated buyers and sellers across all four floors, from the start of the electronic share record in 2003 to 2026. No sponsor-entity sales appear in that period, so the sponsor's position looks settled. Confirm it with the managing agent.
Architecture and unit composition
From the street, 375 Lincoln Place is a long, low brick front of four stories, 125 feet wide and 84 feet deep. ACRIS apartment designations run from A through J on each floor, and one unit carries the suffix T. That points to a double-loaded plan: a central corridor with apartments on both sides, facing Lincoln Place and the rear yard. Listing records describe one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments, many with private outdoor space. DOB filings from 2010 onward include terrace repair along with roof and façade work.
Three counts are on the record: 39 units per DOF, 36 per most DOB filings and listing records, and 39 in a 2010 DOB filing. The simplest explanation is that apartments were combined after conversion and DOF was never updated. A pending 2026 filing to combine two fourth-floor apartments would lower the count again. The corporation's share ledger is the figure to rely on.
Building operations
Capital work. DOB filings show roof, façade and terrace repair in 2010. A 2015 filing covered a full roof replacement with new insulated roofing. Façade repair followed in 2018, with sidewalk sheds in 2010, 2014, 2017 and 2018 and a pipe scaffold in 2025. That is steady exterior maintenance, not a single large project. Ask whether any exterior work is currently open.
Underlying mortgage. The corporation has borrowed from a cooperative lender since 1998. It refinanced in 2005, 2013 and January 2022. The 2022 documents record a first mortgage in the low single-digit millions, plus a smaller companion loan that is probably a line of credit. Recorded figures are a starting point. Request the current balance, rate and maturity. Older listing records describe a small underlying mortgage taken for capital improvements and no assessments. That statement is undated, so confirm it.
J-51 history. J-51 is a city property-tax benefit for building rehabilitation. It combines an exemption, which keeps the added assessed value off the tax bill, with an abatement, a credit of part of the certified cost against taxes. DOF records three J-51 grants on this lot:
- 1974: A 12-year, 75 percent grant on a very small certified cost. Long since expired.
- 1988 (the conversion rehabilitation): A 90 percent abatement on about $607,400 of certified cost, with an exemption that phased out by the 2001 tax year. Abatement credits ran through the mid-2000s. Expired.
- 2013: A 90 percent abatement on $72,281 of certified cost, credited at about $6,023 a year. DOF's abatement roll shows it still active in the 2024 tax year. On DOF's own remaining-balance figures, the credit runs out around the 2024–25 tax year, and it cannot run past its 14-year maximum term, which ends in 2027. Across the building it amounts to well under $200 per apartment per year, so its expiry has little effect on maintenance.
Policy framework
- Pets: Cats only, per listing records.
- Subletting: Permitted, per listing records. Term limits and fees must come from the managing agent.
- Financing: Listing records give 10 percent and 20 percent minimum down. Treat 20 percent as the working assumption until the managing agent confirms otherwise.
- Guarantors: Allowed, per listing records.
- Flip tax: A transfer fee exists, per listing records. Get the amount and who pays it in writing before contract.
- Pied-à-terre, trust/LLC purchases, washer/dryer installation: Not documented. They must come from the managing agent.
- Landmarks: None applies.
Recent sales
375 Lincoln Place competes with the Prospect Heights prewar elevator co-ops, not the walk-ups its class code would suggest. Co-ops there are priced per room, and apartments with private outdoor space sell at a clear premium over those without. ACRIS shows steady resale activity to 2026 at a pace typical for a building of this size. Through 2025 the building's range was set by the larger renovated apartments, especially those with terraces, while compact interior lines traded at the neighborhood's entry level for elevator co-ops. Unit-level transaction history is maintained in The Roebling Research Library and shared with clients during diligence.

What to know if you’re buying
Settle the unit and share count first. DOF says 39 and DOB and listing records say 36, and a combination is pending. Your attorney should confirm the share allocation for your specific apartment.
Confirm the minimum down payment. A 10 percent minimum is rare among Brooklyn co-ops and would matter to your financing. It has been reported alongside 20 percent. Get the current figure from the managing agent before you plan financing around it.
Price the transfer fee. A flip tax is reported but its amount is not. It is part of your eventual exit cost.
No dogs. Listing records say cats only. If you have a dog, confirm the policy before you do anything else.
Don't count on J-51 savings. The remaining benefit is small and ends soon. Underwrite maintenance from the current tax bill and budget.
Expect a standard board package and interview. Plan on full financial disclosure. This is a corporation of 36 to 39 apartments.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with what a four-story building rarely has. An elevator, a part-time doorman, laundry on every floor, a gym and a common roof deck set this building apart from the neighborhood's walk-ups. Say so.
Market the outdoor space by apartment. Private outdoor space is the building's premium feature. If your apartment has it, measure and photograph it. If it doesn't, the common roof deck is the answer to that question.
Correct the class code before the appraiser relies on it. DOF's C6 walk-up classification can mislead a lender's appraiser. Give them the building's elevator and service details up front.

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.
