A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 38 Meserole 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.
38 Meserole Street fits an elevator, gym, storage, bicycle facilities and garage into a five-story condominium with 14 residences. Its apartments range from compact homes to larger two-bedroom layouts, and private outdoor spaces include broad terraces as well as balconies. A communal rooftop adds outdoor space shared by the building.
Scarano & Associates' project account identifies the building as one of the firm's completed Williamsburg developments. PLUTO dates it to 2008; the new-building job was signed off in July 2009. The residential count is 14; the property's other condominium lots include separately assessed nonresidential interests.
Architecture and unit composition
Large windows and open living areas recur in the apartment layouts. The smaller recorded homes measure approximately 530–670 square feet, while larger residences approach 1,000 square feet and a top-floor home measures about 1,070 square feet. Studios, one-bedrooms and two-bedrooms appear in the inventory.
Outdoor space is distributed unevenly. Some lower-floor homes open to expansive terraces, while other apartments combine a living-area terrace with a smaller balcony off a bedroom. Top-floor homes have another relationship to the roof. The usable outdoor area can be substantial even in a compact apartment.
In-unit laundry, central cooling and generous glazing occur among the homes. Two-bedroom layouts can include two bathrooms, an arrangement that differs from the single-bath plans in the smaller apartments. These are building-level layout types; finishes and later renovations vary across the individual residences.
Building operations
The common facilities include a gym, bicycle room and shared rooftop. Storage is available in the cellar, and garage parking can be a separately deeded purchase. A parking interest has traded independently, so a parking space should be identified as a separate asset when it accompanies an apartment.
Elevator access serves all five stories. Video intercom handles entry. The largest residential owner holds one apartment, and the residential association has no majority owner on the current assessment roll.
Policy framework
Pets: Permitted — confirm with the managing agent. In-unit washer/dryer: Present in apartments — confirm installation requirements with the managing agent.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 3-03049-7501) and verified listing data. Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified by The Roebling Team research desk. Not all transactions cross-verify with ACRIS records — sponsor and LLC purchases sometimes record at stipulated values rather than market price; square footage from recorded condo declarations and offering plans.

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.
