A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at The Herald 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.
The Herald is a four-story Renaissance Revival apartment building designed by Thomas Bennett around 1909. Its brick and stone façade, pressed-metal details and arched top-floor windows survive within the Park Slope Historic District Extension. The cooperative combines compact prewar apartments with a shared rear garden, one block from Prospect Park.
Built for Max Kurzrok, the property belongs to a group of four flats buildings developed along this stretch of 15th Street. Apartment combinations have since created larger homes inside the original building, while the stairs and modest floor plates retain the scale of an early-twentieth-century walk-up.
Architecture and unit composition
The façade uses brick, stone and pressed metal, with arch-headed windows marking the fourth story. The tall windows and ceiling heights carry through to the apartments, where wood floors and exposed brick are recurring features.
The inventory includes one-bedroom homes, apartments with an additional office and two-bedroom configurations. Combinations add larger layouts beyond the size of the original apartments. Some smaller homes have living and dining areas toward one end of the plan, with sleeping rooms separated along the interior circulation.
The rear garden is shared. Selected lower-floor apartments have a direct entrance to it, giving those homes a different route outdoors from the upper residences. That access should be distinguished from ownership of the garden itself.
Building operations
The cooperative has professional management and a custodian responsible for garbage and common-area upkeep. Basement storage supplements the apartments, and stroller parking is available on the first floor.
Recent capital work has included a new roof with solar panels, sewer-line replacement, basement and foundation waterproofing, and replacement garden and basement access stairs and doors. Gas lines were renewed in 2017, the hallways refurbished in 2021 and the boiler replaced in 2022. These projects cover both the exterior shell and several core building systems.
Historic-district designation brings exterior alterations under LPC oversight. Roof equipment and replacement windows therefore sit within the same preservation framework as the masonry façade.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 3-01103-0073) 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 on co-ops is not officially recorded, figures shown are approximate.

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.
