A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 42–44 Skillman Street Condominium 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.
42–44 Skillman Street consists of two five-story buildings within one condominium. Each was filed with DOB for ten dwellings, giving the association twenty residences in total. Henry Radusky was the architect on both new-building applications, and the condominium declaration followed in 2005.
The development sits just south of Flushing Avenue, in an area where residential and commercial uses share a mixed-use zoning framework. Three commercial lots belong to the condominium alongside its residential inventory. The active 421-a benefit is a material part of the building's ownership profile more than two decades after construction.
Architecture and unit composition
The two buildings divide the residential inventory into separate street addresses and apartment designations. Homes offered under either address belong to the same condominium, so the twenty-residence count describes the combined property. Each building has its own ten-dwelling configuration in the original DOB new-building filings.
Apartments that have traded at the 44 Skillman portion include layouts of roughly 827 to 1,017 square feet. These are substantial apartment floor areas within a five-story development, though size alone doesn't tell you bedroom counts or a uniform floor plan across both buildings.
The property occupies a wider combined frontage than a single narrow infill site. Its two-building arrangement distributes the homes across two structures while keeping the legal condominium and commercial interests together.
Building operations
The condominium declaration was dated in May 2005 and recorded that July. Individual residential sales followed during the same year. The twenty residential lots and three commercial lots form the current tax-lot structure, with the largest single residential owner holding two apartments.
The 421-a program began in 2007 for a 25-year term. It remains active on the 2027 assessment roll. For an apartment purchase here, the remaining benefit schedule is directly relevant to future taxes: a present tax amount should be considered alongside the program's phaseout and the allocation to that residential lot.
The M1-2/R6A designation permits a mix of uses within Special Mixed Use District MX-4. Built floor area is close to the current residential allowance, at 2.83 FAR against 3.0. The association therefore occupies a substantially developed site within that zoning framework.

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.
