About the building
457 First Street is a two-residence cooperative in a Park Slope townhouse. The ownership entity is 457 First Street Owners Corp. PLUTO assigns a 1940 construction date and three principal stories; current DOB renovation filings retain two dwellings. Although the building contains only two homes, it falls in Tax Class 2C, with the assessment-growth limits applicable to that class.
The lower duplex has two bedrooms and two bathrooms, with living and dining space on one level and bedrooms below. A rear patio provides private outdoor space, and laundry is available in the basement. The upper duplex has three bedrooms, two-and-a-half bathrooms and an open living-and-dining floor. Its roof deck overlooks Brooklyn and the Manhattan skyline, and the home includes central air and laundry.

The retrade record
Lines that have traded more than once in the public record — the building’s appreciation arc, apartment by apartment.
Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 3-01074-0077) 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.

What to know if you’re buying
Two shareholders and a privately used roof. The upper home's roof deck creates a division between its outdoor amenity and the cooperative's common roof structure. The proprietary lease determines who pays for decking, waterproofing and access during repairs. With only two homes funding the corporation, voting arrangements and repair allocations carry unusual weight, and the buyer's lender must accept this small cooperative project.

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.
