About the building
461 Carroll Street is a two-residence condominium created from a former Gowanus manufacturing property. The building housed the Linda Tool Company, a tool-and-die manufacturer, before its residential conversion. Architect Kimberly Ackert designed the alteration, which received DOB sign-off in November 2012. The conversion retained the small industrial building's footprint while giving its street elevation a white finish and a carefully screened window arrangement.
Angled louvers across the south-facing façade shade the glazing while admitting light into the interiors. The lower residence is a two-bedroom duplex with a private garden and an open living area whose height reflects the building's industrial origins. Living spaces extend toward the rear outdoor area, and internal stairs connect the duplex levels. The exterior shading is an integral architectural element of this small conversion.

What to know if you’re buying
The façade's shading system is a shared-building issue. Its louvers and attachments will eventually need maintenance alongside the roof and converted structure. In a two-owner association, those decisions and costs fall to a very small group, so the division between common exterior work and each home's private areas matters. Some mortgage lenders give two-unit condominium projects additional scrutiny.

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.
