A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 47 South 8th 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.
This small elevator condominium belongs to the early-2000s wave of ownership housing in South Williamsburg. Its fourteen residences include ground-floor homes with private exterior space, and the building continues to receive a twenty-five-year 421-a benefit that began in 2004. Individual apartments have changed hands for more than two decades.
Architecture and unit composition
The building has a brick exterior and a mix of apartment sizes. Homes include a roughly 1,020-square-foot configuration and larger garden-level space arranged on a single floor. At the base, a private yard extends the usable outdoor area beyond the apartment's interior rooms.
The garden configuration can provide approximately 400 to 500 square feet of exterior space alongside an interior of about 1,200 square feet. A direct ground-level entrance and bedrooms on the same level give this type of home a different access arrangement from apartments reached through the elevator and upper-floor common areas.
The building is also recorded under the adjoining 45 South 8th Street address. The relevant ownership interest is the particular condominium lot, even when an older deed uses a different street number within the property.
Building operations
The condominium has an elevator and fourteen separately owned residential lots. The largest owner holds one apartment, so there is no majority concentration across the residential inventory in the current DOF roll.
Common charges cover shared work such as exterior and common-area maintenance. Private garden space is attached to particular homes. The division between exclusive outdoor use and common exterior maintenance matters when an owner plans work along the building's ground-floor walls or yard boundary.
The existing building exceeds the residential FAR shown for its C4-3 zoning. That comparison describes the building's current bulk, not an available enlargement area.
Local Law 97
This building is below the 25,000 sq ft threshold at which LL97 limits apply to a building on its own. It is still covered if it shares a tax lot or condominium board with buildings totaling over 50,000 sq ft; confirm on DOB’s covered-buildings list.

What to know if you’re buying
The tax benefit is already well into its term. The active 421-a program began in 2004 and has a twenty-five-year duration. A purchase here therefore requires a carrying-cost projection that follows the remaining exemption schedule through its expiration, including the apartment's unabated assessment. An advertised current tax amount will not represent the same benefit throughout a long holding period.

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.
