About the building
481 Henry Street is a four-residence townhouse condominium within the Cobble Hill Historic District. The building's original construction dates to 1845. Its modern condominium offering was accepted in September 2007 under sponsor ASRN LLC. Michael Just was the architect on the signed-off alteration application, which retained four dwellings within the building.
The layout mix includes a garden duplex with its own entrance, two bedrooms and additional lower-level space. It opens toward the rear yard, while the apartments above occupy the upper portions of the townhouse. Central air conditioning and laundry equipment support the renovated residential use. Access to the upper homes is by stairs. The garden configuration's outdoor connection is a distinct feature of the lower part of the building.

What to know if you’re buying
Garden access and garden ownership need to be distinguished. The Attorney General's filing history identifies the rear yard as a common element. A purchaser of the lower duplex should establish the current exclusive-use rights, if any, and the association's access and maintenance rights. In a four-residence condominium, that outdoor allocation can have a meaningful effect on both use and shared expenses.

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.
