About the building
512 Henry Street is a four-residence cooperative on the western side of Carroll Gardens. Its small walk-up structure sits between Union and President streets, with the residential layouts extending between Henry Street and the rear of the lot. The cooperative occupies a prewar building dated 1920 by city records. Ownership is organized through a single building corporation, with shares attached to individual apartments.
The homes include two-bedroom floor-throughs with one-and-a-half or two bathrooms. At the garden level, a broad wall of glazing and a glass door connect the living and dining area to a private landscaped yard. High ceilings, hardwood floors and fireplaces appear within the apartment inventory, along with in-unit laundry. Some interiors have been reconfigured with open living spaces and extensive built-in storage. Upper residences have stair access and different relationships to the rear garden.

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 3-00337-0022) 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
Private garden use within cooperative ownership: The garden home's yard and rear glazing are material parts of its layout. The proprietary lease should establish the extent of exclusive garden use and who maintains the drainage, rear doors and boundary structures. Changes to those areas can affect the common building, so they require agreement within a cooperative of only four residences.

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.
