A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 52 Third Avenue 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.
52 Third Avenue is a five-story condominium with both a shared roof deck and a backyard garden. Its fifteen residences occupy the short Third Avenue block between Atlantic Avenue and Pacific Street, near the eastern edge of Boerum Hill. Michael Berzak's 2003 new-building filing called for the fifteen-home, five-story building that now stands here.
Architecture and unit composition
The apartment mix includes one-bedroom homes around 700–750 square feet, two-bedroom layouts around 1,050–1,110 square feet and larger lower-level duplex arrangements. The duplexes incorporate space on more than one level, so their larger total areas describe a different floor-plan structure from the standard apartments above.
The upper-floor inventory includes homes with private outdoor decks. Some of that space is arranged over two levels, with a deck connected to the living area and a second outdoor level above. These private spaces supplement the common roof and garden available to the building.
One-bedroom layouts include open living and kitchen areas with separate bedrooms. Larger two-bedroom plans spread the living accommodation over more floor area without requiring a duplex arrangement. Elevator access serves the upper floors.
Building operations
The common facilities include a laundry room, bicycle storage and resident storage rooms. The garden and roof deck place shared outdoor space at both ends of the building's vertical circulation. Individual storage arrangements vary, including private rooms associated with some homes.
The original 421-a benefit has run its course. It began in 2009 and last appeared on the 2024 roll. The building's current tax position therefore differs from the abated costs that accompanied early sales. All fifteen apartments are residential Class 2 lots, with separate condominium tax bills.
Ownership is dispersed: the largest single holder on the assessment roll owns one apartment. Professional management is identified for the building.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 3-00185-7502) 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 from recorded condo declarations and offering plans.

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.
