About the building
53 Lincoln Place is a four-residence condominium designed by John Hatheway Jr. and completed at the end of the 2000s. DOB signed off the new-building work in June 2009. The building pairs a small apartment count with direct elevator access, and its four homes each have private outdoor space. A 25-year 421-a benefit that began in 2011 remains active on the 2027 tax roll, distinguishing its carrying-cost structure from many small townhouse conversions nearby.
The inventory consists of three floor-through homes and a garden duplex. The upper apartments include two-bedroom, two-bathroom layouts, with balconies or terraces attached to the residences. The garden home extends across two levels and opens through broad glass doors toward its private outdoor area. A keyed elevator opens into the apartments, reducing the amount of common corridor space. Radiant floor heating runs through the homes, alongside central air conditioning and laundry. The upper full-floor layouts have living areas at one end and bedrooms set along the deeper part of the plan.

What to know if you’re buying
Four homes carry the cost of an elevator as well as the shared roof and exterior. That small ownership base makes equipment replacement a meaningful capital expense for each residence. The active 421-a benefit reduces the current tax burden but does not fund those common-building costs, which remain part of the association's budget.

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.
