About the building
56 Bergen Street is a five-residence condominium in a roughly 25-foot-wide brownstone on the south side of the block. The building combines a four-story main house with a low rear extension, accommodating homes in both the main structure and the rear. Condominium homes were already trading individually by 2005. The property is outside the Cobble Hill Historic District, on the stretch of Bergen Street west of Smith Street.
The rear extension accommodates a two-bedroom home with both a garden and a roof terrace, an unusual pairing at ground level. Its low roof also permits an overhead skylight in the living space. Other homes occupy the street-facing portion and upper floors of the main building, including a lower duplex and smaller full-floor accommodation. Private storage and in-unit laundry are features of selected homes. Outdoor areas are attached to particular residences.

What to know if you’re buying
The owners manage this five-home condominium themselves. Maintenance planning, insurance and the collection of common charges therefore require direct participation from a small group. Some lenders apply additional project review to associations with so few 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.
