About the building
589 Hicks Street is a four-home condominium conversion at the western edge of Carroll Gardens. The building retains its townhouse scale beside the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway corridor. Individual condominium ownership began by 2019, following a whole-building sale two years earlier. A J-51 rehabilitation benefit subsequently began in 2021.
The layouts include a lower duplex with a private rear yard and upper apartments with two or three bedrooms. West-facing front windows overlook Hicks Street, while the garden home's rear bedrooms open toward its outdoor area. The lower duplex contains additional recreation space beneath the main living floor. Central heating and cooling, in-home laundry and private storage are among the converted building's features.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 3-00349-7502) 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.

What to know if you’re buying
Expressway exposure varies within the building. Hicks Street fronts the expressway corridor, while rear rooms face the block interior. Window placement and the location of bedrooms therefore deserve attention during a visit. For the garden duplex, the lower recreation area should be evaluated separately from the bedrooms on the main floor.

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.
