About the building
590 Lorimer Street is a three-story house converted into three condominiums in Williamsburg. The original building dates to 1899 in city records; the modern conversion followed the property's sale as a three-family building. It retains the small footprint and vertical arrangement of a neighborhood rowhouse. The building stands a block from the Lorimer Street L and Metropolitan Avenue G station complex.
The residential arrangement places a garden duplex at the base and floor-through homes above. Private outdoor space includes a rear yard and a roof deck serving the top floor. The lower home extends into a recreation level, while the upper residences occupy the main above-ground floors. Apartment services include individual laundry and central air, with separate storage elsewhere in the building.

What to know if you’re buying
The three-home association puts decisions about the roof, insurance and building repairs in very few hands, and a lender may apply additional review to a project of this size. The garden residence's recreation level adds usable space, but it should not be counted as another legal bedroom.

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.
