About the building
648 Second Street is a five-residence cooperative near Prospect Park West. Benjamin Driesler designed the row house in 1903 for William H. Reynolds's First Construction Company. Its brownstone exterior combines Romanesque Revival forms with Neoclassical detailing and is protected within the Park Slope Historic District.
The apartments include a garden floor-through and upper homes with separate living and dining areas. Original details survive alongside renovated interiors, including fireplaces, woodwork and tall ceilings. The garden home has a separate entrance and private rear courtyard. The cooperative is self-managed and provides basement laundry and designated storage; some apartments also have their own washers and dryers.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 3-01079-0035). Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified in The Roebling Research Library. Not all transactions cross-verify with ACRIS records — sponsor and LLC purchases sometimes record at stipulated values rather than market price; square footage on co-ops is not officially recorded, figures shown are approximate.

What to know if you’re buying
Five apartments share a landmarked exterior. The cooperative's small scale concentrates the cost of brownstone and window work among a handful of homes. Exterior alterations can also require LPC consent, while the garden apartment's separate entrance and under-stoop area create maintenance boundaries distinct from the shared upper stair.

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.
