A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 75 Columbia Street would likely sell for today, what it costs to sell, and what you’d walk away with — reviewed personally against condition, exposures, renovation quality, and the competition actually on the market.
75 Columbia Street is a small elevator condominium with a garage, in a district with few of either: ten residences, nine parking spaces and a roof terrace at the Warren Street end of block 299. The block also holds 100 Congress Street, the larger 2011 building from a sponsor with a near-identical name, and The Govley, completed in 2025.
The main fact is a date. The building's 421-a exemption ends after June 30, 2027. 421-a is the state program that exempted the added value of new construction from property tax for a fixed term. Here it is the 15-year version with no cap (Department of Finance code 5113, "421A 15 YR NO CAP"), with a 2007 base year and a benefit start of 2013. The roll shows the standard schedule:
- The exemption covered the full added value through 2022/23.
- It then stepped down to about 80, 60 and 40 percent in the next three years.
- It stands at about 20 percent for 2026/27, the tax year that began July 1, 2026. That is the fifteenth and final year.
Every residential and parking lot carries the same schedule. The offering plan projected first-year residential taxes with the benefit at about one-sixth of the unabated figure. Most of that step-up has already happened. One step remains.
Architecture and unit composition
David Gross designed a seven-story building over a cellar, in the street-wall, height-capped form that R6A zoning requires.
Department of Finance unit areas:
- 1A: about 1,875 square feet
- 2B, 3A, 3B, 4A, 4B, 5A, 5B: about 1,265 to 1,280 square feet each
- 6: a full floor of about 1,900 square feet
- 7: a full floor of about 1,780 square feet
- PS1–PS9: nine parking spaces, each its own tax lot
The plan's unit schedule shows three-bedroom layouts on the middle floors and four-bedroom residences with terraces on the top two floors. Confirm the current layout of a specific unit against the declaration.
Heat and hot water come from a gas boiler, and heating gas is budgeted in the common charges, per the offering plan. Apartment electricity is separately metered. The plan's first-year budget included a part-time superintendent and a 10 percent operating reserve.
Building operations
Sponsor position. The sponsor closed its residential sales between October 2013 and mid-2014 and its last parking spaces in 2015, per ACRIS. No residence is held by a sponsor entity on the current roll. The record buyers include individuals, trusts and LLCs; names alone do not establish their relationships or beneficial ownership.
Finances. No audited statements are on file. The current budget, reserve balance and any capital or façade work must come from the managing agent.
Policy framework
- No board approval. Under the offering plan, an owner may sell or lease to anyone, subject to the board of managers' right to match the terms.
- Investor purchases. The plan placed no limit on units bought as investments.
- Pets, subletting procedure and house rules are not documented on file. Confirm with the managing agent.
Local Law 97
This building is below the 25,000 sq ft threshold at which LL97 limits apply to a building on its own. It is still covered if it shares a tax lot or condominium board with buildings totaling over 50,000 sq ft; confirm on DOB’s covered-buildings list.
See full Local Law 97 analysis →Facade safety — Local Law 11
The latest available FISP filing classified the facade as Safe — no repairs were required at that inspection. A filed Safe grade is not a guarantee of current condition: owners still maintain the facade and, where required, observe parapets each year. Future inspection timing (Local Law 49 of 2025 changed the cycle framework from October 1, 2026), repair and any assessment decisions remain building-specific.
How to read this, and where it comes from
QEWI = Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector — a licensed professional engineer or registered architect who meets DOB’s FISP qualifications and signs the report (the independent expert, not the managing agent).
Penalties shown are amounts DOB assessed against filings on record across 2015–20 to 2020–25. The FISP dataset does not record whether they were paid, contested or remain open, so treat the figure as history rather than a current balance and confirm the building’s standing with the managing agent.

Recent sales
75 Columbia Street trades as modern-era new construction, priced per square foot. The two full-floor top residences with terraces price separately from the three-bedroom middle floors. Adjust for parking, which sells on its own here, for the terraces, and for the July 2027 tax change.
Recorded transfers continued from 2018 through 2026. The building is small, so extend the comparable window several years. Unit-level transaction history is maintained in The Roebling Research Library and shared with clients during diligence.

Market read. Most recent trades (2026 to date) cleared a median $1,482/sf (floor-adjusted) across 1 sale. Floor-adjusted means each sale is restated to a constant mix of floors, so the figure can differ from the plain median of the sales listed above.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 3-00299-7502; each condominium apartment is its own tax lot). Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified in The Roebling Research Library.

What to know if you’re buying
Price the full tax bill. Ask the seller for the 2026/27 bill, then remove the final 20 percent of exemption. From July 2027 that is the real number. Run True Monthly Carrying Cost on both.
Confirm what the unit includes. Check whether a parking lot comes with the apartment, and whether a storage space is attached by license.
What to know if you’re selling
Explain the tax change up front. Show the current bill and the unabated figure. The buyer should not discount twice for a step-up that has mostly happened already.
Lead with no board approval. Buyers coming from the co-op market in Cobble Hill and Brooklyn Heights value a right-of-first-refusal process.

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.
