A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 796 Wythe Avenue 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.
796 Wythe Avenue is a seven-story elevator condominium with twelve residences in southern Williamsburg. Arnold Montag filed the new-building application in 2002, and DOB's subsequent records identify the original construction job as signed off in December 2005. The project belongs to the area's early-2000s expansion of individually owned apartment buildings.
Its small residential inventory occupies a relatively tall structure. The condominium has separate apartment tax lots and distributed ownership, with no owner holding more than one residence on the DOF roll. The development's original fifteen-year tax benefit has expired.
Architecture and unit composition
The completed program contains twelve apartments across seven floors. A 2006 DOB filing corrected the occupancy paperwork to match the approved twelve-dwelling schedule; it described no physical change to the building's bulk, use or egress.
The residences appearing in recent transactions have areas of roughly 980 to 1,100 square feet. That relatively narrow band includes homes at the base, middle and upper part of the building. Elevator access serves the residential floors.
The building's current floor-area ratio is 3.1 within an R7-1 district showing 3.44 as the standard residential allowance. The small difference is a zoning comparison, not evidence that an individual apartment can be expanded.
Building operations
Twelve owners share the elevator and common building systems. The condominium's residential tax lots are all Class 2, which carries no statutory cap on annual assessment growth. The association's compact size means capital expenses are allocated among relatively few residences.
The 421-a exemption began in 2007 and last appeared on the 2022 roll. This is now a post-abatement property. Historical common-charge and tax combinations from its earlier ownership years can understate the tax component of current carrying costs.
The recorded condominium structure is residential, with twelve residential lots and no separately identified commercial condominium lot. Its operational comparison is therefore with other small residential elevator associations in this part of Brooklyn.

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.
