A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 86–88 Middleton 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.
86–88 Middleton Street is a sixteen-residence condominium developed through two attached eight-apartment buildings. Henry Radusky was the architect of record for both new-building applications. Their tall, narrow arrangement places a relatively small apartment inventory across a midrise structure in south Williamsburg.
The construction history spans several dates. Both applications received full permits in January 2003, and individual apartments had begun trading by the mid-2000s. DOB signed off the two jobs in early 2016, well after those first apartment transfers.
Architecture and unit composition
The residential inventory includes homes around 790 square feet and larger apartments around 1,015–1,030 square feet. Both size groups appear above the lower floors. The two address components therefore contain more than one repeated apartment footprint.
Each building's new-building application specified eight dwellings over ten stories. The development's residential distribution is sparse for its height, with elevator access confirmed in the Department of Finance classification. The total condominium includes three nonresidential tax lots in addition to the sixteen apartments.
Storage interests have their own recorded transfers. At least two nonresidential lots are designated as storage in DOF records, so the nineteen total condominium interests should not be treated as nineteen homes.
Building operations
Residential ownership is dispersed: no single owner holds more than one of the sixteen apartments on the current tax roll. The two-building condominium shares a single billing lot, while each apartment has its own unit lot and deed.
The former 421-a benefit has reached the end of its recorded term. A purchase now takes place after the building's fifteen-year exemption, which last appeared on the 2021 roll. Historic transactions from its initial sales period occurred under a different tax position.
The structure's recorded built floor area ratio exceeds today's stated residential allowance for the R6 zoning district. That existing scale is part of the completed development; it does not itself establish an opportunity for further enlargement.
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.

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.
