939 Bedford Avenue

Baobab Architects P.C. filed the job (B00989145) in January 2024 as an alteration requiring a new certificate of occupancy, keeping elements of the existing building. The filing describes an existing three-story building with basement and cellar, enlarged to four stories plus a mezzanine, a cellar and a penthouse, 66 feet tall, with about 9,630 square feet of construction floor area. The main permit issued April 25, 2025. Structural, foundation, mechanical, sprinkler and plumbing filings were permitted between April 2025 and May 2026. A further amendment to the main plans (B00989145-P8) was in plan examiner review as of October 29, 2026.

The unit count does not reconcile. Every Department of Buildings filing on the job, from the first approval in 2025 through the amendment under review on October 29, 2026, lists two existing dwelling units and three proposed. The offering plan lists four residential units, no commercial, storage or other units, and four in total. PLUTO shows three units in a four-floor building of 6,607 square feet. The public record does not show which count is right. Either the building filing will be amended to four units or the plan will be amended to three; ask the sponsor's attorney which document controls before signing anything, and expect the Attorney General to require the two to agree before acceptance.

Unit mix, finishes, outdoor space and amenities have not been published. The plan's Schedule A will list every home once the plan is accepted.

Per the offering plan filed with the New York State Attorney General (plan CD260296), the plan was submitted August 13, 2026 at a total offering price of $6,500,000 for four residential units, with 939 Bedford AV LLC as sponsor. The record shows no acceptance date, no amendments, no effective date and no units sold. The sponsor has not published asking prices.

At $1,625,000 per home on average, the plan sits above the closed prices at 103 Putnam Avenue ($965,000 to $1.595 million) and in line with the asks at 118 Madison Street (about $1.3 million to $2 million).

Before the plan is accepted. Until the Attorney General accepts the plan, the sponsor cannot sign purchase contracts or take deposits or reservations, binding or non-binding; an interest list does not secure a unit. Prices and unit counts in the filed plan can move through amendments.

Unit count. Confirm whether the building is approved for three homes or four. The answer affects the certificate of occupancy, the common charges and the resale market for each unit.

Deposit and contract. New-development contracts typically require a deposit of 10% at signing, held in escrow. The plan and contract package state this building's terms.

Closing costs. In sponsor sales the buyer customarily pays the New York State transfer tax (0.4%) and the New York City real property transfer tax (1.425% above $500,000), plus the state mansion tax of 1% at $1 million and above. On a $1.625 million home that is about $29,700 in transfer taxes and $16,250 in mansion tax. Use the calculators below to run your price.

Construction stage. The enlargement is permitted, but the main plans are still being amended. Ask for the construction schedule and the expected date of a temporary certificate of occupancy.

Carrying costs and abatement. The plan's budget will project common charges and taxes. No tax abatement has been disclosed.
