A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 957 Pacific 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.
957 Pacific Street is an 18-apartment elevator condominium with deeded parking, built in 2008 on the stretch of Pacific Street just east of Washington Avenue. The sponsor sold 16 of the 18 apartments between June 2008 and November 2009, then held the two ground-floor apartments until 2013. It sold its last parking space to the condominium itself in 2016. The sponsor holds nothing on the current roll.
The tax exemption is the fact that matters most to a buyer. The building carries a 25-year 421-a benefit that is still at 100 percent, so owners pay tax on only a small pre-construction base value. That lasts four more tax years. Starting in 2030/31 the benefit steps down 20 points a year, and from July 2034 each apartment pays full tax. For a buyer in 2026, a hold of more than four years runs into a steadily rising tax bill.
The building also has an unusual structure. It is one of three neighboring condominiums, at 925, 935 and 957 Pacific Street, that each deeded a recreation unit to the same homeowners association. That association is a separate entity with its own rights and costs, described below.
Architecture and unit composition
The building rises five stories on a 7,500-square-foot lot with about 75 feet of frontage. The DOB filing records about 27,000 square feet of construction. Apartments are numbered by floor: two on the ground floor (101 and 102), four on each of floors two through four, and four on the fifth floor (501–504).
On the Department of Finance roll, the two ground-floor apartments are the largest, at about 1,565 square feet each. Apartments on floors two through four are carried at about 750 square feet and fifth-floor apartments at about 800. The roll's figures are the city's gross measurements and may not match the offering plan's; measure before relying on them. Whether the ground-floor units include lower-level or outdoor space should be checked against the declaration's floor plans for the specific unit.
There are nine parking spaces, each a separate deeded unit of about 160 square feet on the roll, with its own share of the 421-a. Nine spaces for 18 apartments means half the apartments convey without one. Several owners hold a space alongside their apartment. The condominium itself owns one space.
The recreation unit is carried at about 2,640 square feet and was deeded by the sponsor in July 2008 to the Pacific Blue Homeowners Association Inc. The same association holds recreation units in the 925 and 935 Pacific Street condominiums, per the Department of Finance roll. None of the documents we could read describes what the recreation space is, who may use it, or what the association charges. The declaration and the association's own documents will.
Building operations
The 421-a schedule, read from the Department of Finance record. On the 2026/27 roll, each unit's exempt value equals its full assessed value above a fixed 2006 base: the benefit is at 100 percent. The exemption is a 25-year, no-cap benefit first effective in 2009/10. Under the statute's 25-year schedule, the benefit stays at 100 percent for 21 years and then drops 20 points a year for four years. That puts the full benefit through 2029/30, then 80 percent in 2030/31, 60 percent in 2031/32, 40 percent in 2032/33 and 20 percent in 2033/34, with full taxes from July 1, 2034. This is our reading of the statute against the DOF record, not a DOF-published schedule. Have the buyer's attorney confirm it against the unit's exemption detail. ACRIS indexes no regulatory agreement against the base lot or the units.
Finances, per the compiled statements on file. The condominium's fiscal year ends May 31. Its most recent statements on file, for the years to May 2021, were compiled by an outside accountant, not audited. Common charges were flat at about $115,000 a year. The reserve money-market account held about $70,000 at May 31, 2021, and the condominium carried no debt. In the 2019/20 year the board levied a special assessment of about $45,000 to fund operating expenses and spent about $30,000 on major repairs. The statements note that no study of future major repairs has been done. Ask for the current budget, the latest statements and the reserve balance; the figures on file are five years old.
Capital work. DOB records a 2014 filing for foundation waterproofing and stucco replacement, with sidewalk sheds and scaffolding in place between 2014 and 2016. At five stories the building sits below the six-story threshold of the city's façade-inspection program (Local Law 11). At 18 years old, roofs, the two elevators and mechanical equipment are due for evaluation.
Policy framework
- Leasing: Allowed with board approval. The owner submits a background check, a copy of the lease, credit report and references, and the board may interview the tenant. The maximum lease term is one year, with a second year subject to board review. Tenants may not sublet, and leases must require renter's insurance, per the 2018 house rules on file.
- Alterations: One week's notice to management, licensed and insured contractors, weekday working hours of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and deposits of $500 for minor work and $1,000 for permitted work, per the house rules.
- Moves: Weekdays 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., scheduled five business days ahead, with a $250 non-refundable moving fee and a $500 deposit, per the house rules.
- Grills and roof: No charcoal or propane grills anywhere on the property, and no resident access to the roof, per the house rules.
- Windows: Window and window-door systems are the unit owner's responsibility, per the house rules.
Recent sales
957 Pacific Street trades as 2008-vintage elevator condominium product on the Prospect Heights–Crown Heights line, priced per square foot. The fair comparison set is the mid-size Crown Heights and Prospect Heights condominiums of 2008 to 2012, many of which carry a 25-year 421-a of their own. Against those, this building's advantages are its small size, two elevators, deeded parking, and an exemption that still has four years at the full benefit. Its weakness is thin financial reporting: compiled rather than audited statements and a modest reserve. The two ground-floor apartments, roughly twice the size of the upper-floor units on the roll, set the top of the range, and a deeded space adds separate value. With 18 apartments, resales come a few at a time. Unit-level transaction history is maintained in The Roebling Research Library and shared with clients during diligence.

What to know if you’re buying
Underwrite the 2034/35 tax bill. The exemption is at 100 percent through 2029/30 and gone by July 2034. For any hold longer than four years, model the phase-out year by year.
Read the homeowners association documents. The recreation unit belongs to an association shared with two neighboring condominiums. Ask for its governing documents, its budget and any separate charge to unit owners.
Confirm what conveys. Parking spaces are separate units, and only nine exist. If a listing includes one, the contract and the deed must name the lot number.
Get current financials. The statements on file stop in 2021 and were compiled, not audited. Ask for the latest budget, the reserve balance and any assessment history since 2020.
What to know if you’re selling
Show the tax schedule early. Four years at the full benefit is a selling point today. Presenting the year-by-year figures up front heads off a late renegotiation over the phase-out.
Price a deeded space separately. With nine spaces for 18 apartments, a space has a ready buyer inside the building. Decide early whether to bundle it.
Have the house rules ready. Buyers who may rent will ask about the one-year lease cap and board approval of tenants.

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.
