A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 96 Rockwell Place 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.
96 Rockwell Place combines an old piano warehouse with a substantial upper-story addition. The conversion took a six-story industrial structure and approximately doubled its height, creating 37 condominium residences. Its through-block property also has frontage at 55 Flatbush Avenue.
The project reached completion in 2009, and individual condominium sales began that year. Market-rate residences made up the principal residential offering. High ceilings and loft proportions survive as part of the building's identity, while the newer upper floors introduce a different structural origin within the same condominium.
The inventory includes studios, one-bedrooms and two-bedrooms, with larger penthouse configurations at the top. Many standard apartments fall in a relatively compact band, while the larger two-bedroom layouts offer substantially more living area. Some homes have balconies.
Architecture and unit composition
The original warehouse forms the lower portion of the building, with the addition rising above it. The conversion's architect was Franke, Gottsegen, Cox Architects. The project retained the industrial base while fitting modern residential layouts into both the older shell and the new upper structure.
Ceilings generally range from approximately ten to twelve feet. Wide wood floors, open living areas and large windows contribute to the loft character. The residential plans include compact homes in the roughly 700-square-foot range, larger one-bedroom configurations and two-bedroom homes around 1,166 square feet.
The two-bedroom inventory has a substantially different footprint from the smaller studios and one-bedrooms. Balconies occur in selected apartments, and the penthouse inventory adds larger interior and outdoor configurations. In-unit washers and dryers are part of the residential equipment.
The building's two frontages and vertical addition create differences in outlook as well as height. A home in the original warehouse and one in the upper addition can have different proportions despite belonging to the same condominium. The room layout and actual exposure establish the useful comparison.
Building operations
The common amenities include an attended lobby, fitness room, bicycle storage and private storage. The property has one commercial tax lot in addition to the residential unit lots. Its tax benefits include both residential programs and a separately identified commercial program.
The J-51 benefit began in 2014 with a 14-year term, the commercial ICIP/ICAP benefit in 2009 with a 25-year term, and the Article XI benefit in 2013 with a 39-year term. All remain active on the 2027 roll. The commercial benefit should not be treated as a residential apartment's exemption, and the Article XI benefit applies only to the building's designated affordable rental units, not to its market-rate condominium homes generally.

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 2025–30. 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.

Market read. Most recent trades (2026 to date) cleared a median $1,089/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. Median listing discount 0.2% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy.

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.
