About the building
98 Joralemon Street is a Greek Revival row house divided into three cooperative residences. Its construction dates to the mid-nineteenth century, and the property belongs to the Brooklyn Heights Historic District established in 1965. The house retains the narrow frontage and vertically arranged interior space of the surrounding row-house streets. The protected exterior forms part of the cooperative's shared property, with alterations subject to historic-district review.
The apartment mix includes an upper duplex with a private roof terrace. Its living areas and bedrooms occupy separate levels, with windows facing the street and the block's interior gardens. Fireplaces and wood floors remain among the house's interior features. The upper home has in-unit laundry, and basement storage supplements the space within the apartments. Roof access and the internal stair arrangement are built into the upper residence; private outdoor space is not a shared amenity for all three homes.

What to know if you’re buying
The private terrace sits over a shared building. The upper home's outdoor surface, the waterproofing beneath it and the roof structure may carry different maintenance obligations. For this three-owner cooperative, that allocation can determine whether a repair is charged to the terrace owner or funded by the association. Decisions about common work involve a small shareholder group, and financing depends in part on a lender accepting the project's scale.

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.
