Brooklyn Heights

Brooklyn Heights sits on the bluff above the harbor and was designated New York City's first historic district in November 1965. The stock is overwhelmingly cooperative — ninety-seven co-ops against seventeen condominiums across the buildings we track — and mostly interwar, with Federal and Greek Revival houses converted alongside purpose-built elevator buildings on Remsen, Pierrepont and Montague. Most of it went cooperative in the 1980s, so the offering plan, not the listing, is where the flip tax and sublet rules actually live.
