House of the Day: 190 Dean Street
Here’s an interesting property: The three-story brick house at 190 Dean Street at Bond Street in Boerum Hill is currently configured as three floor-thru residential units along with a three-car garage at the rear.

Here’s an interesting property: The three-story brick house at 190 Dean Street at Bond Street in Boerum Hill is currently configured as three floor-thru residential units along with a three-car garage at the rear. The building, which is asking $1,600,000, will be delivered vacant, though, so a buyer could convert the ground-floor space back to retail and create a duplex apartment above it. The interior still has some nice detail and looks to be in decent shape, though a new kitchen would likely be in order in the scenario we describe above. What do you think the store could rent for in this location?

Does anyone know where NYC documents the rule about a commercial space loosing it’s zoning status after two years of non use? I can’t find anything about it online, this related to another property I am considering. Thanks everyone.
Tiptoe, what kept you from buying the house across the street? Was it the illegal heavy truck traffic and incessant honking on Bond Street every morning? Or the late-night noise made by the steam of passerbys? Or some other reason(s)?
i think conforming loan amounts are higher these days. If only there was a kindly mortgage broker who could enlighten us…
Boerum Hill,
I realize they are not the be all end all of loan amounts, I was just using them as a referent.
Christopher,
The loan amounts you’re talking about are the maximum amounts to be conforming, not the actual amounts that a bank will be willing to lend you.
Hold an auction for the parking spots. They might go for well over $200 a month.

I live nearby; there hasn’t been a functioning store in there for a long time, certainly more than two years. But I’m all for getting around the two year clock. I’d love to see some useful retail/food establishment open up on that corner.
As a homeowner, I’d actually be pleased to know that a house smaller than mine changed hands at 1.6. But hardly a good comparable with the parking and possible retail. Given the state of things, I won’t be surprised to see it go for quite a bit less. It’s a new reality out there and I’m not sure we’ve all adjusted.
If I had the money and if the first floor could actually be used commercially, this building would basically exactly fit what I dream of: owning a bar with offices on floor 2 and a big living space on floor 3. Hell, the old-timey looking windows even go perfectly with the look I want for the bar.
SOMEDAY!
