## Property Overview

185 Smith Street is being offered for the first time in over half a century. The property is a three-story brick mixed-use building comprised of two (2) residential apartments above one (1) ground-floor retail unit. Ideally located on Smith Street between Warren and Wyckoff Streets, the building sits along one of the most vibrant retail and residential corridors in the Cobble Hill / Boerum Hill neighborhood of Brooklyn.
Constructed circa 1931, the building measures approximately 20 feet wide by 53 feet deep on both the ground-floor retail level and the second floor, with the second floor extending to a rear deck. The third floor measures approximately 20 feet by 44’6” deep. Ceiling heights are approximately 7.5 feet in the cellar, 9 feet on the street and second floors, and 8 feet 4 inches on the top floor. The property contains approximately 2,700 square feet above grade, not including the cellar, which is currently utilized by the commercial tenant. The building sits on a lot measuring approximately 20 feet by 60 feet and is zoned R6A, C2-4. All interested purchasers are encouraged to conduct their own due diligence regarding building measurements.
The ground-floor retail space is occupied by Soula Shoes, a beloved neighborhood shoe store that has operated in the location for over 20 years. The tenant’s current lease runs through 2028 and they cover approximately 50% of the building’s property taxes, providing stable long-term income.
Above the retail space are two residential apartments. The second floor is configured as a two-bedroom, one-bath apartment featuring a large rear deck, washer/dryer, and a chef’s kitchen with upgraded appliances and cabinetry. The top floor is also configured as a two-bedroom, one-bath apartment with excellent natural light and similarly sized bedrooms, and consistently attracts strong rental demand. Each residential apartment is separately metered for gas and electric.
185 Smith Street is surrounded by some of the neighborhood’s most established retailers, including Paisanos Butcher Shop, Starbucks, SEE Eyewear, Malin + Goetz, Aesop, and Warby Parker.

Based on house sales in Boerum Hill with the required listing and closing data. Sample sizes vary by metric.

These are two separate periods measured on different clocks — time to find a buyer, and time from agreed deal to closing. They are medians of different sets of sales and do not add together into a single "days on market" figure.

Sales data through August 2026.

Sale prices are the consideration recorded with the City in ACRIS, and each sale is dated by the day the City recorded it. A closing date reported to the MLS typically falls one to two weeks earlier. Recorded sales describe what has already happened and are not an appraisal, a valuation, or an estimate of what this home will sell for.

The City has not published the official FY2026/27 and FY2025/26 tax rates yet. We calculated the tax for those years using the prior year’s rate, so treat them as an estimate rather than a figure the City has adopted. Every rate without the Estimated marker is the published one.

Tax Assessment is the assessed value on the City’s roll, and it is the figure other listing sites publish. It is not what the bill is calculated on. New York phases assessment changes in gradually for some tax classes, so the City bills the Billable Value shown beside it, less any exemption the owner holds. It usually trails the assessment, and it can sit above it for a few years after an assessment falls.

Figures are the New York City Department of Finance assessment roll for tax lot 3003910002. Assessed and billable values are determined by the City for tax purposes and are not an appraisal or an estimate of market value. Tax classes and rates are set annually and can change.
