Delivered fully vacant at closing, the approximately 3,300-square-foot property comprises three spacious two-bedroom, one-bathroom apartments, each occupying a full floor. The first-floor residence features distinct living and dining areas, a windowed kitchen, generous ceiling heights of approximately 10 feet, and direct access to a private rear yard measuring approximately 20 feet by 33 feet. The second- and third-floor apartments offer expansive front and rear bedrooms, open living and dining areas, windowed kitchens, ample closet space, and ceiling heights approaching 10 feet. A full-footprint basement provides substantial storage and mechanical space, while the third floor includes access to the roof. Renovated approximately 15 years ago and maintained in good, functional condition, the property is being sold as-is and could benefit from cosmetic upgrading to meet today's design and rental standards. A proper Certificate of Occupancy confirms its legal three-family use, providing investors and end-users with confidence in the existing configuration. Sited on a 20-foot-by-89-foot lot with building dimensions of approximately 20 feet by 55 feet, 253 Troy Avenue also presents meaningful long-term development potential. The property is located within an R6/C1-3 zoning district, with a residential FAR of 3.0, a current FAR of approximately 1.85, and an estimated 2,047 square feet of additional buildable area, subject to independent architectural and zoning verification. ## Property Details - **Property Type**: Multi Family - **Beds**: 6 - **Baths**: 3 - **Rooms**: 14 - **Sqft**: 1,100 sqft - **Stories**: 3 - **Year Built**: 1925 - **Price per Sqft**: $1,295 - **Monthly Taxes**: $940 / mo - **Listed On**: Aug 4, 2026 - **Days on Market**: 42 Days ### Residence Features - In Unit - Smoke Free ## Sales Evidence ### How this price compares The median closed price for comparable house sales in Weeksville is $1,325,000, based on 5 sales between January 2026 and May 2026. This home is asking $1,425,000, $100,000 above that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $1,220,000 and $1,485,000. - **Median closed price**: $1,325,000 - **Middle half**: $1,220,000 – $1,485,000 - **Based on**: 5 house sales in Weeksville - **Period**: January 2026 – May 2026 Square footage is recorded for only 1 of these 5 sales (20%), so no price per square foot is shown for this group. Floor areas are usually recorded for house sales, so this is a thin patch in the records rather than the norm. Across the 5 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 92.1% of what it originally asked. 60% of them closed below the original ask. A house is not part of a building of comparable apartments, so this benchmark is drawn from house sales across Weeksville. Apartment sales are excluded from it entirely. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Sold vs original ask**: 92.1% of the original ask - **Closed below ask**: 60% of 5 sales - **Listed → in contract**: 51 days (about 7 weeks) - **In contract → closed**: 39 days (about 6 weeks) Across the 5 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 92.1% of what it originally asked. 60% of them closed below the original ask. Half of these homes were in contract within 51 days (about 7 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 5 with a recorded listing date. Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 39 days (about 6 weeks), based on the 5 with both dates recorded. 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. Based on 5 house sales in Weeksville, January 2026 – May 2026. Each figure counts only the sales that recorded the dates it needs, which is why the denominators differ. 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.

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 3013830008. 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.
