It features: - All units are Rent Stabilized, except Unit 4L (Formerly Rent Controlled) - Two vacant apartments - Unit 1R (Rent Stabilized, Vacant): Ideal for owner occupancy.

Live for free while your tenants cover your mortgage. This kind of flexible, mixed-use residential setup is increasingly rare in Brooklyn - especially with vacancy, upside, and control already in place.
