1 Hanson Place was built in 1929 — roughly 97 years old. This is a condominium of 197 units — each unit is its own tax lot with its own bill. Search with a unit number for unit-level figures. For property-tax purposes it falls under Class 2 (residential buildings with four or more units, condos and co-ops), taxed at 12.439% of a taxable value based on 45% of the city’s income-derived market value.
City landmark records describe it as a neo-Romanesque bank dating to 1927 - 1929, originally used as commercial, bank. It was designed by Halsey, McCormack & Helmer for Williamsburgh Savings Bank. It stands within the Brooklyn Academy of Music Historic District.
The building already exceeds what current residential zoning would allow (13.48 built FAR vs. a residential maximum of 10.00) — typically a grandfathered or overbuilt structure that could not be rebuilt to this size under today’s rules. Those figures are for residential use — a community-facility use (a doctor’s office, clinic, or school) raises the ceiling to 15.00 FAR, and the lot also carries a commercial allowance of 15.00 FAR. With 197 units in a building of this age, some apartments are likely rent-stabilized — worth verifying with DHCR before purchase.
