158 Atlantic Avenue was built in 1871 — roughly 155 years old. 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-Grec bank dating to 1871, originally used as commercial, bank. It was designed by E. L. Roberts. It stands within the Cobble Hill Historic District.
The building uses about 72% of the density its zoning allows (3.47 built FAR vs. a maximum of 4.80) — roughly 5,333 sq ft of unused development rights, which can matter for renovations, expansions, or air-rights value. With 21 units in a building of this age, some apartments are likely rent-stabilized — worth verifying with DHCR before purchase.
