Bring your contractor and create your dream design in one of the most attractive buildings in Brooklyn Heights. This studio faces the rear so it is nice and quiet. The space includes a comfortable living and sleeping area, a separate foyer, kitchen and bath, and two huge closets. Centrally located on Remsen Street between Hicks and Henry, "The Remsen" is a landmarked 1929 building with a distinctive facade and lobby. It is close to seven subway lines and just one stop from Manhattan. It is a block away from the famous Brooklyn Promenade and close to the Brooklyn Bridge Park. Incredibly convenient for everyday living; the building is near Montague street with a grocery store, book shop, liquor store, hardware store, and more than a dozen restaurants. Brooklyn Heights also has a farmer's market, numerous community events and several block parties in the summer. It's a great place to call home. Pet friendly, the building offers both a laundry and bike room to shareholders, as well as a service entrance for deliveries. The concierges accept your packages and the building has a super on-call. After two years the shareholders can rent their apartment with board approval. A 1% flip tax. Electric, cable and wifi are conveniently billed along with the maintenance. There is currently an assessment of $405.90 for completed facade work, through November.
Brooklyn Heights, located between Downtown Brooklyn and Brooklyn Bridge Park, is a historic and residential New York neighborhood with brownstone-lined blocks and a waterfront promenade. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Montague Street near Clinton Street, where independent bookstores, cafes, and small boutiques set a polished, unhurried pace. The Brooklyn Heights Promenade frames postcard views of the Manhattan skyline and the harbor. Landmark rowhouses and prewar co-ops define the streetscape, with quiet garden squares tucked behind stoops. Community pillars include the Brooklyn Historical Society (Center for Brooklyn History), St. Ann & the Holy Trinity Church, and the New York Transit Museum nearby in Boerum Hill.

R6
LH-1
General Residence District
R6 zoning districts are widely mapped in built-up, medium-density areas in Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx. The character of R6 districts can range from neighborhoods with a diverse mix of building types and heights to large-scale tower in the park developments such as Ravenswood in Queens and Homecrest in Brooklyn. Developers can choose between two sets of bulk regulations. Standard height factor regulations, introduced in 1961, produce small multi-family buildings on small zoning lots and, on larger lots, tall buildings that are set back from the street. Optional Quality Housing regulations produce high lot coverage buildings within height limits that often reflect the scale of older, pre-1961 apartment buildings in the neighborhood.
