To those idiots who bought an apartment without measuring the rooms must be really foolish. I guess they like most of the residents there are first time buyers. For example wouldn’t you measure the rooms to see if your furniture fit! or to see if your new furniture would fit…. no I guess not, since their parents gave them the deposit money. Don’t fret your mortgage company did the appraisal and that was your professional review of the apartment. So there is not a court in the land that will rule in your favor. Guess what you are waisting Daddy’s money on the lawyers too.

I live in 110 Livingston, and my space is almost exactly the same as the floor plan (off by 6 inches here, 4 inches there, etc). This is the reality of buying a new development in NYC. This video piece is trying to make something out of nothing. Speaking to residents around the building, and at Condo Board meetings, this is not an issue. In many new developments, you can’t see your finished space before you put down your deposit. Some developments in Bk (One Hanson, Bell Tell, etc) have units that are moving slowly, so you CAN see your unit before you buy. The units in 110 Livingston moved too quickly, because they are great spaces, in a great building, at a reasonable price. (OK, so I’m biased) My one bit of advise: There are 2 types of apartments in 110: the original building, and the glass units built on top. I really think the units in the original building are SO much better, there are issues with the glass units, windows can’t be cleaned, odd layouts, etc. So, stick to the units in the 1920s part of the building, and you will love living here! I’m sure this 2 bedroom will move quickly.

Hi, my name is Kevin, I’m the owner of Apt 11D, the unit for sale in 110 Livingston. My family loves our apartment, we’re selling because I just accepted a job in Portland, Or., and we’re relocating. We’ve only been in 110 Livingston for 6 months! Anyway, if you’re looking to buy, we’re having an open house this Sunday, 1-3. Come see for yourself. I think it’s a great space in a great building, and we’re sorry to have to leave so soon. One important note: In July 08, the taxes go DOWN to $117, when the J-52 Tax abatement (15yr) starts.

Kevin - thanks for the comment. The apt looks nice. Given all the changes happening in downtown Brooklyn, it’s a good buy. Good point about the tax abatement that starts in 7 months. I would purchase at 110 if I had the money.
Jack - this happens all the time in new developments where buyers only have floor plans. granted that some finished condos aren’t exact as stated in the plans, that’s the risk the buyers are taking.
Chris - I’ve seen that the top floor ceilings aren’t as high as the lower floors, especially compared to 2-4 floor. But I bet the top floors have great views.

OMG, could the reporter’s voice and tone be any more annoying???

I think it’s a stretch to call her a “reporter”.
Either way, nice space.

Annoying perhaps, but at least she has some life. You know who is the WORST? That chick with the stupid shiny black trench coat on “Secrets of New York.” I love the content of that show but I literally can’t watch her. She has this robotic monotone that also sounds a little hostile, I guess that’s her way of trying to make something sound important. Would be a great show if it weren’t for her.

Agreed, the “secrets of new york” lady is pretty bad too!
