600 & 610 DeKalb Avenue Condos: What the Offering Plan Says

Updated · 6 min read

600 & 610 DeKalb Avenue is a new two-wing, nine-story condo in Bedford-Stuyvesant with 70 large apartments, 12 of which the sponsor keeps as rentals. Its offering plan shows asking prices of about $1.1 million to $3.5 million, common charges under $1,500 a month, property taxes that run about three times the common charges, no staff on payroll and no pets.

In brief: The 600 & 610 DeKalb Avenue Condominium is a new building in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, at the corner of DeKalb and Nostrand Avenues. It has two nine-story wings with 70 apartments, mostly three- and four-bedroom homes with balconies. The plan uses no marketing name. What sets it apart: the sponsor is keeping 12 units as rentals and only has to sell 11, the building has no employees and no pets, and it's one piece of a larger complex with about 250 rental apartments next door.

What's Specific to It

Listing photos of 600 & 610 DeKalb Avenue can show you the rooms. The offering plan, the document the developer filed with the New York Attorney General, tells you how the building will be run and what you agree to when you buy. New to these documents? Start with what a condo offering plan is.

At a Glance

Finishes

The plan says little about finishes. It names few brands and doesn't describe floors, counters or bathroom fixtures.

Kitchens and laundry

Heating, cooling and windows

Compare with NYC condo heating and cooling systems and in-unit washer-dryers.

Amenities

The condo itself has almost no shared amenities. What it offers is mostly private outdoor space and storage:

Good to know: the neighboring rental building (85 Kosciusko Street) holds a courtyard, a bike room and an 11th-floor roof terrace with an enclosed, unfurnished recreation room of about 579 sq ft. Residents reach them through that building's lobby and elevators, and use them for a monthly fee set by its owner. There's no gym or pool. Compare with amenities by building size.

Staffing and Services

The condo is not expected to have any employees. Work is handled through service contracts:

Each floor has a garbage chute, and a porter brings refuse out on pickup days. See where common charges go for context.

What It Costs to Run

The sponsor projects a first-year budget of about $519,000 (October 2025 to September 2026). With no staff on payroll, it's a lean budget for 70 homes. The biggest lines:

Budget lineApprox. first-year cost
Insurance$107,000
Water and sewer$88,000
Janitor and cleaning$72,000
Reserve fund$52,000
Management$50,000
Common-area electricity$48,000

Insurance is about a fifth of the budget. Common charges run roughly $400 a month for the smallest homes to about $1,460 for the largest duplex.

Property taxes are the bigger cost. The plan projects about $1,200 to $4,300 a month per unit once the building is assessed at its finished value, and warns taxes will rise materially from the partial-year figures. Read more on common charges, estimating condo property taxes and 421-a tax abatements.

Good to know: 10% of every common charge payment goes into a reserve fund for major repairs. At closing you pay a working capital contribution of two months' common charges, plus $2,500 toward the sponsor's cost of forming the condo. See the working capital contribution and condo reserve funds.

Fine Print Worth Knowing

Who's Behind It

The plan doesn't name an interior designer. The sponsor is building the two neighboring rental buildings on the same timeline.

Common Questions

Does 600 & 610 DeKalb Avenue allow pets?

No. The plan bars pets from the building, other than service animals.

How much are common charges at 600 & 610 DeKalb Avenue?

Under the sponsor's first-year projection, roughly $400 to $1,460 a month depending on the unit. Projected property taxes are about three times that.

Does the building have a gym or roof deck?

No gym. Residents can use a roof terrace, courtyard and bike room in the rental building next door for a monthly fee, and many apartments have their own balconies or roof terraces.

Where this comes from: the building's offering plan (CD250056), filed with the New York Attorney General, including its Schedule A price list, Schedule B first-year budget and architect's report. Prices are the sponsor's offering prices, not sales. Updated October 2026.
