Discussion about 264 Water Street in Fulton/Seaport
This building looks amazing, but I've been looking into it and you can't get a mortgage on it. The rear wall is caving in and and they are trying to sue the original owner for the cost to replace it but can't get enough money from the owners so it may not happen. A shame since it's a lovely building.

Why can't you get a mortgage? There was a sale last year of unit 4A where the purchaser obtained a mortgage from Wells Fargo.
30: Maybe the wall issue only came up recently? Perhaps banks are refusing to finance this unless the issue is resolved?
Setting aside the issue with mortgages, I'm not sure it's a good idea to move into a building where a wall is "caving in".
If that's the case you have to wonder why it's not just an insurance claim.
This information is incorrect. The building is over 100 years old and is a landmark. It is undergoing repairs and banks are starting to lend as the financing to fix the repairs is in place. The school next door is amazing and the apartments are like lofts - one of a kind.
So is there an assessment to pay back the loan?
Correct.
Yes, there will be an assessment for the rear facade. $400 for an interest only loan or $966 for a fully amortized loan starting in May 2019.
