Bldg at 342 E 119th St

1) The building's tax abatement will expire soon and monthlies will go up significantly. You can figure out how much exactly by pulling tax bill for this and the sister building (333 and 342 119TH), multiply by your shares, divide by total shares in the coop, and divide by 12 months.
2) Monthlies are already high for a non-doorman, tax abated building, due to a sizeable mortgage.
On the other hand, coops in the area are much cheaper than condos, and this is construction from this century!

the area is always up and coming in the last 15 years, but looks like the whole city has a halt now

Apartment valuations doubled in that time frame based on price history in the building. A lot of appreciation has already happened. But 2brs are still much cheaper than a similar one in a more desirable area of Manhattan. Big part of the story was Q line extension which was promised but I am guessing it is no longer coming due to budget issues in NYC.

Living in that area is a bit challenging
