Property Description
Brokered by Marcus & Millichap and powered by RealINSIGHT Marketplace, 3942 Barnes Avenue is a seven-unit, 100% rent-stabilized residential building in the Wakefield neighborhood of the Bronx. The 5,451-square-foot property sits on an R5-zoned lot (Block 4848, Lot 40) in Tax Class 2B, with a rent roll totaling $175,477 in annual residential income at current and last legal rents. The clearest path to added value is lease-up: Units 1B and 2R are vacant, with last legal rents of $3,255 and $3,048 per month, well above the $1,664 average of the five occupied units. Two of those occupied units, 1F and 1R, are leased at preferential rents below their legal levels, a gap of approximately $28,865 in annual income. The remaining three units are leased at $1,057 to $1,784 per month, providing a regulated income base beneath the upside. The property is approximately 0.2 miles from the 225th Street station on the 2 and 5 subway lines, with rides to Times Square of roughly 45 minutes, and sits near the White Plains Road retail corridor, Montefiore Medical Center’s Wakefield Campus, and Metro-North commuter rail service.
