101 Lafayette Ave

The Griffin is a 17-story pre‑war cooperative completed in 1931, originally built as a luxury hotel and now converted into 45 residential units composed mainly of studios and one-bedroom apartments. The building’s brick and classic art‑deco lobby recall its era; inside many apartments retain high ceilings, original casement windows and hardwood floors alongside renovated kitchens and bathrooms. Common areas include a staffed 24‑hour doorman desk, grand elevator access, a live‑in superintendent, central laundry room, bike storage and rentable private storage. Several units feature small private outdoor spaces or terraces and some high‑floor residences enjoy open western or skyline views. Exterior grounds are anchored by a modest planted garden and the property occupies a tree‑lined block directly adjacent to Fort Greene Park. Pet policies are flexible and the co‑op generally permits pied‑a‑terres plus subletting under established conditions. With immediate access to multiple subway lines and nearby cultural destinations, the building blends pre‑war character, convenient services and a compact amenity set tailored to urban living in Fort Greene.
