83-40 Austin St

A mid-century, seven-story cooperative built in 1956, this residential building offers predominantly one- and two-bedroom layouts across a low-rise footprint. The architecture reflects postwar restrained detailing with practical brick elevations and modest decorative trim. Interiors vary unit-to-unit but commonly include high ceilings, crown moldings, beamed ceilings in some residences, formal dining areas or eat-in kitchens, and original-to-updated finishes such as marble, granite or quartz counters. Many apartments feature windowed kitchens, walk-in or custom closets, and private balconies in select units. Shared spaces are functional and resident-focused: an elevator serves all floors, a furnished roof deck and landscaped outdoor patio provide open-air social space, and an upgraded lobby and laundry facilities support daily convenience. On-site services and storage include a live-in superintendent, bike and storage rooms, a fitness center, building storage and a mailbox area. Parking is available via an indoor garage with a wait list and fee; there is a communal garage laundry room and reserved storage lockers for a charge. Pet policies are permissive within weight/breed limits. Situated on a tree-lined block of Austin Street near shops, theaters, restaurants and multiple transit options (LIRR and subway lines nearby), the building is positioned for transit-oriented, neighborhood living with a mix of original character and ongoing renovations.
