Fresh 2026 data: The overall median sale price in Kensington, Brooklyn (ZIP 11218) is approximately $580,000 as of mid-2026, with condos at a median near $914,000 (up about 12.4% year over year) and co-ops near $421,000. When your NYC Notice of Property Value implies a market value above what comparable Kensington sales actually support, that gap is the foundation of a property tax grievance.

How does a Kensington property tax grievance actually work?

Joseph Ranola has closed $40M+ in Brooklyn and Staten Island real estate, and that daily comparable-sales work is exactly what a grievance turns on. The NYC Department of Finance mails a Notice of Property Value each January. If the assessed market value is higher than recent Kensington sales justify, an owner challenges it with the NYC Tax Commission, generally by the March 1 deadline for one- to three-family homes. Joseph Ranola pulls the closed comps on your block so your case rests on real numbers.

Kensington is a central-Brooklyn neighborhood in ZIP 11218, bordered by Windsor Terrace, Borough Park, and Ditmas Park, served by the F and G trains along Church Avenue. Its mix of pre-war co-ops, condos, and one- to three-family homes means assessments vary widely block to block, and a well-documented comparable set is what separates a successful grievance from a rejected one.

“I had the absolute pleasure of listing my home sale with Joseph Ranola. His attention to detail, professionalism and motivation to sell my home was more than expected in a realtor.”
