Clinton Hill is a Brooklyn neighborhood in ZIP codes 11205 and 11238. PropertyShark counts 4,381 residential units there: 1,549 co-op, 1,442 condo, 1,212 two-to-four family and 163 single-family.
PropertyShark reports a Clinton Hill median sale price of $985,000 for Q3 2026, down 16.9% year over year, on 58 sales. Redfin reports $1,464,590 for the three months ending September 2026, up 0.5%, with 64 homes sold in September and a median of 60 days on market against 39 a year earlier. The two figures use different windows and property mixes, so they should not be blended. PropertyShark’s median is pulled down by co-ops, 27 of the 58 sales at a $725,000 median, while 21 condos sold at $1.6 million and 10 houses at $3.5 million.
For fiscal year 2026/27, the window has closed. The NYC Tax Commission’s forms state that Class 1 applications were due by 5:00 PM on March 16, 2026 and Class 2, 3 and 4 applications by 5:00 PM on March 2, 2026, with no extensions and no email or fax filing. The same form says an Article 7 court proceeding for this cycle must begin before October 25, 2026. The 2027/28 deadlines were not yet posted when this page was written, so check nyc.gov/taxcommission before filing. Joseph Ranola is a real estate broker, not an attorney or tax representative, so deadlines and court filings belong with a tax attorney.
It may limit the benefit. NYC Finance states that Class 1 assessments can rise no more than 6% per year and 20% over five years. When the cap holds an assessed value below 6% of market value, lowering the market value estimate may not reduce the bill. Clinton Hill has 163 single-family and 1,212 two-to-four family properties that fall under this rule.
They are valued as rental buildings, not by unit sale prices. The Tax Commission’s instructions say Class 2 and 4 condominiums use Form TC109, are valued by the income approach as one rental building, and that co-ops and condos must include an income and expense statement on Form TC203. The tentative assessment is presumed correct and the applicant carries the burden of proof. Disagreeing with the estimate or seeing an increase from last year is not enough by itself.
