800 Barbey Street Gets 10-Unit Filing 72 Days After $725K Deed

A buyer paid $725,000 for 800 Barbey Street in East New York, Brooklyn, and filed plans for a 3-story, 10-unit building 72 days later. For a developer pricing small Brooklyn infill, the filing shows how fast a buyer can go from closing to a plan under review.

Why it matters

Speed from deed to filing is a cheap read on a buyer’s intent. The deed names 800 Barbey St LLC as the buyer, with a deed date of July 6, 2026. The Department of Buildings filing at the same address landed on September 16. That is about ten weeks, which suggests the design work was largely done before closing.

For anyone bidding on nearby lots, it also sets a reference point: a buyer was willing to pay for the site on the assumption of 10 units, not a one- or two-family rebuild.

The numbers

• Deed: $725,000, recorded July 17, 2026, with an individual as seller and 800 Barbey St LLC as buyer (ACRIS document 2026070900673001).
• Filing: DOB NOW new-building job B01452489-I1, dated September 16, 2026, proposing 3 stories and 10 dwelling units.
• Size: the filing lists about 6,327 square feet of total construction floor area.
• Land cost: $725,000 across 10 units works out to $72,500 per unit, before construction, financing or fees.
• Status: the DOB record showed the filing under plan examiner review as of October 2, 2026.

A filing is a proposal. It is not an approval or a permit, and the record does not show construction financing or a start date.

What’s next

The next records to watch are DOB’s review outcome and any permit issuance, then a construction mortgage recorded in ACRIS. If those appear, the 800 Barbey deal would move from filing to financed project. Until then, treat it as a signal of pricing and speed rather than a started building.
