This deal saved residents from large special assessments.” Clarence Court, a 26-unit property located at 628 Harrison St., sold for $3.6 million.

They either became accidental landlords and rented the unit out or were stuck living in the unit. These owners received 25 to 30 percent more in the deconversion than if they would have sold …
