Item 5.   Other Events

     On June 14, 1994, a subsidiary of BRT Realty Trust ("BRT")
     indirectly sold for cash the fee interest of a property
     located in midtown Manhattan ("Property") to One Liberty
     Properties Inc. ("One Liberty"), a related party, for a
     consideration of $5,250,000.  The transaction and sales
     price were approved by the Board of Trustees of BRT,
     including the independent trustees, subject to receipt of an
     independent real estate appraisal.  After receipt of an
     independent real estate appraisal from Cushman & Wakefield
     substantiating the purchase price of $5,250,000, the
     transaction was completed, resulting in a gain to BRT of
     approximately $687,000.

     The Property was sold subject to a long term net lease with
     a current annual rent of $550,000, which annual rent
     increases by $50,000 every five years (the next increase in
     1999). The lease is commonly referred to as a triple net
     lease, with the tenant being responsible for taxes,
     utilities, insurance and repairs (structural and non-
     structural).  The Property consists of a thirteen-story plus
     penthouse elevator building and a seven-story elevator
     building containing a total of 126 apartments, 11 stores and
     one office.  For a period of ten years from the closing, BRT
     will receive fifty (50%) percent of any premium which One
     Liberty receives under the lease as a result of the
     conversion of the leasehold position to cooperative
     ownership.

     The transaction, including the price, was recommended to the
     Board of Trustees by Fredric H. Gould, the Chairman of the
     Board of Trustees, Israel Rosenzweig, President and Jeffrey
     Gould, Executive Vice President.  It was recommended by
     these officers after the asset was valued, taking into
     consideration the rental stream to be paid to the fee
     position during the remaining term of the lease and the type
     and location of the property, subject to receipt of an
     independent appraisal. The entire consideration was paid in
     cash, thereby affording BRT the ability to pay off a prior
     lien of $2,654,960 against this asset and to reduce its bank
     debt by approximately $1,600,000.

     Fredric H. Gould, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of BRT
     is also Chairman of the Board of One Liberty, Marshall Rose,
     Vice Chairman of BRT, is Vice Chairman of One Liberty and
     Matthew Gould, Vice President of BRT, is President of One
     Liberty.  In addition, Arthur Hurand, a member of the Board
     of Trustees of BRT, is a director of One Liberty, Israel
     Rosenzweig and Nathan Kupin, Trustees of BRT are Vice
     Presidents of One Liberty and Simeon Brinberg, David W.
