A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 105 East 19th Street would likely sell for today, what it costs to sell, and what you’d walk away with — reviewed personally against condition, exposures, renovation quality, and the competition actually on the market.
105 East 19th Street is a pre-war Gramercy cooperative on one of the most storied stretches in Manhattan — a six-story elevator building from 1920, sitting on East 19th Street between Park Avenue South and Irving Place, a short walk from the celebrated "Block Beautiful," the eclectic run of remodeled townhouses to the east that a design magazine crowned around 1909. The building itself carries an elegant pre-war exterior, an updated lobby, and the quiet residential character that defines this corner of Gramercy.
For the buyer who wants a genuine Gramercy address with the cost discipline of a co-op rather than a condo, 105 East 19th Street is a clean proposition: a small, pre-war, elevator cooperative on a beautiful block, steps from Gramercy Park, Union Square, and the 4/5/6/N/Q/R/W/L trains, at price points below the condominium tier.
Building operations
The cooperative runs on a characteristically pre-war model: an elevator, laundry in the building, an updated lobby, and a daytime superintendent. There is no full-time doorman — typical and appropriate for a pre-war cooperative of this scale, and a meaningful factor in keeping maintenance charges contained.
As a cooperative, ownership is by shares rather than deed: purchases require board approval and a board interview, financing is capped at a board-set percentage, and pied-à-terre, gifting, guarantor, and co-purchase arrangements are evaluated case by case. The exact financing maximum, any flip tax, pet policy, and current sublet rules vary by board policy and should be confirmed at offer stage.
Architecture and residences
Built in 1920, the building is a six-story pre-war elevator apartment house with an elegant exterior and roughly 24 to 25 residences across some 26,000 square feet. The interiors carry pre-war scale — defined rooms, good proportions, and the layout logic of 1920s apartment living — and the building was first renovated in the 1980s, with an updated lobby among the improvements since. Many individual residences have been renovated over the years.
The modest residence count keeps the building intimate and the operation lean — a boutique cooperative rather than a full-service tower, with the character and contained carrying costs that scale implies.
The Block Beautiful and the block
East 19th Street between Irving Place and Third Avenue was dubbed the "Block Beautiful" by a home-design magazine around 1909, after architect Frederick Sterner remodeled a run of 1850s townhouses into fashionable residences with stucco façades, wide shutters, colored tiles, and other playful touches — work that drew painters and actors and turned the block into an artists' colony in the 1920s and 1930s. 105 East 19th Street sits just west of that stretch, on the same storied street, sharing its quiet, residential, low-rise character between Park Avenue South and Irving Place. To live here is to live on one of Gramercy's most atmospheric corridors.

The latest available FISP filing classified the facade as Safe — no repairs were required at that inspection. Facade inspections run on a fixed five-year cycle; future inspection, repair, and any assessment decisions remain building-specific.
How to read this, and where it comes from
QEWI = Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector — the licensed engineer the city requires to sign the report (the independent expert, not the managing agent).
Penalties shown are amounts DOB assessed against filings on record across 2005–10 to 2025–30. The FISP dataset does not record whether they were paid, contested or remain open, so treat the figure as history rather than a current balance and confirm the building’s standing with the managing agent.

Recent sales
Co-op pricing is read on a per-room basis, and 105 East 19th Street trades as a boutique pre-war Gramercy cooperative — pre-war layouts, an elevator, and contained carrying costs on a storied block. With roughly two dozen residences, resale volume is thin: a small number of closings in an active year. Demand here is driven by the Gramercy address, the East 19th Street character, and the value a co-op structure offers relative to nearby condominiums. When underwriting a purchase or a list price, capture the room count, the floor, the exposure, and the renovation condition rather than relying on a neighborhood average.

What to know if you’re buying
This is a cooperative, so the path is a board package and interview, a financing cap set by the board, and underwriting of the building's financials and house rules. Note the operational realities up front: this is a boutique pre-war building with a daytime superintendent rather than a full-service tower, which suits some buyers and rules out others. Confirm the current sublet, pied-à-terre, and pet policy, and any flip tax, at offer stage. Review the co-op's financials, reserve, and any planned capital work, particularly given the building's age.
The reasons to buy are the block and the value: a genuine Gramercy address on a beautiful stretch of East 19th Street near the Block Beautiful, pre-war scale, and a cooperative cost structure that keeps the entry point and carrying costs below the condominium peers nearby.
What to know if you’re selling
The story is the location and the pre-war character. The Gramercy address, the elegant 1920s exterior, and the storied East 19th Street setting near the Block Beautiful are the differentiators — and they sell to a buyer who wants downtown-adjacent history and is comfortable with a boutique co-op. Pricing is an apartment-specific exercise: room count, floor, light, and condition drive the number more than any block average. We position the Gramercy and East 19th Street narrative, prepare the buyer for the co-op process, and benchmark against the right comparable tier of pre-war Gramercy cooperatives.

How to read the facts on this page. Items attributed to an offering plan describe the building as it was offered at that filing — unit mix, square footage, the amenity program as planned. They are not a statement about how the building operates today. Tax and compliance figures are sourced separately to current City records and carry their own dates. House rules, staffing and fee policy can change by board resolution without any public filing: treat every policy line here as a starting point for diligence and confirm it with the managing agent. Where this page compares one building or neighborhood to another, that is our analysis of the recorded record — it names the measure, the period and the sample it rests on, and it is an observation about medians rather than a prediction about any particular apartment.
