About the building
Berger & Baylies designed 109 Reade Street in 1885 for the estate of Richard Ray, with packing-box dealer Patrick Ryan leasing the new store-and-loft building. The 25-foot brick façade has three window bays, stone trim and surviving cast-iron storefront elements. Segmental window arches and geometric detailing identify the neo-Grec design. The property became a residential condominium with a commercial ground floor in 1987, five years before the historic district designation.
The residences use the former loft floor plates, with typical full-floor homes around 1,500 square feet and a later upper-level enlargement. An alteration designed by James Harb added a mezzanine to the top loft; DOB signed off that work in May 2017. The building has an elevator. Its street frontage remains part of the historic loft block, while the upper residence reflects later changes above the original commercial structure.

What to know if you’re buying
The top loft includes a documented later enlargement. Its mezzanine changes the usable layout within a building whose other residences occupy older floor plates. For the association, elevator and exterior restoration costs are shared across only five residential interests and the commercial component; common-interest percentages determine each owner’s contribution.

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.
