A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 115 Allen 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.
About the building
115 Allen Street combines a late-nineteenth-century brick structure with a conspicuous gray metal-clad addition above it. CAN Resources designed the residential redevelopment, with Omer Fenik serving as architect of record. Work was permitted in June 2004, condominium sales began in 2005, and final DOB signoff followed in December 2008. The project created four full-floor apartments and a multilevel penthouse above commercial premises.
Large windows in the upper addition contrast in scale with the older brick frontage below. The floor-through apartments have exposed masonry, open living areas and private elevator entry, with selected homes opening to rear terraces. The penthouse occupies the rooftop addition and has private outdoor areas across its levels. Central air and fireplaces appear in the residences. The building stands just off Delancey Street, allowing some windows to look along the wider street corridor.

Local Law 97
This building is below the 25,000 sq ft threshold at which LL97 limits apply to a building on its own. It is still covered if it shares a tax lot or condominium board with buildings totaling over 50,000 sq ft; confirm on DOB’s covered-buildings list.
See full Local Law 97 analysis →Facade safety — Local Law 11
The latest available filing classified the facade as SWARMP — Safe With A Repair and Maintenance Program: the inspector (QEWI) identified conditions requiring monitoring or repair, with repairs due by the deadline stated in the filing. The scope, timeline, and how the building funds the work are building-specific — we review the filings and board materials for you.
How to read this, and where it comes from
QEWI = Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector — a licensed professional engineer or registered architect who meets DOB’s FISP qualifications and signs the report (the independent expert, not the managing agent).
Penalties shown are amounts DOB assessed against filings on record across 2010–15 to 2020–25. 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.

What to know if you’re buying
The rooftop addition and original structure share one association. Roof and terrace waterproofing, the joint between the older masonry and newer enclosure, and the commercial space’s share of common expenses all require building-specific allocations. Five residential owners support that work alongside the commercial owner.

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.
