About the building
The Claremont at Union Square places five residences above a commercial base on University Place, just south of East 14th Street. The Claremont Group developed the condominium, and Arpad Baksa designed its exterior. Small rusticated accent blocks give the facade texture around its openings. The condominium opened in 2004, with initial residential closings following in 2005.
The homes are full-floor layouts reached by a key-locked elevator. Typical interiors are roughly 1,900–2,200 square feet, with a larger penthouse at the top. The floor-through configuration allows living and sleeping spaces to be separated across the building's depth. Storage and laundry within the apartments support the building's small-scale residential program, while the ground-floor commercial property remains a separate ownership interest.

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 FISP filing classified the facade as Safe — no repairs were required at that inspection. A filed Safe grade is not a guarantee of current condition: owners still maintain the facade and, where required, observe parapets each year. Future inspection timing (Local Law 49 of 2025 changed the cycle framework from October 1, 2026), repair and any assessment decisions remain building-specific.
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 condominium has five residential owners and a substantial commercial component. A lender's review of the project's commercial share, and the declaration's division of elevator and exterior costs, matter alongside the individual apartment's finances. The small residential count concentrates decisions about shared repairs among a handful of owners.

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.
