A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 131 Perry 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.
Robert D. Kohn designed this warehouse for Seaman Brothers in 1905. Its brick tower, arched openings and corbeling borrow from medieval Italian civic buildings. The conversion retained substantial loft volumes behind that industrial exterior, including high brick-vaulted ceilings. The cooperative occupies a midblock site near the Hudson River, with two apartments on typical residential floors.
Architecture and unit composition
The façade has three distinct sections: a three-window center and narrower bays at either side. The western bay ends in a two-story arched tower. Bands of corbeled brick connect the tower to the central and eastern sections, while segmental arches recur over the windows.
Inside, apartments include two-bedroom lofts with broadly proportioned living rooms, split-bedroom arrangements and multiple exposures. Several measured homes span roughly 1,450 to 1,675 square feet. Exposed brick, tall casement windows and wood-burning fireplaces occur within the inventory. Some homes have Juliet balconies or private terraces; outdoor access is not uniform across the cooperative.
A lobby and entry renovation completed in 2022 removed two interior steps by raising the lobby floor. A steel curtain wall replaced the former wood storefront, and stone steps and a ramp rebuilt the approach from the sidewalk. The work joined an accessible entrance to the historic masonry shell.
Building operations
The cooperative is self-managed, with a part-time superintendent. Shared facilities include an elevator, laundry and a common roof deck. Storage is available, with separate charges associated with some private storage spaces. The roof deck is a shared amenity distinct from terraces belonging to individual apartments.
Policy framework
Financing: Up to 80%, with a 20% minimum down payment — confirm with the managing agent. Pets: Permitted — confirm with the managing agent. In-unit washer/dryer: Permitted — confirm with the managing agent.

The latest available filing classified the facade as Unsafe — conditions requiring prompt corrective action. The owner must install any public protection the inspector specifies (a sidewalk shed, construction fence or structural netting, depending on the condition) and make the repairs. Review the subsequent filings, the repair status, and the building’s board and financial materials — we pull the repair scope and funding picture 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 2005–10 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.

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.
