A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at The Stanwick 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.
The Stanwick combines a small collection of full-floor loft condominiums with a working Off-Broadway theater. Its twelve-story structure dates to 1913 and was designed by Frederick C. Zobel. The Irish Repertory Theatre has occupied the base since 1995.
The residential floors are substantial: the recurring loft plans are around 3,000 square feet, while the building contains only ten residences. DOB alteration filings from 2000 document residential conversion work on several upper floors.
Architecture and unit composition
High ceilings, large windows and long stretches of exposed brick carry the building's commercial loft origins into the apartments. Full-floor plans provide broad living and dining areas, with bedrooms arranged within the depth of the floor plate. A keyed elevator opens directly into the residential layouts.
The top of the building includes a penthouse configuration. Across the standard floors, renovations have produced different bedroom arrangements within broadly similar footprints. In-home laundry and central air conditioning are among the residential features.
The theater occupies a separate lower-level use within the same structure. A Garrison Architects renovation altered the auditorium and mezzanine, introduced a balcony and improved sightlines. The theater reopened in 2016 after an almost two-year closure. That work concerned the performance space; the upper floors continued as residences.
Building operations
The residential amenities include a common roof deck, video intercom and an off-site superintendent. The keyed elevator is the principal access route for the full-floor homes. With a theater below, the building has both residential circulation and a public-facing performance operation.
Its two commercial lots and ten residential lots receive different tax classifications. The association allocates building expenses across both uses.

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 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.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00797-7503; each condominium apartment is its own tax lot). Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified in The Roebling Research Library. Not all transactions cross-verify with ACRIS records — sponsor and LLC purchases sometimes record at stipulated values rather than market price; square footage from recorded condo declarations and offering plans.

What to know if you’re buying
The theater is a continuing building use. For a lower-floor purchase, assess the relationship between the residence and the performance spaces, including sound isolation, event hours and the commercial share of common expenses. A completed auditorium renovation says nothing about how sound isolation performs in any one apartment.

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.
