About the building
143 Greene Street was designed by DeLemos & Cordes and built between August 1887 and February 1888 for Lippman Toplitz. Its five-story, three-bay façade combines brick, stone and iron, including work from the Atlantic Iron Works. The commercial building later became a residential cooperative within a condominium structure. A preservation campaign completed in 1990 under Li/Saltzman Architects included roof replacement, masonry pointing, cast-iron restoration and window work.
The lofts retain broad, deep floor plates, with upper accommodation reaching approximately twenty-five feet in width and ninety feet in depth. Ceiling heights around thirteen feet support large open living and work areas. Some accommodation has been offered specifically as joint living-work quarters for artists, making the legal use of the space part of its residential history.

What to know if you’re buying
A condominium tax lot here does not mean that an apartment purchase conveys an individual condominium deed: the residential interest trades through cooperative ownership. Financing and approval should be arranged for that structure. The artist live-work description also calls for confirmation of the purchased space’s authorized occupancy and any applicable non-artist pathway before a buyer commits to residential use.

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.
