147 Third Avenue is a 1960 postwar cooperative on the corner of Third Avenue and East 15th Street, at the Gramercy / East Village / Stuyvesant Square border. The building is marketed under both 147 Third Avenue and 201 East 15th Street; both refer to the same corner building and cooperative corporation, and listings generally appear under 201 East 15th.
It is a straightforward, well-located postwar co-op — an accessible entry point in a neighborhood that pulls demand from Gramercy, the East Village, and Union Square. The value proposition is location and price rather than architectural distinction.

Facade safety — Local Law 11
The latest available FISP filing classified the facade as Safe — no repairs were required at that inspection. Facade inspections run on a fixed five-year cycle; future inspection, repair, and any assessment decisions remain building-specific.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00897-0001) and verified listing data. Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified by The Roebling Team research desk. Not all transactions cross-verify with ACRIS records — sponsor and LLC purchases sometimes record at stipulated values rather than market price; square footage on co-ops is not officially recorded, figures shown are approximate.
What to know if you’re buying
Search both addresses. The building is marketed as both 147 Third Avenue and 201 East 15th Street — one building, one cooperative.
Location is the driver. The corner sits at the intersection of Gramercy, the East Village, and Stuyvesant Square, near Union Square transit.
Service is light-touch. There is no doorman; factor that into your comparison with full-service peers.
Confirm the policy framework at diligence. Pet, sublet, and pied-à-terre terms should be verified against current house rules.
