A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at The Waverly Building 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.
Known as The Waverly Building, 147 Waverly Place was constructed in 1912 as a commercial loft building and converted to residential condominiums in 2006. Its distinctive footprint follows the oblique angle of its corner site, giving the building an unusual and memorable presence at the eastern edge of the West Village.
The building sits within a pocket of the Village that is surrounded by landmark blocks, quiet streets and a small park, a short walk from Washington Square Park and Sheridan Square. The residential conversion preserved the character of the original buff-brick structure while delivering full-service, loft-scaled homes.
As a boutique full-service condominium in a prime Village location, the building draws pricing consistent with converted early-20th-century loft product. Apartment-level values vary with floor, exposure and layout.
Architecture and building operations
Designed by the firm Jardine, Kent & Hill, the buff-brick building carries large multi-paned windows and a small cornice set two floors above a prominent bandcourse. Its shape reflects the angled corner parcel on which it stands. The 2006 conversion produced loft-scaled condominium residences behind the historic facade.
Operations: The building offers a 24-hour doorman and concierge service, a full-time superintendent, a roof terrace with Village and skyline views, and basement storage.

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.
How to read this, and where it comes from
QEWI = Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector — the licensed engineer the city requires to sign 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.
