About the building
149 East 18th Street is part of a small cooperative occupying two houses on the same tax lot. City records date the houses to 1854. Their brick and stone construction belongs to the block's mid-nineteenth-century residential development, before the larger apartment buildings that later appeared around Gramercy Park. The houses sit within the original 1966 historic district.
The apartments include duplex homes with separate living and sleeping levels, wood-burning fireplaces and windows facing the street and rear gardens. The penthouse has elevator access, a terrace and a private roof deck. Other homes have central air conditioning and in-unit laundry. A basement-and-cellar duplex alteration received DOB sign-off in 2008, adding habitable rooms at the lower level.

The retrade record
Lines that have traded more than once in the public record — the building’s appreciation arc, apartment by apartment.
Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00874-0033). 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 on co-ops is not officially recorded, figures shown are approximate.

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.
