A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 15 West 24th Street 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.
15 West 24th Street is a commercial loft building whose large floor plates now hold expansive cooperative apartments. Frederick C. Zobel designed the eleven-story structure for Andrew J. Kerwin Jr.; construction plans published in 1905 identify its original store-and-loft use. Completed in 1906, it served apparel and housewares businesses before its upper floors became residences in 1983.
Architecture and unit composition
The facade has a substantial arched entrance, polished granite columns and ornamental stonework at its base. Brick forms the upper wall, with grouped windows and arcades near the top. The original plot was approximately 52 feet wide, giving the converted interiors unusually broad proportions.
Full-floor homes around 4,000 to 4,150 square feet form the core of the resale inventory. A key-locked elevator opens at a private landing, and north and south exposures serve the long loft plans. Interiors have been configured with several bedrooms, large living areas and work spaces. Individual renovations account for considerable variation within those floor plates.
Building operations
The cooperative operates with a small number of large residences. Its elevator and video-intercom entry support direct access to the floors. The commercial origins remain visible in ceiling heights, broad window openings and the scale of the common structure.
The building is in Class 2 with no recorded tax abatement. Its eleven-story facade and elevator are shared obligations across a comparatively small ownership base. That concentration makes capital work consequential even where each apartment occupies a substantial amount of floor area.

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.

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.
