A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 150 Franklin 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.
About the building
J. Morgan Slade designed 148–150 Franklin Street as a seven-story warehouse for George P. Slade around 1882–83. More than forty feet wide, the building has masonry walls, cast-iron columns and piers, and a Neo-Grec street front. Historic tenants included grocery businesses, a restaurant-supply company and an import-export firm. Cast-iron framing survives at the base, while brick piers and multicolored brick spandrels organize the upper floors. Granite vault covers remain along the sidewalk.
The cooperative's homes include large loft floors of approximately 2,700 to 3,200 square feet and smaller configurations. Direct keyed elevator access opens into the upper residences. Open living areas allow bedrooms and offices to occupy different portions of the original warehouse floor plates. Renovated homes include central air conditioning and in-home laundry. Some layouts retain two principal bedrooms alongside a separate office despite their substantial overall area.
Local Law 97
This building is below the 25,000 sq ft threshold at which LL97 limits apply to a building on its own. It is still covered if it shares a tax lot or condominium board with buildings totaling over 50,000 sq ft; confirm on DOB’s covered-buildings list.
See full Local Law 97 analysis →Facade safety — Local Law 11
The latest available FISP filing classified the facade as Safe — no repairs were required at that inspection. A filed Safe grade is not a guarantee of current condition: owners still maintain the facade and, where required, observe parapets each year. Future inspection timing (Local Law 49 of 2025 changed the cycle framework from October 1, 2026), repair and any assessment decisions remain building-specific.
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.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00189-0007). Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified in The Roebling Research Library.

What to know if you’re buying
The warehouse exterior includes sidewalk vaults and historic metalwork. Responsibility for the granite vault covers, loading-platform elements and façade restoration belongs in the assessment of this nine-residence cooperative's capital obligations. These features extend the building's maintenance needs beyond the brick walls and residential interiors.

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.
