A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 158 Chambers 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
158 Chambers Street began as an Italianate commercial building, with a cast-iron storefront supporting stone-faced upper floors. Historical records document its opening in 1856 and early use by the mirror manufacturer Richards Kingsland & Co. Elliptically arched windows, molded surrounds and a bracketed cornice remain part of the façade. Habitat Magazine dates its conversion to a five-loft residential cooperative to the late 1970s.
The roughly 26-foot-wide building contains large loft accommodation with flexible internal partitions. Uppermost space has included a mezzanine and skylight, while the roof is reached through the shared circulation. The building's small scale and elevator serve a limited group of owners. Successive renovations have altered individual layouts, including the relationship between private upper-floor space and access to the roof.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00137-0027) 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.

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.
