About the building
16–18 Jay Street occupies a 1907 warehouse designed by Franklin Baylies for Hugh Getty. Its neo-Renaissance exterior combines brick and stone with cast-iron elements and a metal cornice. The building stands on cobblestoned Jay Street and was converted to condominium ownership in 1999. The former warehouse's broad footprint supports unusually large homes within a six-residence association.
The apartments include full-floor lofts, a duplex maisonette with a private garden and a multilevel penthouse with terraces. Exposed brick, cast-iron columns and timber beams remain within the interiors. The maisonette has an atrium-like living space with double-height glazing, while conventional loft floors retain long living and dining areas with oversized windows. Private keyed elevators serve the residences, and basement storage accompanies the apartments.

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 1-00143-7503; each condominium apartment is its own tax lot). 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 from recorded condo declarations and offering plans.

What to know if you’re buying
The maisonette's garden and the penthouse terraces are integral to very different multilevel layouts. Their structural and waterproofing boundaries carry particular weight in a six-residence building, where major common repairs are divided among a small ownership group.

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.
