About the building
17 East 17th Street was built in 1911–12 as a store-and-loft building to designs by George & Edward Blum. Its brick, terra-cotta and stone façade sits just west of Union Square. The condominium offering was accepted in 2008; a later alteration divided two duplexes into four apartments, producing the current five-residence layout, with DOB sign-off in 2019. Commercial space remains at the base.
The main apartment floors contain two-bedroom homes of approximately 1,580 square feet, with south-facing living spaces and bedrooms toward the north. Keyed elevators open directly into the homes. Above them, a roughly 3,970-square-foot triplex penthouse has five bedrooms, substantial skylighting and about 1,500 square feet of outdoor space, including a private rooftop pool.

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 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.

What to know if you’re buying
The private rooftop pool is an unusual installation above a five-home condominium. Responsibility for its structure, waterproofing, insurance and access for repairs should be allocated explicitly between the penthouse and the association, since a failure could affect the residences below.

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.
