A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at Ageloff Tower 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.
Ageloff Tower at 172 East 4th Street is the only full-service prewar Art Deco cooperative in the East Village core — Shampan & Shampan's 1929 Art Deco beige-brick gem built by Samuel Ageloff.
What makes it singular is exactly that only-full-service-prewar-Art-Deco-coop-in-the-East-Village-core positioning — a category of one in the neighborhood. The distinction rests on the Shampan & Shampan architectural pedigree and on the Samuel Ageloff developer pedigree, the latter extending to the sister building at 141 East 3rd Street, which together anchor the firm's and developer's East Village Art Deco residential body of work.
Architecture and building operations
Shampan & Shampan's 1929 Art Deco design produced a 12-story beige-brick cooperative with 102-103 apartments. The Art Deco facade ornamentation is preserved across the building's prewar fabric. The sister building at 141 East 3rd Street extends the developer's East Village Art Deco residential portfolio.
Operations: 24-hour doorman; live-in superintendent; fitness center; private storage; bicycle storage.

The latest available filing classified the facade as SWARMP — Safe With A Repair and Maintenance Program: the engineer 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 — the licensed engineer the city requires to sign 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.

Market read. Most recent trades (2025) cleared a median $1,067/sf (floor-adjusted) across 1 sale. Floor-adjusted means each sale is restated to a constant mix of floors, so the figure can differ from the plain median of the sales listed above. Median listing discount 1.8% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy.

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.
