A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 172 North 10th 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.
This building began as industrial space, not ground-up construction. The Department of Finance classed the lot as a factory building through 2014/15, and a sportswear company owned it in the 1970s and early 1980s, per ACRIS. The 2005 rezoning put the block in a mixed-use district that allowed apartments as of right. In December 2012 the sponsor entity bought the building, and in 2013 it filed to convert the three-story commercial structure to residential use and add two floors.
DOB records show a long structural scope: shoring, underpinning and bracing for the old walls, and a separate job replacing floor joists and repairing exterior cracks. The final certificate of occupancy came at the end of 2017.
Thirteen of the 14 residences closed between late May and August 2015, and the last in January 2017, per ACRIS. Those historical closings do not establish current sponsor or accessory-unit holdings, later reacquisitions, or whether separately named purchasers are unrelated. Review current ownership records and the condominium’s sponsor-interest schedule.
The central fact for a buyer is taxes. Most Northside condominiums of this era were built new and carried a 421-a exemption. 172 North 10th Street was an alteration, and no exemption shows on the roll for any unit in any year on record. The tax bill has always been the full bill.
Architecture and unit composition
The 68-foot building sits on a 75-by-100-foot lot. Gene Kaufman, the architect of record, also designed both condominiums on the block directly north, 165 North 10th Street (The Decora), which faces this building across North 10th Street, and 170 North 11th Street (Lucent), as well as 135 North 11th Street a block west.
The unit mix, from Department of Finance unit areas:
- Floors 1 through 3, lines A–D: four residences per floor. Sizes run from about 490 square feet (1D) to about 2,300 square feet (2C), with most between 1,150 and 1,700 square feet.
- 4PH and 5PH: one residence on each of the two floors added in 2014, about 2,320 square feet each.
A 2024 DOB permit for a pergola on a private roof area confirms at least one private roof terrace. Confirm what outdoor space goes with any unit against the declaration's floor plans.
The nine parking units are separate condominium units, each with its own unit identity, tax bill and common-charge allocation. There are fewer spaces than residences, and the sponsor sold most spaces on the same deed as an apartment. Most spaces are held by residence owners in the building. A space is included only if the contract and conveyance identify that parking unit; it may be conveyed with the apartment in one deed or through a separate instrument, subject to the declaration.
Building operations
No budget, financial statements or house rules were located in the records reviewed. With 14 residences and no documented staff, confirm the operating model — managing agent, contracted services — and the percentage interests that allocate common charges. Ask for the current budget, the two most recent financial statements, the reserve balance and any assessment history. The shell is about a century old; ask about the original masonry walls, the roof, the added floors and any planned façade or waterproofing work.
The tax position
No 421-a, J-51 or other exemption appears on any unit on the Department of Finance roll, from the first condominium roll in 2016/17 through 2026/27. 421-a was the state program that exempted the added value of new construction for a fixed term. J-51 covered certain rehabilitation work. Neither appears here. The only reduction on the roll is the co-op/condo abatement, which applies only to units owned as a primary residence. Owners who live in their unit should confirm they are enrolled.
There is no exemption running off and no scheduled step-up. Against Northside buildings still carrying a 421-a benefit, compare full-tax figures on both sides.

172 North 10th Street trades as Northside conversion condominium product, priced in dollars per square foot. Its peers are the six-story mid-rises built between Bedford and Driggs after the 2005 rezoning, and its mix runs larger than most of theirs: 12 of the 14 residences are over 1,100 square feet. Four things move value inside the building: size, since the line mix varies widely; the two added-floor penthouses; outdoor space; and whether a parking unit comes with the apartment. With 14 residences, sales come in small numbers even in an active year, such as the handful of resales in 2025–26, so comparison with nearby buildings carries real weight. Unit-level transaction history is maintained in The Roebling Research Library and shared with clients during diligence.

Market read. Most recent trades (2026 to date) cleared a median $1,661/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 0.0% from the last ask.

What to know if you’re buying
Underwrite from the tax bill. The roll shows no exemption scheduled to expire. The seller's current tax bill, checked for the specific apartment, is the figure to underwrite, and it can still change with assessments and rates.
Price parking separately. A space is a separate condominium unit with its own taxes and common charges; a separate deed instrument is not necessarily required. With nine spaces for 14 residences, confirm on the deed whether one comes with the apartment.

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.
