A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 190 West Street (West Greenpoint Lofts) 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 went residential before the neighborhood's zoning allowed it. In 2002 the owner filed with DOB to convert most of a partly vacant three-story manufacturing building on West Street to loft apartments. DOB objected that residential use was not permitted in the M1-1 district, and the owner went to the Board of Standards and Appeals for a use variance. The board granted it on July 22, 2003, finding that the building could not reasonably be used for modern manufacturing. The building is divided into five sections by heavy masonry walls, the floor levels do not line up between sections, and at the time it had one small elevator.
Two years later the 2005 Greenpoint–Williamsburg rezoning remapped the block for mixed use. Whether a particular residential project complies as of right depends on its site, use and applicable zoning requirements. West Greenpoint Lofts was one of the conversions that came just before that change. The sponsor recorded the condominium declaration in May 2005 and closed 13 of the 15 lofts that year, per ACRIS. It sold the last two in 2010 and 2014, and sold the four commercial units in 2016 and 2018. The recorded conveyances do not alone establish current beneficial ownership or termination of all sponsor rights; verify both in the current ownership schedule and governing documents.
The result is a building with a structure unlike Greenpoint's new-construction condominiums. It has very large lofts over a commercial base, a variance with conditions that still travel with the property, and no tax abatement.
Architecture and unit composition
The BSA-approved plan put mechanical space in the basement, commercial space and three lofts on the first floor, ten lofts on the second floor and two on the third, with a shared deck and some private decks. Because the building is several masonry sections joined together, the lofts vary widely in size and layout. Department of Finance unit areas run from about 1,190 square feet to about 3,540 square feet for the combined unit 10, and several units are above 2,000 square feet. These are large units by Greenpoint standards.
The commercial units (16 through 19) hold about 16,000 square feet together, the largest about 7,400 square feet. They have belonged to a single commercial owner since 2016–2018. That owner also holds two of the six parking units.
The parking units are separate condominium units with their own deeds and tax bills. A space conveys only if it is deeded in the sale.
The variance and what it requires
The variance came with conditions, and the BSA required them to be noted on the certificate of occupancy. The one a buyer will see is a disclosure requirement: rental agreements, leases, contracts of sale and deeds for the property must tell every party that the building sits in a manufacturing and commercial zoning district, and that owners have no right to complain about any lawful manufacturing or commercial use in the building or next door.
The block is now zoned for mixed use, but the variance and its conditions were granted to this building, and the disclosure should appear in the contract and deed. Buyers should have their attorney review the resolution and the certificate of occupancy, and read the ground-floor commercial units in that light. A commercial tenant is a lawful neighbor here.
Ownership and governance
Condominium boards are typically elected by owners voting their percentage interests, so concentration matters. Since late 2021, a single entity has bought five of the fourteen residences, plus two parking units, per ACRIS. By Department of Finance unit areas, those five lofts are about 40 percent of the residential floor area. The four commercial units have one owner. The remaining nine residences are held by separate owners. Individual conveyances do not alone establish that sponsor control ended or that record owners are unrelated. But a buyer should ask how board seats are held, whether any owner controls a voting majority with the commercial units counted in, and whether any of the entity-held units are rented.
The tax position
Department of Finance records show no 421-a or J-51 exemption on any residential, commercial or parking unit in any year from 2010/11 through the 2026/27 roll; the only exemptions recorded are individual owners' personal exemptions. Abatements are applied at the bill level, so check the specific apartment's tax bill.

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.

West Greenpoint Lofts trades as large-format loft-conversion product, priced in dollars per square foot, and turns over slowly: fourteen residences, several held long-term. Comparable sales are scarce, so pricing leans on Williamsburg and Greenpoint loft conversions and on the larger units in newer Greenpoint condominiums. Within the building, value turns on size, floor (the two third-floor lofts sit at the top of the building), decks, and whether a parking unit comes with the loft. Unit-level transaction history is maintained in The Roebling Research Library and shared with clients during diligence.

What to know if you’re buying
Read the BSA resolution. It is short and it binds the property. Expect the manufacturing-district disclosure in your contract and deed.
Ask about ownership concentration. Find out how the board is composed and how votes are distributed among the entity owner, the commercial owner and the individual owners.
Get the documents the public record lacks. We located no offering plan, by-laws or financial statements. Request the by-laws (for any right of first refusal, leasing and pet rules), the budget, the latest statements and any assessment history.
Confirm the unit's legal layout. Units here vary by section and floor level. Check the declaration floor plan and any recorded combination.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with scale. Several lofts here exceed 2,000 square feet. Put the size and volume first.
Have the variance file ready. Buyers' attorneys will ask for the BSA resolution and the certificate of occupancy. Having both at listing keeps them off the critical path.
Show the full-tax figure. No abatement means no scheduled phase-out increase; the bill still changes with assessments and rates, and total cost against newer buildings depends on each unit's charges, taxes, financing and assessments.

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.
