A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 211 West 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.
Most walk-up co-ops in the Village are straightforward conversions of rental buildings. This one began differently. In December 1972 the building passed to a Housing Development Fund Corporation. An HDFC is a nonprofit corporation form created under New York's Private Housing Finance Law, used for city-assisted housing. The transfer came with mortgages to the city's Housing and Development Administration, the agency that became HPD. In 1974 a J-51 benefit followed on about $171,000 of certified alteration cost, and PLUTO records alterations in 1974 and 1978. That is the pattern of a city-assisted rehabilitation that turned a 1903 walk-up into a cooperative.
Fifty years later the corporation still carries the HDFC name, and in this building that name is the single most important thing to understand.
Architecture and unit composition
LPC records a Renaissance Revival brick and stone apartment house of 1903 by Horenburger & Straub, on a lot about 50 feet wide. With about 18,126 square feet of gross area across 24 units, four to a floor on six floors, the average apartment is modest: a one-bedroom or a small two-bedroom, and a six-story climb at the top. Front apartments face West 10th Street. Confirm what a rear apartment's windows face before assuming light.
DOB filings show routine apartment renovations since 2011, including at least one apartment with a washer and dryer. A 2020 filing extended a first-floor roof deck with a new steel stair. Ask the board its washer-dryer policy rather than assuming it from one filing.
Building operations
The audited statements give a clearer picture than most small co-ops offer. The corporation refinanced in 2018, retiring its previous bank loan with a $1 million National Cooperative Bank mortgage: 30-year amortization at 5.11 percent, $5,436 a month in principal and interest, maturing April 1, 2048. It set aside $350,000 in reserves at the closing and spent about $159,000 on improvements and repairs that year. By the end of 2021, cash exceeded $700,000 against a mortgage balance a little under $950,000, and the building ran an operating surplus before depreciation.
Real estate taxes were a bit over half of operating expenses in 2021. That makes the building's tax assessment the biggest driver of maintenance, more than debt service. Ask for statements after 2021; the most recent on file is for that year. DOB filings also show a boiler and burner replacement signed off in 2009 and boiler-room and exterior repairs filed in 2012.
The HDFC question
In New York, "HDFC co-op" usually means limited-equity housing: buyer income limits, restricted resale prices, and HPD oversight under a regulatory agreement. Those buildings do not trade on the open market. The public record at 211 West 10th Street points the other way:
- No HDFC tax exemption. Regulated HDFC cooperatives normally carry a property-tax exemption tied to a regulatory agreement. This lot has none on the Department of Finance roll, and the audited statements show full real estate taxes and note that the corporation is liable for federal, state and city corporate income taxes.
- Private management. HPD's registration lists the building's management program as private, not an HPD-supervised program.
- Open-market transfers. Share transfers recorded since 2004 run between unrelated individuals, and the recorded prices track the West Village walk-up co-op market.
None of that proves no restriction survives. Income limits, resale caps and similar terms can sit in the certificate of incorporation, the bylaws or the proprietary lease rather than in a tax record. Before you sign a contract, your attorney should read all three, and ask the managing agent in writing whether any regulatory agreement, income limit, resale formula or HPD approval requirement applies to a share transfer. Also confirm early that your lender will make a share loan on an HDFC-named corporation. Some lenders screen on the name alone.
Recent sales
With 24 near-uniform walk-up apartments, the comparable set is small but consistent. Floor matters more here than in an elevator building: in a six-story walk-up, the climb works against the light and quiet of the upper floors, and buyers weigh the two differently. Co-op pricing is best reasoned per room and per condition. Recorded transfers show the building trading as a market-rate Village walk-up. Buyers should still complete the HDFC diligence above.
Index any market statement to the last complete year rather than a partial current year. Unit-level transaction history is maintained in The Roebling Research Library and shared with clients during diligence.

What to know if you’re buying
Resolve the HDFC question first. Certificate of incorporation, bylaws, proprietary lease, and a written answer from the managing agent on any income, resale or HPD requirement. Then confirm your lender.
The debt picture is good. A fixed-rate, fully amortizing loan to 2048 means no refinancing event is coming. Watch the tax line instead.
Price the stairs. In a six-story walk-up, floor level changes the value of an apartment in both directions: more light and quiet higher up, more stairs to climb.
What to know if you’re selling
Answer the HDFC question before a buyer asks it. Have the corporate documents and a managing-agent letter ready at listing. An unanswered question about the name will slow or end a deal.
Use the financials. Reserves above $700,000 at the last year-end on file and a self-amortizing mortgage are real selling points for a 24-unit building.

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.
