214 Avenue A is a boutique East Village residence on Avenue A between 13th and 14th Streets, at the northern edge of Alphabet City. Though it is often marketed like a condominium — units transact freely and financing is available — the building is legally organized as a cooperative corporation operating on condop terms. On the Roebling classification we treat it as a cooperative, and buyers should approach it as a co-op purchase, with a board process rather than a simple condo closing.
The building was converted to residential apartments in 1986 from an earlier structure on the site. It is a small, four-story building with a courtyard and roof deck — a quiet, low-key alternative to the newer glass product that has arrived elsewhere in the neighborhood.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00407-7501) and verified listing data. Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified by The Roebling Team research desk. Not all transactions cross-verify with ACRIS records — sponsor and LLC purchases sometimes record at stipulated values rather than market price; square footage on co-ops is not officially recorded, figures shown are approximate.
