A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 214 Avenue A 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.
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.
Architecture and building operations
A four-story pre-war brick building spanning the 214–216 Avenue A frontage, with an elevator and a landscaped shared roof deck. The unit mix runs from studios through two-bedroom homes, and the building is pet-friendly. Amenities are modest and residential in scale.
Operations: elevator, courtyard, common roof deck, and laundry. Pet-friendly.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00407-7501). Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified in The Roebling Research Library. 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.

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.
