About the building
215 East 17th Street is part of a cooperative spanning two adjoining nineteenth-century houses. Builder Joseph Whitehead erected the houses by 1854 as part of his development of three lots on East 17th Street. Their Anglo-Italianate design combines brick upper stories with a rusticated stone base. The houses stand just west of Stuyvesant Square and became part of its historic district in 1975.
The cooperative has floor-through apartments with windows at the street and garden sides. Layouts include one-bedroom homes with two bathrooms and plans adapted to provide an additional bedroom. Some homes have access to rear garden space; the rights attached to a particular apartment should be confirmed with the managing agent.

The retrade record
Lines that have traded more than once in the public record — the building’s appreciation arc, apartment by apartment.
Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00898-0011). 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.
