A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 22 Grove 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.

22 Grove Street is a 1930 Art Deco apartment house by H.I. Feldman on a Village block made up mostly of nineteenth-century houses. Feldman ran one of the most prolific practices in New York from 1921 to 1978. This building dates from the start of the Depression and is in the style of that moment: brick in two tones with terra cotta trim, on a 44-foot lot.

That lot width defines the building. At 44 feet, it is a single narrow slab, six lines deep across six floors, and it produced small apartments. Over time, shareholders have combined them. The record shows combinations on the second, third and sixth floors, including a three-unit merger on the third floor in 2016. The building's scarce product is the combined apartment. The common product is a compact prewar unit in an elevator building on a residential block of Grove Street.

The conversion history is simple. A series of related partnership entities held the property from 1970. In 1987 Grove Street Associates transferred it to Grove House, Inc., taking back a mortgage from the new corporation. That is the standard sponsor-conversion pattern. The record since shows share transfers between unrelated individuals, and in 2023 the corporation itself sold an apartment it held. No block of sponsor-held apartments shows up in the recent record.

Architecture and unit composition

LPC records the materials as brick, dark brick and terra cotta, and the style as Art Deco. The building rises six stories on a 44-by-100-foot lot. With about 20,370 square feet of gross building area across 35 or 36 original units, the average apartment was small, somewhere between a studio and a one-bedroom. No floor plan is on file, so confirm the specific apartment's layout, line and exposure with the listing materials and in person.

Two practical consequences. First, as in most narrow-lot buildings, exposure is mostly to the Grove Street front or the rear, and the rear view depends on what the neighboring lots have built. Look at the apartment. Second, combinations are feasible and have been done repeatedly, but each one goes through the board's alteration agreement and a DOB filing, and the corporation's approach to further combinations is worth asking about early.

Building operations

The public record shows a building that has kept up its envelope. In 2002–2003, DOB filings covered façade pointing, reconstruction of the parapet (the low wall at the roof edge), and lintel and sill repairs. A new copper roofing system was filed and signed off in 2011. For a terra-cotta-trimmed 1930 façade inside a historic district, that sequence matters: masonry and terra cotta repairs are recurring costs, and LPC review applies to replacement materials.

National Cooperative Bank holds the underlying mortgage, refinanced in 2014 and again in March 2024. The balance, rate, maturity and reserve position are not public. Get the last two years of audited statements, the current budget and the board minutes.

Policy framework — what share ownership means here

None of the building's policies are published. Ask the following, in writing, before you make an offer.

Board package and interview. You are buying shares in a corporation plus a proprietary lease (the lease that gives a shareholder the right to occupy a specific apartment). The board must approve the purchase. Expect a full financial package and an interview. Allow four to eight weeks after contract.

Financing ceiling, minimum down, liquidity. The financing ceiling is the maximum share of the price you may borrow. Post-closing liquidity is the cash and investments you must still hold after closing. Ask for the board's actual standards, including a debt-to-income limit (monthly debt payments as a share of income), and run them through the Co-op Board Qualification Calculator.

Sublet policy. Ask for the waiting period before subletting, the maximum term, any lifetime cap, and the fee.

Flip tax. A flip tax is a fee the corporation charges on a sale. Ask whether one exists, how it is calculated, and who pays it.

Pied-à-terre, trusts, LLCs, pets. Ask about each one separately.

Combinations. Ask whether the board has a standing policy on further combinations, and what it requires: engineer review, deposits, insurance, and whether a new share allocation is needed.

Recent sales

A building of this size, with multiple combinations, gives a thin comparable set. Compare an original compact apartment with other original compact apartments, and a combination with other combinations. Mixing the two produces bad numbers. Co-op pricing in this corridor is best reasoned per room and per condition. The premium goes to combined layouts, higher floors, light and renovation quality, and the building's Grove Street address does real work for resale.

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

Pin down the unit count and your share allocation. City records carry both 35 and 36 units. What matters for you is your apartment's share count and maintenance.

Get the full policy stack before you offer. None of it is public.

Read the capital history. A 1930 terra-cotta façade in a historic district needs recurring work. Ask what the next façade inspection cycle requires, and whether an assessment is in place or under discussion.

What to know if you’re selling

Know your comparable set. A combined apartment should be priced against other combinations, not against the building's average sale.

Collect the board's requirements before you list. Giving buyers the financing ceiling and package requirements up front shortens the process.

Lead with the architecture and the street. An Art Deco Feldman building on Grove Street is a specific, easy-to-explain product.

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.
