About the building
223 West 19th Street combines an older commercial base with a residential addition completed around the turn of the millennium. The redevelopment retained the original three-story structure and added upper levels, creating a five-residence condominium above two commercial floors. PLUTO dates the original building to 1900. The result is an eight-story property with a much smaller residential association than its height might suggest. Its position between Seventh and Eighth avenues places the entrance on a Chelsea side street.
Four full-floor lofts occupy the middle of the building, with a triplex penthouse above. Keyed elevator access opens into the residential floors. The lofts have broad living areas, ceilings of approximately ten feet and separate bedroom zones; central air conditioning serves the interiors. The penthouse extends across three levels and includes two private terraces. The internal stairs and outdoor areas make that home a different physical configuration from the single-level lofts below.

Sublet and pied-à-terre policy
A condominium owner leasing a unit and a co-op shareholder subletting are different rules, and a building-wide rule is different from a restriction on one apartment. This is the building's rule; confirm it for the specific apartment.

Local Law 97
This building is below the 25,000 sq ft threshold at which LL97 limits apply to a building on its own. It is still covered if it shares a tax lot or condominium board with buildings totaling over 50,000 sq ft; confirm on DOB’s covered-buildings list.
See full Local Law 97 analysis →Facade safety — Local Law 11
The latest available FISP filing classified the facade as Safe — no repairs were required at that inspection. A filed Safe grade is not a guarantee of current condition: owners still maintain the facade and, where required, observe parapets each year. Future inspection timing (Local Law 49 of 2025 changed the cycle framework from October 1, 2026), repair and any assessment decisions remain building-specific.
How to read this, and where it comes from
QEWI = Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector — a licensed professional engineer or registered architect who meets DOB’s FISP qualifications and signs the report (the independent expert, not the managing agent).

What to know if you’re buying
Five homes share an elevator building with two commercial floors. The condominium's allocation of elevator, insurance and other common costs between residential and commercial ownership is material to the monthly budget. A lender evaluating this small mixed-use project may also review the commercial component separately from the apartment being financed.

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.
