A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at Saint Germain 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.
Saint Germain occupies one of the West Village's signature corners: directly opposite the Jefferson Market Library and Garden, where Greenwich Avenue meets West 10th Street. The cooperative runs as a single building across the 23–35 Greenwich Avenue and 129–131 West 10th Street frontage — which is why apartments here are most often found under the Saint Germain / 33 Greenwich Avenue name even though the building carries the 23 Greenwich address as well.
This is a full-service postwar cooperative with a 24-hour doorman, a fitness center, an on-site parking garage, and a furnished roof deck — a deep amenity package at a co-op price basis. One nuance buyers should understand: it is a partial (non-eviction) cooperative conversion, meaning for-sale co-op apartments coexist with remaining sponsor rental units, some of which are rent-stabilized. That structure is common in 1980s Village conversions and does not affect the for-sale co-op apartments' marketability, but it is worth understanding when reviewing the building's financials.
The position opposite Jefferson Market — one of the most recognizable landmarks in the city — gives the building permanent open views and light to the south and west that cannot be built out.
Architecture and unit composition
Saint Germain is a 15-story postwar white-brick tower of roughly 150 residential units. Its most distinctive architectural feature is the cantilevered, protruding floor plates along the Greenwich Avenue façade, which give the building a recognizable rhythm and provide many apartments with light on multiple exposures. The apartment mix runs from studios and one-bedrooms through larger layouts. The building offers full elevator service and modern systems.
Building operations
The building operates as a full-service cooperative with a 24-hour doorman, a live-in superintendent, a fitness center, an on-site parking garage, a furnished roof deck, central laundry, a bike room, and private storage. It is managed by an outside professional management firm. The building has historically carried a low violation profile and steady operations.
As with any cooperative, buyers should review the building's financial statements, the most recent reserve study, board minutes, and any planned assessments or capital projects during due diligence — and, given the partial-conversion structure, should pay attention to the balance of co-op shares versus remaining sponsor rental units in the financials. The board's financing, sublet, and any flip-tax policies are variable and should be confirmed at offer stage.

The latest available FISP filing classified the facade as Safe — no repairs were required at that inspection. Facade inspections run on a fixed five-year cycle; future inspection, repair, and any assessment decisions remain building-specific.
How to read this, and where it comes from
QEWI = Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector — the licensed engineer the city requires to sign the report (the independent expert, not the managing agent).
Penalties shown are amounts DOB assessed against filings on record across 2005–10 to 2020–25. The FISP dataset does not record whether they were paid, contested or remain open, so treat the figure as history rather than a current balance and confirm the building’s standing with the managing agent.

Recent sales
As a cooperative, Saint Germain prices on a per-room and per-share basis rather than per square foot. Studios and one-bedrooms sit at the entry point, with larger and renovated apartments higher, a value position for a full-service building on this corner. Maintenance, room count, exposure (the Jefferson Market views command a premium), floor, and renovation level drive most of the spread between comparable units.
Unit-level transaction history is maintained in The Roebling Research Library and shared with clients during diligence.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00611-0065) 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.
What to know if you’re buying
Understand the partial-conversion structure. This is a non-eviction co-op conversion with remaining sponsor rentals. It does not affect your co-op apartment's marketability, but review how the financials handle the rental units during due diligence.
Views and the garage are the premium features. Apartments facing Jefferson Market have protected open outlooks; the on-site garage is scarce at this price point. Prioritize accordingly and confirm garage availability with management.
It's a co-op — expect a board. Purchases require board approval and a financial package; the board sets the minimum down payment, sublet rules, and any flip tax. Confirm those parameters at offer stage.
Run the co-op math. Factor maintenance and any assessments into your monthly carry, and run the purchase through the Buyer Closing Cost Calculator.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the corner and the views. Opposite Jefferson Market, with a 24-hour doorman, a garage, gym, and roof deck — that combination at a co-op basis is the pitch.
Be ready to explain the conversion structure. A clear, confident explanation of the non-eviction conversion reassures buyers and keeps the deal moving.
Price by room, view, and condition. Comparable co-op sales here turn on room count, exposure, maintenance, and renovation level.

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.
