About the building
242 East 7th Street retains the dressed-limestone façade of a small synagogue designed in 1908. A raised central entrance, shallow pilasters and a broad pediment organize the three-bay front. The paneled wooden doors and stained-glass fanlight survive, along with carved stone moldings and inscribed plaques. The building became residential in 1985 and received individual landmark designation in 2008.
Five cooperative residences occupy the converted interior. The apartments include multilevel lofts and triplex layouts, with private terraces or roof areas attached to selected homes. Tall spaces and large windows reflect the original building's proportions. Internal stairs are prominent in the upper homes, where living and sleeping areas occupy separate levels beneath skylights or roof openings.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00376-0013) 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
A landmark conversion with multilevel interiors. The triplex plans put substantial daily circulation on internal stairs, an important distinction from the building's modest street height. The five-home cooperative also shares responsibility for a finely detailed limestone exterior. Its pediment, carved surrounds and other protected elements can make façade projects more specialized than routine brick repointing.

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.
