A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 299 West 12th 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.
299 West 12th Street is Emery Roth's 1930 Bing & Bing commission with sister building at 302 West 12th — anchoring the West 12th corridor with 182-187 condominium units.
The architecture carries an Emery Roth pedigree — the same hand behind the San Remo, the Beresford, and the Eldorado on CPW, as well as Devonshire House at 28 East 10th — paired with the prolific Bing & Bing developer pedigree that shaped so much of the interwar Village. What sets 299 apart from its siblings, though, is ownership structure: its 1986 condominium conversion makes it the rare Bing & Bing building to trade as a condo rather than a co-op.
Architecture and building operations
Roth's 1930 design for Bing & Bing produced a 17-story brown-brick building with 182-187 units after the 1986 condominium conversion. Studios and 1BRs predominantly. The sister building at 302 West 12th was completed one year earlier by Boak & Paris.
Operations: 24-hour doorman; concierge; fitness center; private storage; bicycle storage.

Common charges plus real estate taxes, combined into one monthly figure the way New York condominium listings show them. Add a mortgage payment for the monthly outlay. The split into common charges and taxes comes from the listings that also give the annual tax, a different sample, so the two lines need not add up exactly to the combined median; a tax abatement can hold taxes below the full amount until it expires. A summary of recorded sales and listings, not a current bill; charges change.

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 — 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 2025–30. 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.

Market read. Most recent trades (2026 to date) cleared a median $3,362/sf (floor-adjusted) across 6 sales. Floor-adjusted means each sale is restated to a constant mix of floors, so the figure can differ from the plain median of the sales listed above. Median listing discount 2.1% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy.

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.
