A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 3 West 13th 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.
3 West 13th Street is a 2006/2007-vintage boutique condominium on a quiet mid-block stretch of Greenwich Village between Fifth and Sixth Avenues — one of the corridor's clearest examples of the contemporary loft-style new-construction tier layered into the Greenwich Village Historic District's broader pre-war and townhouse-residential character.
Three structural features distinguish the building:
The first is the seven-full-floor-residence configuration. Seven units across nine stories produces an unusually thin building-occupancy footprint relative to the corridor's contemporary condominium inventory — most contemporary GV condos at this scale carry materially more units per floor. The full-floor format delivers buyers substantial apartment-level privacy (one residence per landing, no shared hallway between units), direct keyed-elevator service to each apartment, and the architectural register of a single-floor floor-plate rather than the carved-up sub-unit configurations that define more commodified contemporary new-construction.
The second is the loft-style 12-foot-plus ceilings + floor-to-ceiling windows configuration. The apartments deliver a substantively-tall ceiling height and substantial natural light through the floor-to-ceiling glass — an architectural register more commonly associated with the converted prewar loft inventory in NoHo and the West Village than with most 2006-vintage Manhattan new-construction. The combination of the ceiling height, the glass, and the gas fireplaces produces an apartment register that reads as a contemporary loft rather than as a generic new-construction condo.
The third is the permissive policy framework. The building permits pied-à-terres, pets (cats and dogs), and in-unit washer/dryers — a posture that supports both the primary-resident and pied-à-terre buyer pools, and that materially widens the qualified-buyer set at every price point compared to the more restrictive policy frameworks that define many Greenwich Village pre-war cooperative buildings.
For buyers, 3 West 13th Street represents the contemporary boutique-condominium tier of the Greenwich Village residential inventory — full-floor format, loft-style architectural register, permissive buyer-eligibility, and a mid-block position immediately off the Fifth Avenue spine.
Architecture and unit composition
Completed in 2006/2007, the building is a 9-story contemporary mid-block condominium with seven residential floors (the ground floor and lower levels carry the building's commercial, mechanical, and access programs).
The apartment program is consistent across floors — full-floor residences ranging from approximately 1,100 to 1,700 square feet, with the higher floors carrying the building's premium pricing and the corner-of-building exposures supporting two-exposure light advantage on the upper floors.
The signature apartment features are the 12-foot-plus ceilings, the floor-to-ceiling glass, the gas fireplaces (decorative — wood-burning is not permitted), the central HVAC (supporting the floor-to-ceiling-glass envelope), and the bamboo flooring that defines the apartment's base architectural register. Some apartments carry private balconies and the city / Greenwich Village skyline views that the upper-floor exposures support.
Building operations and policies
The building operates with a virtual doorman rather than a full-time staffed lobby, supported by video intercom access control. The keyed elevator delivers each resident directly to their own full-floor apartment.
Pets are permitted (both cats and dogs), pied-à-terre purchases are allowed, and in-unit washer/dryers are permitted (W/D installed in some apartments).
Private storage is available — verify storage-locker assignment and availability at apartment level.
Neighborhood and transit
3 West 13th Street's mid-block Greenwich Village position delivers immediate access to the corridor's dining, cultural, and academic infrastructure:
- Union Square — three blocks east at 14th Street and Broadway, with the broader Union Square dining, retail, and Saturday-greenmarket programs
- New York University — three blocks south, with the broader NYU institutional infrastructure surrounding Washington Square Park
- Washington Square Park — six blocks south, the broader Greenwich Village park anchor
- West Village dining corridor — immediately west across Sixth Avenue (the Bleecker / Hudson / Christopher dining tier)
- Fifth Avenue Lower Manhattan corridor — the Gold Coast condominium-and-cooperative spine running south from 14th Street to Washington Square
- Transit: L train at 14th and Sixth (and 14th and Union Square); 1/2/3 at 14th and Seventh; 4/5/6, N/Q/R/W, and L at 14th and Union Square; F/M at 14th and Sixth — substantially the densest subway-access configuration in any Manhattan residential corridor

Roebling Team transaction experience
The Roebling Team at Compass has direct seller-representation experience at the building, including:
- #8 sell-side representation — closed at $1,910,000 on August 18, 2023 against a $2,025,000 ask (−5.7% to ask) in 29 days on market. A two-bedroom, two-bath floor-through with the building's signature enclosed corner balcony / sunroom — a quick-execution outcome on a contemporary Greenwich Village two-bedroom in a 2023 mid-summer rate-sensitive market. The full pricing-and-marketing arc is published as a case study.
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 emissions caps apply. No regulatory capital pressure from this law specifically, current or 2030.
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. 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 2015–20 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.

What to know if you’re buying
Two practical considerations:
Apartment-level diligence is apartment-specific. With seven full-floor residences across nine stories and meaningful exposure / view / floor variation between floors, apartment-level diligence should be calibrated to the specific floor and exposure. Higher floors carry the premium pricing and the cleaner south-facing skyline view exposure.
Verify the apartment-level finish and configuration. The building's loft-style architectural register is consistent across the inventory, but individual apartment finish updates, fireplace status, balcony configuration, and storage assignments vary apartment-by-apartment and have evolved across the building's nearly two decades of post-completion ownership.

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.
