The block of East 10th Street between University Place and Broadway is a boundary condition. One block west, the Greenwich Village Historic District begins and every façade is regulated. Here it does not. That single fact separates this building from its near neighbors in ways that show up in renovation timelines, in window replacement, and in what the building can do to its own street wall without asking permission.
What it holds is unusual for the Village: a twelve-story prewar building with two apartments to a floor and loft proportions inside them. Ceilings run to roughly eleven feet, spans are wide and largely column-free, and the plates carry north and south exposures rather than a single front. This is not the prewar apartment-house typology of Lower Fifth Avenue, with its foyers and maid's rooms and service stairs. It reads as commercial-loft construction adapted to residence, and the recorded share nomenclature — every apartment is simply an N or an S — is the tell.
The corporate history is legible in ACRIS. Title moved through a succession of holding corporations in the 1960s and early 1970s and came to rest with Littlepark House Corp. in October 1974. A proprietary lease appears in the record the following spring, and the first share transfers begin appearing shortly after. A J-51 benefit was initiated in 1978 against a certified alteration cost of roughly $225,000, which is consistent with a substantial capital program in that period rather than with new construction. The building has therefore operated as a cooperative for more than fifty years, which is a long enough run to have retired its conversion-era debt and to have established a governance culture — but also long enough that a great deal of what a buyer needs to know now exists only in the corporation's own files.
The second structural fact is the retail. Roughly 5,500 square feet of ground-floor commercial space sits on the cooperative's tax lot, consolidated into a single store under a 2006 alteration. Commercial income of that scale, in a building of twenty-two apartments, is a meaningful component of the corporation's revenue and a meaningful influence on maintenance. Listing records also describe shareholders as holding membership in a limited liability company associated with the ground-floor retail space alongside their shares — a structure that would materially affect how that income is taxed and distributed. We have not been able to verify that structure against a governing document, and any buyer should have counsel confirm exactly how the commercial space is held before contract. It is the single most consequential open question at this address.
The third is the balance sheet as it appears from the outside. The underlying mortgage recorded in December 2019 is $1,450,000 with a $200,000 line — across twenty-two apartments, that is roughly $66,000 of underlying debt per unit. By the standards of Manhattan cooperatives that is very low leverage. It is also small enough that the corporation has limited borrowing capacity already drawn, which matters given what is happening to the façade.
Architecture and unit composition
The elevation is limestone-fronted over twelve stories, organized in the classical base-shaft-capital manner that governed loft and commercial building design in the first decade of the century. Bandcourses mark the transitions above the second, third and ninth floors. The window openings are deeply reveal-set, which gives the façade its depth and gives the apartments unusually thick sills. The crowning cornice visible in earlier photographs has been removed, a common outcome of mid-century cornice-removal campaigns and of the parapet work the building has undertaken since.
Inside, the plan is two apartments per floor across floors 2 through 12 — twenty-two apartments as originally configured. Ceiling heights of approximately eleven feet and wide, largely unobstructed floor plates mean these units renovate as lofts rather than as prewar apartments: open kitchens, flexible bedroom counts, and the room-count ambiguity that follows. Combinations have reduced the working inventory. The ninth and tenth floor north apartments now trade as a single duplex, and the top floor trades whole. That is why city records, Department of Buildings filings and listing records report unit counts anywhere from 20 to 22 for the same building; 22 is the original and correct configuration, and the discrepancies are combinations rather than errors.
Exposures are north and south. The building sits on the south side of East 10th Street, so the north apartments front the street and the south apartments look over the interior of the block toward East 9th Street. Neither exposure is view-protected by anything other than the existing built condition of the surrounding lots, and this block is not landmarked.
Building operations
The building runs lean. There is no doorman. The amenity set is a roof deck, bicycle storage, private storage and a keyed elevator that opens into the apartments — an arrangement that suits the two-per-floor plan and that buyers coming from full-service buildings should test in person, because it changes how packages, deliveries and contractors are handled.
The capital picture is active and is the most important operational fact at this address today. Department of Buildings records show a heavy-duty sidewalk shed installed in June 2023 and renewed in November 2024, a temporary shanty in January 2024, a façade repair filing in January 2024 covering masonry, pointing, lintels, sills, caulking and parapet work that was permitted in January 2025, and suspended scaffold filings in February 2024 and again in October 2025. That is a multi-year Local Law 11 cycle still in progress. It follows earlier parapet and masonry campaigns filed in 2012 and 2013 and a façade and roof program filed in 2007. Prewar limestone façades on unlandmarked lots are expensive to maintain and the record here shows a building that has been maintaining its own on a roughly decade-long rhythm.
Any buyer should assume that the current cycle carries either an assessment, a maintenance increase, a draw on the corporation's credit line, or some combination, and should ask for the specifics rather than infer them. With $1.45 million of underlying debt and a $200,000 line already in place, the corporation's capacity to fund a large capital program from borrowing alone is limited.
Policy framework
Ownership form: Cooperative. A purchaser buys shares in Littlepark House Corp. and takes a proprietary lease. Board approval is required and the board's decision is discretionary.
Everything else is unpublished. This building does not publish its financing ceiling, its post-closing liquidity requirement, its sublet policy, its flip tax, or its position on pied-à-terre, trust and LLC ownership. No offering plan, proprietary lease, set of house rules or audited financial statement for 30 East 10th Street is on file in The Roebling Research Library. We will not print numbers we cannot source.

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
The building trades as a small-inventory Village co-op with loft interiors — twenty-two original apartments, a handful of which have been combined, in a market where floor plates of this size and ceiling height on a quiet Village block are genuinely scarce. Turnover is correspondingly thin: recorded share transfers have run at roughly one or two a year across the last two decades, so the same-building comparable set in any given year is very small.
Pricing is best analyzed by line and by floor rather than by building average. The north and south apartments are not equivalent products — street versus block-interior exposure, and different light — and the combined units at the top of the stack occupy a different tier entirely from the standard floor plates below. Renovation condition is the other principal variable; loft plates in original condition and loft plates fully rebuilt trade at materially different levels, and the building's low turnover means that condition-adjusted comparables often have to be drawn from neighboring buildings rather than from within.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00561-0009) 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
Get the policy stack in writing before you offer. None of it is published. Ask the managing agent, in writing, for: the maximum financing percentage; the post-closing liquidity requirement and how the board measures it; the debt-to-income ceiling; the flip tax and who pays it; the sublet policy, including any seasoning period, term limit and sublet fee; the board's stated position on pied-à-terre purchases, trust and LLC ownership, co-purchasing, guarantors and parental gifts; and the pet policy. In a building of twenty-two apartments these terms are set by a small board and are not always the same as what a neighboring building does.
Budget the board process realistically. A cooperative purchase here means a full board package — tax returns, statements, reference letters, a REBNY financial statement — and a board interview. Run the Co-op Board Qualification Calculator before you offer, not after you are accepted, and assume the package-to-closing timeline is 60 to 90 days rather than a condominium's 30 to 45.
Resolve how the retail is held. Listing records describe shareholders as also holding an interest in a limited liability company connected with the ground-floor commercial space. That is not a standard cooperative structure. Have your attorney obtain the governing documents and confirm exactly what you are buying, how commercial income flows, and what the corporation's position is under the federal 80/20 rule for cooperative housing corporations, which governs whether shareholders can deduct their share of mortgage interest and real estate taxes.
Read the façade file. There has been a sidewalk shed at this address since 2023 and permitted façade work since January 2025. Ask for the engineer's report, the scope, the contract price, the funding plan, and whether an assessment has been levied or is contemplated. Ask when the shed comes down.
Underwrite full taxes. The J-51 benefit expired after tax year 1989. There is no abatement of any kind on this lot. What you see in the maintenance is what it costs.
Test the exposure. North apartments front East 10th Street; south apartments face the block interior toward East 9th Street. They are different products in light, quiet and outlook, and the block is unlandmarked in every direction.
Expect the apartment to be a loft. Eleven-foot ceilings and wide open plates are the reason to buy here. They also mean fewer bedrooms per square foot than a prewar apartment house of the same size, higher heating and cooling loads, and sound transmission characteristics that reward walking the unit at night. There is no doorman.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the plate, not the address. The product here is a two-per-floor loft-proportioned apartment on a quiet Village block. Buyers comparing this to Fifth Avenue prewar co-ops are comparing the wrong thing; the right comparison is the Village and NoHo loft co-op inventory, where ceiling height, span and exposure drive price.
Have the building's numbers ready before the first showing. Because nothing is published, a serious buyer's attorney will ask for the financing ceiling, the flip tax, the sublet terms and the financial statements in week one. Sellers who have that packet assembled in advance close faster and give up less in negotiation than sellers who discover the terms alongside the buyer.
Address the shed directly. A sidewalk shed and an open façade program are visible from the sidewalk and will surface immediately. Presenting the scope, the funding plan and the completion timeline yourself is a much better outcome than letting a buyer's attorney find it and price in an unknown.
Turnover is thin, so pricing needs outside comparables. With one or two transfers a year, there may be no recent in-building sale that matches your line and condition. Expect to build the comparable set from neighboring Village and NoHo loft cooperatives and to defend it.

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.
