A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 32 Jones 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.
32 Jones Street is a six-story corner apartment house designed by Max Muller for Amelia Glass in 1899 and completed in 1901. Its brick façade combines Romanesque and Renaissance Revival elements, with commercial space at street level and twenty cooperative apartments above. The corner gives the building frontage on both Jones and Bleecker Streets.
The property forms part of the Greenwich Village Historic District Extension II. Its mixed residential and commercial use dates to the original construction. The street-level premises later included Caffè Vivaldi, a music venue that operated for thirty-five years before closing in June 2018.
The cooperative's apartment inventory includes studios and one-bedroom homes. Its sublet policy permits continued leasing after an initial two-year ownership period, subject to confirmation with the managing agent. That policy is a material ownership distinction for a buyer planning to retain the apartment after moving.
Architecture and unit composition
The building's six-story form rises above ground-floor storefronts at the northeast corner of Jones and Bleecker Streets. The upper façade has long been identified by climbing ivy, while the original masonry contributes to the historic-district streetscape. Residential access is by stairs.
The apartments include compact studios and one-bedroom plans with separate kitchens or kitchens connected to the main living room. The corner location produces different exposures across the inventory. South-facing living rooms receive light from the Bleecker Street side, while other windows face Jones Street or the interior of the block.
One-bedroom homes generally provide a distinct sleeping room and a combined living and dining area. Studios use a single principal room, with their usability depending on the location of the kitchen, closets and bathroom entrance. Wood floors and prewar room proportions recur across renovated apartments.
The property retains its commercial base. A 2012 DOB alteration filing concerned first-floor stores and storefront changes, while continuing to show twenty dwellings above. Commercial entrances and deliveries are therefore part of the building's street-level setting.
Building operations
The cooperative maintains a shared tax lot containing both the apartments and commercial space. The commercial interests and their expense arrangements matter to the operating structure, although residential buyers purchase cooperative shares and a proprietary lease for their own apartment.
The building is a walk-up with intercom access. It has no common laundry room. The upper apartments require stair access above the commercial floor, and the route from the entrance should be considered when comparing homes on different levels.
Class 2 taxation applies, and the assessment roll shows no exemption; abatements apply at the bill level, so check the tax bill. The existing floor area exceeds the present R7-2 residential allowance. Exterior changes also fall under the historic district's LPC oversight, including storefront work and visible alterations to the masonry and windows.

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.

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.
