A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 325 West 52nd 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.
325 West 52nd Street is really four buildings. It began as four side-by-side turn-of-the-century walk-ups at 325, 327, 329 and 331 West 52nd Street. In 1981 they were joined behind one entrance, given a shared lobby and a central elevator, and turned into a cooperative of about 33 apartments. The city still carries four building identifiers on the single tax lot.
That history explains the apartments. Ceiling heights, fireplaces and hardwood floors from the original buildings survived the conversion, while the lobby and halls were modernized. The lot has about 85 feet of frontage (PLUTO also counts four buildings on it), which leaves room for layouts a single tenement could not hold. That includes duplexes on the ground floor with gardens and duplexes on the top floor with roof terraces.
The building is small, and a few apartments stand well above the rest. Combined apartments and the garden and terrace duplexes trade at a large premium to the standard units, so any building-wide figure over a few sales mostly reflects which apartments happened to sell.
Architecture and unit composition
The four facades read as one row of turn-of-the-century walk-ups of the same style. The 1981 work combined the interiors behind them. ACRIS records apartments in lines A through H, on four floors plus a penthouse level. DOB records a 2005 combination of two apartments with a new internal stair, and ACRIS shows combined apartments trading as single units.
Compare the duplex configurations individually. Ground-floor homes with private gardens and fifth-floor penthouses with roof terraces offer different outdoor access, light and layout; buyer preference and competition should be established from actual demand.
Building operations
Staffing is a live-in superintendent. Common facilities are the elevator, a laundry room, bike storage and common storage.
Tax benefits. DOF's J-51 history shows a benefit starting in 1981 that matches the conversion. It had a 12-year exemption on the increase in assessed value plus an abatement of 90% of the certified cost of the work. The exemption ran out in the early 1990s and the abatement was used up by the 1996 tax year. DOF's roll for the 2021 through 2027 tax years shows no building-level benefit, only the senior citizen homeowner exemption that individual shareholders receive. Check the building's current tax bill for any abatement before underwriting.
Underlying mortgage. The cooperative has borrowed from the National Cooperative Bank since 1997. ACRIS shows a consolidated first mortgage of about $2 million recorded in July 2019. The loan was placed into a commercial mortgage securitization later that year, and a separate smaller line was recorded at the same time. The maturity date does not appear in the index. A 2019 loan with a typical ten-year term would come due around 2029, which is an estimate to confirm against the loan documents. Get the actual date and any balloon payment from the current audited financial statements.
Special Clinton District. The lot is inside the Special Clinton District. In parts of the district, the city requires HPD to certify that there has been no tenant harassment before issuing permits for major alterations or demolition of a multiple dwelling. Anyone planning major work should have their architect check with HPD whether the rule applies. The rule does not affect a normal apartment purchase.

Local Law 97
This building is below the 25,000 sq ft threshold at which LL97 limits apply to a building on its own. It is still covered if it shares a tax lot or condominium board with buildings totaling over 50,000 sq ft; confirm on DOB’s covered-buildings list.

325 West 52nd Street trades as a small prewar-detail cooperative. Apartments are priced by room count, outdoor space and whether they are duplexes. Standard single-floor units make up most sales. The combined apartments and the garden and terrace duplexes set the top of the range, and they sell rarely enough that one closing can move the building's apparent median by a wide margin. In 2025, the last complete year, sales here were few. Use comparables from the same configuration rather than a building average. Unit-level transaction history is maintained in The Roebling Research Library and shared with clients during diligence.

What to know if you’re buying
Get the policy stack from the managing agent. The public record does not document sublet rules, the flip tax, the financing ceiling or pied-à-terre use. Ask for them in writing before you sign.
Confirm the mortgage maturity. A small cooperative with one underlying loan placed in 2019 may face a refinancing in the next few years. The terms of that refinancing will affect maintenance. Ask the board how and when it plans to refinance.
Inspect the joins. A building made from four older buildings has more party walls, roof sections and risers than one built as a single building. Ask for engineering reports and the facade inspection (Local Law 11) status.
Price duplexes on their own. Garden and terrace duplexes do not compare to standard units. Use comparables from the same configuration.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the details. Working fireplaces, high ceilings and an elevator are an unusual mix for a Clinton side street, and the garden and terrace duplexes are rare anywhere in the neighborhood.
Prepare the board package early. The building is small and its policies are not public, so prepare a clear policy summary and a recent financial statement before listing. That keeps buyers' attorneys moving.

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.
