A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 331 West 14th 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.
331 West 14th Street is a small prewar elevator co-op on the block where 14th Street shifts from Chelsea to the Meatpacking District. The Gansevoort Market Historic District begins at the Ninth Avenue end of the same block. The building itself is outside the district and not individually designated, so its owners do not face the Landmarks review that governs their neighbors to the west.
The co-op has operated as a cooperative corporation since 1985, with a recorded transfer history to review alongside the current share ledger and governance records. The reviewed records identify sponsor sales in 2008–2009 and later transfers naming individual purchasers; they do not independently establish final sponsor disposition or unrelated beneficial ownership, and the corporation has financed itself through a cooperative lender, most recently in December 2022. Recorded instruments from that refinancing total $1.25 million, but the recorded face amounts alone do not establish current balances, loan availability or financial strength.
The public record also shows one structural item buyers should understand. In 2005 the corporation recorded a development agreement and declaration with the owner of the adjoining lot at 333 West 14th Street, and a zoning-lot filing followed in January 2006. The adjoining building is now a nine-unit condominium. Filings like these usually commit a lot's unused development rights to the neighboring site, which may leave little or none available to the co-op; the recorded documents establish what remains, so confirm the terms with the managing agent.
Architecture and unit composition
The building is a seven-story, 25-foot-wide apartment house on a full-depth 125-foot lot, with about 13,550 gross square feet per DOF. Recorded unit designations run from the first floor through the seventh in A, B and C lines, plus a penthouse-level unit (PHB), a unit designated simply "B", and a 4AB combination completed under a 2008 DOB filing. A 2010 DOB filing covered renovation of the front areaway and basement entry and an expansion of the cellar. A 2017 filing covered façade restoration. Individual apartments have been renovated throughout, according to DOB alteration records from 2008 to 2015. The apartment mix, from recorded transfers and DOB filings, runs from studios to combined full-floor-width units.
Building operations
Listing records describe a virtual doorman, an elevator, a laundry room, garden access and paid storage. The managing agent, staffing arrangement and current budget have not been established from the records reviewed here. With no financial statements on file, the key diligence items are the most recent audited statements, the reserve balance, the terms of the 2022 underlying mortgage, the status of the building's façade cycle, and any planned capital work.
Application and transaction fees
Fees below are from building management's published schedule, as of October 2026. They are shown as published, item by item; no total is added because the total depends on the transaction. Deposits are listed apart from nonrefundable charges.

Sublet and pied-à-terre policy

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.
See full Local Law 97 analysis →Facade safety — Local Law 11
The latest available filing classified the facade as SWARMP — Safe With A Repair and Maintenance Program: the inspector (QEWI) identified conditions requiring monitoring or repair, with repairs due by the deadline stated in the filing. The scope, timeline, and how the building funds the work are building-specific — we review the filings and board materials for you.
How to read this, and where it comes from
QEWI = Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector — a licensed professional engineer or registered architect who meets DOB’s FISP qualifications and signs 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.

Recent sales
331 West 14th Street trades in Chelsea's small prewar co-op tier, priced per room. Recorded share transfers occur about once a year, with the combined 4AB and the upper-floor lines anchoring the top of the building's range. With so few trades, line and floor matter more than any building-wide average. Unit-level transaction history is maintained in The Roebling Research Library and shared with clients during diligence.

Market read. $/sf is measured on the latest sales with reliable square footage (2017): a median $1,187/sf (recorded) across 1 sale. The building has traded as recently as 2026. Median listing discount 1.1% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy.

What to know if you’re buying
Prepare a full board package. Expect a standard Manhattan co-op application and interview. Listing records say the board accepts guarantors and parents buying with or for children, which widens the financing options. Confirm the down-payment minimum and debt-to-income standards with the managing agent before you bid.
Ask for the underlying mortgage terms. The 2022 refinancing is recorded, but its rate and maturity have not been established from the material reviewed here; obtain the complete recorded instruments and current loan statement. Both affect maintenance and your exposure to future assessments.
Ask about the 2005 development-rights agreement. Get a summary of the 2005 agreement with 333 West 14th Street and confirm whether any consideration or obligation continues.
Confirm the sublet and pied-à-terre rules in writing. "Flexible" in listing records is not a policy. Get the current sublet terms, any sublet fee, and the flip tax before you sign a contract.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with location and outdoor access. An elevator, garden access and a position a short walk from the High Line at the Ninth Avenue end of 14th Street set the building apart from many small West 14th Street walk-ups.
Have the board package answers ready. A buyer's first questions will be financing ceiling, sublets and flip tax. Having those from the managing agent at listing shortens the path to board approval.

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.
