A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 34–36 East 10th 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.
This is a two-per-floor Village cooperative with 18 apartments on ten floors, on a block that is not landmarked. Those facts drive most of what a buyer needs to know. Two apartments per floor means two households share each landing. Eighteen apartments means a small board, a small operating budget and a small group of shareholders sharing each capital bill. The missing landmark designation means the building maintains its own façade on its own schedule, with no Certificate of Appropriateness before work starts.
The corporate history is short. Before 1973 the lot changed hands among commercial holding companies and business owners. In June 1973 34-36 East 10th Street Corp. appears as a borrower, and a related funding entity appears in December 1974, the usual paperwork of a cooperative conversion. That makes this one of the earlier conversions on the blocks between University Place and Broadway. The building has been cooperatively owned for more than fifty years, and it carries no conversion-era tax program that could expire.
The block does not behave like the landmarked Village one block west. East 10th Street between University Place and Broadway is lined with prewar co-ops and converted buildings of similar height: 30 East 10th Street two doors west and 38 East 10th Street next door. They share the same unregulated street wall and the same subway access at Union Square, and each is a direct comparable.
Architecture and unit composition
The lot is 51.5 feet wide and about 92 feet deep, which suits a two-apartment floor plate. City records carry two building numbers, but the Department of Buildings treats the building as one structure: filings under No. 34 and No. 36 describe the same ten-story, 18-apartment building. Gas-riser work filed in 2016 ran from the cellar to the tenth floor for the whole building.
The façade combines masonry, limestone trim and cast iron, and the record shows each needs regular work. A 2004 filing covered door replacement and recaulking, scraping and painting all windows, frames and cast iron. A 2007 filing repaired loose limestone brackets on the street façade at the ninth floor and a steel fire escape at the rear. Masonry repair on the east façade followed in 2009, and masonry and cast-iron repair in 2013.
Inside, the plan is an East line and a West line on floors 2 through 10. Renovation filings are routine, covering partition, kitchen and bath work in individual apartments, and none of them changes the apartment count. HPD's 18 legal apartments matches the building's original layout, and we found no combination filings in the record.
Building operations
Staffing and amenities are not documented in public records, and we do not list what we cannot source. Confirm them with the managing agent.
The heating plant was converted from oil. A 2013 filing replaced the oil-fired cast-iron steam boiler with a gas-fired one and relined the chimney. A 2014 filing installed a gas/oil boiler and burner with new gas service, and a chimney liner followed in 2015. Sidewalk vaults were repaired in 2008 and 2013.
The façade is the current capital item. DOB NOW records show a façade and roof repair filing in August 2023, a sidewalk shed filed in February 2024 and refiled in September and November 2024, a façade restoration filing in February 2024 covering inspection, brick replacement, repointing and sealant (amended in July 2024 to add a tieback option), and pipe scaffolding in September 2024. That is a Local Law 11 cycle in progress. Local Law 11 is the city's five-year façade inspection rule. The building went through similar cycles in 2004, 2007 and 2013.
Recent sales
The building trades as a small, low-turnover Village co-op. Recorded arm's-length share transfers have run at about one every two years over the past two decades. The ground-floor commercial units trade separately from the apartments, and some recorded transfers move apartments into family trusts with no sale.
The East and West lines are not necessarily the same product. Get the floor plans and confirm what each line looks out on, whether the street, the block interior or the side lot lines. The tenth floor is its own tier. Co-op pricing here is best read by line, floor and renovation condition, measured per room, not by a building-wide average. With so few trades, comparables usually come from 30 and 38 East 10th Street and the University Place co-ops.
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 in writing before you offer. Nothing is published. Ask the managing agent in writing for:
- the maximum financing percentage and the debt-to-income ceiling
- the post-closing liquidity requirement
- the flip tax and who pays it
- the sublet policy
- the board's position on pied-à-terre, trust, LLC and co-purchase ownership, guarantors and gifts
- the pet policy
Plan for a full board process. Expect a complete board package and an interview. Run the Co-op Board Qualification Calculator before you offer, and plan for a longer timeline to closing than a condominium would take.
Read the façade file. A sidewalk shed and a permitted façade restoration have been in place since 2024. Ask for the engineer's Local Law 11 report, the contract scope and price, the funding plan, and whether an assessment has been levied or is being considered. With about $2.07 million of underlying debt already outstanding, ask how much of the credit line remains.
Confirm how the stores are held. Two ground-floor commercial units carry their own share allocations. Ask what share of the corporation's shares they hold, what maintenance they pay, and how the corporation stands under the federal 80/20 test for cooperative housing corporations. That test decides whether shareholders can deduct their share of mortgage interest and real estate taxes.
Underwrite full taxes. DOF records show no J-51 or other building-level benefit on this lot. Only the owner-occupant cooperative abatement applies, and only to eligible primary residences.
What to know if you’re selling
Put the building's numbers together early. Because none of the policies are published, a buyer's attorney will ask for the financing ceiling, the flip tax, the sublet terms, the financial statements and the façade status in the first week. Sellers who have that packet ready close faster.
Address the shed directly. The scaffolding is the first thing a buyer sees. Give buyers the scope, the funding plan and the expected completion date yourself.
Price from outside comparables. At about one trade every two years, the building may have no recent sale that matches your line, floor and condition. Build the comparable set from the neighboring co-ops on the block and on University Place.

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.
