A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 340 West 19th 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.
340 West 19th Street offers a specific Chelsea setting: a 26-unit, six-story 1920 walk-up on a residential block, between Eighth and Ninth Avenues — a position that puts the High Line, Chelsea Market, the gallery district, and Hudson River Park nearby while keeping the block itself residential in character. For buyers comparing it with doorman buildings, weigh stair access and the documented service arrangements against actual maintenance and assessments; fewer amenities do not establish lower total costs.
The building is better equipped than its scale suggests. A fitness center, bike room, private storage, and central laundry are documented in brokerage records — an amenity stack most 26-unit walk-ups never assemble — and city records show a major alteration in 1988, consistent with a conversion-era renovation of the envelope and systems. Apartments carry the high ceilings of the 1920 plan, and a number retain exposed brick and original detail.
What we can document better than most sources is how the building is actually governed, because the board's application materials are on file in The Roebling Research Library. The sublet framework is structured and genuinely usable — a graduated schedule that rewards seniority rather than a flat prohibition — and the house rules, alteration agreement, and move-in/move-out policy read like a small co-op that has professionalized its paperwork. For a boutique walk-up, that documentation discipline is a real diligence signal.
Architecture and unit composition
A six-story brick pre-war of modest exterior ambition: the asset is the plan, not the facade. The 26 apartments skew small — studios, one-bedrooms, and compact two-bedrooms — with high ceilings, decorative-era detail in select units, and the irregular charm of a building renovated unit by unit over decades. Condition varies meaningfully between renovated and original-state apartments, and pricing tracks that spread. Upper-floor units trade the stair climb for light and quiet; rear units face the mid-block gardens typical of these Chelsea lots.
Building operations
Self-service boutique mechanics: no doorman, no live-in super documented in the reviewed materials, other service arrangements to confirm, and a board that — per the documents on file — runs a structured application, alteration, and move-in/move-out process. Buyers coming from full-service buildings should compare actual maintenance and assessments alongside package logistics and stair access. The application package, sublease package, house rules, and alteration agreement are on file in The Roebling Research Library and available to clients during diligence.
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.

What to know if you’re buying
The sublet policy is the headline flexibility. A documented, graduated framework — one year of subletting after two years of residency, scaling to three years' maximum after four years of ownership, with a two-year reset between sublet periods and a $1,200 annual fee. For a small co-op this is unusually permissive, and it materially protects your exit optionality. Verify current terms; the package on file was revised October 2022.
Pets are not automatic. The house rules require the corporation's written, revocable permission. If a dog is part of your household, raise it before the board package, not after.
Budget the board process like a full-size co-op. Two years of returns, reference letters, net-worth affidavit, and a mandatory interview — the package on file is comprehensive. Run the Co-op Board Qualification Calculator before offering, and confirm the building's financing limit with the managing agent, since it is not publicly documented.
Underwrite condition, not just price. This is a building where renovation status drives value. Review the alteration agreement on file before planning work — construction hours are restricted to weekdays — and run the Renovation Cost Calculator against original-condition units.
Walk the stairs. Six stories, no elevator. The discount is real and so is the climb; be honest about your five-year horizon.
What to know if you’re selling
Present the location and actual carrying cost. Compare this block with the buyer's specific alternatives, including doorman buildings, using current maintenance and assessments. Document the seminary-block setting and assess noise at the apartment itself.
Lead with the amenity stack. Fitness center, bike room, storage, and laundry in a 26-unit walk-up is a differentiator against the competing fourth-floor walk-up inventory. Most agents bury it; don't.
Have the governance documents ready. The structured sublet policy and professionalized board paperwork survive attorney review and reassure entry-tier buyers making their first co-op purchase. We provide the documents from the Research Library to serious buyers' counsel.

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.
