345 West 13th Street is a 1890 John Jacob Astor estate printing factory (Mines Press) converted in 1999 by Byrns, Kendall & Schieferdecker with added 7th-floor penthouses.
The history runs deep here: the building's John Jacob Astor estate provenance traces to its origins as the Astor estate's Mines Press printing operation. Its second life came through the Byrns, Kendall & Schieferdecker conversion, the architectural pedigree behind the 1999 residential transformation. Grounding both is a hard-to-beat Hudson and West 13th corner location that fixes the building firmly in the West Village fabric.

Facade safety — Local Law 11
Safe to live in today — but the last inspection flagged repairs that are due on a deadline, so facade work and its cost are coming. Whether that’s a real concern depends on the scope, the timing, and how the building plans to pay for it — reserves or an assessment — which is exactly what we’d dig into for you.
