35 Pierrepont Street

The building contains nine stories plus a penthouse level over a full cellar, with 33 apartments including the superintendent's unit — Apartment 1B at the time of the plan. Share allocations in the amendment schedules run from roughly 400 to nearly 700 shares per apartment, a wide band that reflects a genuine mix of scales rather than a single repeated line; share allocations set each apartment's ownership interest and maintenance, and how closely they track size depends on the allocation basis stated in the plan, so read them with the floor plan and room count. The floor plan on file with the plan documents the line structure; line-by-line layouts and share loads are maintained in The Roebling Research Library and shared with clients during diligence.

Interiors follow the 1929 elevator-co-op template: proper foyers, separated kitchens, and the ceiling heights and casement-era window rhythm of the late-1920s Heights tier. Upper floors on the south side face Pierrepont Street across the low rowhouse fabric; the penthouse level is the building's scarcest asset.

35 Pierrepont Street Owners, Inc. has operated the building since the 1979 conversion. The corporation's alteration agreement — the version in circulation dates to 1996 — runs to full architect-review protocol, with Landmarks Preservation Commission filings explicitly contemplated for any work touching regulated fabric; renovating shareholders should budget for both board and LPC process. The corporation's audited financials across the 2000s show a conventionally financed small co-op carrying an underlying mortgage and building reserves in the ordinary course. Current management, staffing, and financial position should be reviewed during diligence; The Roebling Team remains the contact of record for transaction questions.

Market read. $/sf is measured on the latest sales with reliable square footage (2021): a median $1,046/sf (floor-adjusted) across 1 sale. The building has traded as recently as 2026. Median listing discount 0.0% from the last ask.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 3-00235-0004). Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified in The Roebling Research Library. Not all transactions cross-verify with ACRIS records — sponsor and LLC purchases sometimes record at stipulated values rather than market price; square footage on co-ops is not officially recorded, figures shown are approximate.

Confirm the current service model. The 1979 plan documents attended-elevator staffing; it does not establish today's coverage or costs. Obtain the current roster and budget before comparing maintenance with staffed or self-service peers.

The façade has a maintenance history. The half-timber spandrel restoration went through LPC review; confirm that the work was completed and the façade's current condition. Review the LL11 cycle and any open façade work as part of diligence.

Read the shares with the floor plan. Allocations vary by roughly 70 percent across the building and set each apartment's maintenance. Price against the shares and the floor plan together, not the room count in the listing copy.

Expect full co-op process. Board consent is required before any sale or sublet under the proprietary lease; alteration work runs through architect review and, where applicable, Landmarks. Policies on pets, financing, and pied-à-terre use should be confirmed at offer stage.

Lead with the Freehof façade and the service tradition. The restored half-timber front and the building's staffing lineage are the two facts that separate this house from the rest of the street's prewar row.

Match comparables to verified services. Consider Pierrepont, Remsen and Montague corridor elevator co-ops, adjusting for current staffing, maintenance, layout, floor and condition. A self-service comparison does not automatically underprice the apartment, but service differences need explicit adjustment.

Prepare the alteration file. Buyers' attorneys at this tier will ask for board minutes, the alteration history, and the façade-cycle record. A complete package supports pricing; gaps become negotiation leverage.
