A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at The Schumacher 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.
The Schumacher is a 2015 Morris Adjmi conversion of an 1885 Schumacher & Ettlinger Lithography building.
The bones are pure 1885: an Edward E. Raht Romanesque Revival composition of "corbelled brick layering, ornamental overhangs, radiating lintels, some turrets and the 5th and 6th floors have arched windows." What distinguishes the building today is how that fabric was handled in the Morris Adjmi conversion with Higgins Quasebarth preservation — Adjmi went so far as to track down a Raht drawing of a pediment from a Union Club competition and use it to fashion a replacement. Crowning the result is the Ken Smith Workshop landscape, which developer Stillman likened to bringing "the Hanging Gardens of Babylon to Manhattan," its diagonal evergreen-and-clematis cables, two fountains, and a Jeff Koons sculpture from resident Alberto Mugrabi turning the courtyard into the building's signature.
Architecture and building operations
Romanesque Revival, with "corbelled brick layering, ornamental overhangs, radiating lintels, some turrets and the 5th and 6th floors have arched windows".
When Stillman acquired the building, "its original cast-iron and wood ground floor façade had been covered with bronze-colored aluminum siding and its Queen Anne-style roof pediment had been blown off by wind at one point" (NYT, Alexei Barrionuevo, April 14, 2013). Adjmi found a drawing by Raht of a pediment from a Union Club competition and used it to fashion a replacement.
The lobby contains a wall of two-sided glass roundels by Christophe Côme (commissioned by gallerist Cristina Grajales). Interiors feature exposed brick ceiling vaults up to 15 feet, oversized arched windows, wide-plank white oak.
The signature Ken Smith courtyard — described by Stillman as "the Hanging Gardens of Babylon to Manhattan" — uses diagonal evergreen-and-clematis cables rising from a marble-gravel floor, creating "a distinctive visual screen for residents" with two fountains and a Jeff Koons sculpture from resident Alberto Mugrabi.
Operations: 24-hour doorman; landscaped roof; fitness center; refrigerated lobby storage; bicycle storage; library overlooking the garden (with a Hechizoo wool/nylon/copper rug); individual storage; pirate-themed children's playroom.

Sublet and pied-à-terre policy

Common charges plus real estate taxes, combined into one monthly figure the way New York condominium listings show them. Add a mortgage payment for the monthly outlay. The split into common charges and taxes comes from the listings that also give the annual tax, a different sample, so the two lines need not add up exactly to the combined median; a tax abatement can hold taxes below the full amount until it expires. A summary of recorded sales and listings, not a current bill; charges change.

The latest available filing classified the facade as Unsafe — conditions requiring prompt corrective action. The owner must install any public protection the inspector specifies (a sidewalk shed, construction fence or structural netting, depending on the condition) and make the repairs. Review the subsequent filings, the repair status, and the building’s board and financial materials — we pull the repair scope and funding picture for you.

Market read. Most recent trades (2026 to date) cleared a median $3,310/sf (floor-adjusted) across 1 sale. Floor-adjusted means each sale is restated to a constant mix of floors, so the figure can differ from the plain median of the sales listed above. Median listing discount 4.9% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy.

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.
