39 North Moore Street

The building holds twelve condominium unit lots — eleven residential and one commercial — across six floors. That total does not establish two residences on every residential floor, particularly given the later storage conversion and sixth-floor separation filings. Confirm the current floor plans and elevator access; the elevator opens with a key directly into the residences, and the common areas are minimal by design.

The floor plates are loft plates: roughly 27,900 square feet of residential area across the building, on a lot of about 4,700 square feet. Those building totals do not establish apartment interior area, width or depth; use the specific unit plan for dimensions and layout comparisons. Large multi-pane windows on the North Moore and Ericsson Place elevations carry light deep into the plans, and corner residences pick up two exposures.

Two Department of Buildings filings are worth knowing about because they changed the building's composition. In 2008 the condominium filed to convert storage space into an additional loft dwelling — the resulting unit lot first traded as raw space that December and was resold as a finished residence four years later. In 2020, a filing separated apartments on the sixth floor. Anyone reconciling unit counts across sources should expect small discrepancies for exactly this reason.

This is a self-service building. There is an elevator with key-locked access into the residences, video intercom entry, and a roof deck; there is no doorman, no concierge and no amenity program. Confirm delivery and package arrangements with management. The absence of door staff does not establish a small budget or lower common charges; compare actual charges, reserves and assessments with serviced alternatives.

The DOB record shows recurring masonry work. The condominium filed for emergency brick replacement on the north facade in 2001, and again in 2011 for masonry reconstruction and leak repairs, with a sidewalk shed and pipe scaffold erected for the work; completion and current condition need confirming. Because the building sits in the Tribeca West Historic District, facade and window work runs through LPC review before DOB will sign off, which lengthens schedules and raises unit costs relative to an unlandmarked building.

With eleven residential owners, the denominator for any capital assessment is small. Read the current budget, reserves and façade inspection and maintenance record before contract, and ask whether façade or roof work is planned. Confirm the actual building height: FISP applies above six stories, so the documented six-story count alone does not trigger it.

Ownership form: Condominium. Transfers close through a right of first refusal rather than a cooperative-style board approval.

Pets, subletting, pied-à-terre use and financing: Not documented in the records available for this page. No offering plan for 39 North Moore was located in the Compass Offering Plan Library or The Roebling Research Library, the by-laws are annexed to the declaration recorded in March 1993, and the current house rules are not in the public record. Confirm each of these with the managing agent at offer stage rather than assuming the condominium default.

Landmark constraint: Exterior alterations — including windows, storefront, ironwork and rooftop equipment — require the applicable LPC permit. Qualifying work can be approved at staff level, other scopes require a Certificate of Appropriateness, and ordinary maintenance may be exempt. Buyers planning a window replacement or a rooftop addition should price the review process, not just the construction.

Real estate taxes: No abatement. Underwrite the full unabated bill on the specific unit lot.

Recent sales

Recent closings at this building, from The Roebling Research Library. Prices are the transfer amounts recorded with the NYC Department of Finance; apartment-level detail is checked against the building’s own file in The Roebling Research Library before publishing.

Market read. Most recent trades (2026 to date) cleared a median $1,543/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 5.4% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00190-7501; each condominium apartment is its own tax lot). 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 from recorded condo declarations and offering plans.
