About the building
40 East 19th Street was built in 1904–05 as a manufacturing loft for Brody, Adler & Koch Company. Architects Sass & Smallheiser also occupied space here, alongside early home-furnishings tenants. The 42-foot-wide stone façade rises through a two-story commercial base, a transitional story, a five-story central section and a decorated upper story. Ionic colonnettes, a central cartouche and shell finials give the building its Beaux-Arts detail. It became a cooperative in 1980.
The residences are large lofts, with full-floor layouts of approximately 3,300 to 3,400 square feet among the homes that have traded. Broad floor plates allow separate bedrooms alongside substantial open living areas. A key-locked elevator provides access, and the building uses a video intercom. The uppermost accommodation includes a multilevel penthouse.

The latest available FISP filing classified the facade as Safe — no repairs were required at that inspection. A filed Safe grade is not a guarantee of current condition: owners still maintain the facade and, where required, observe parapets each year. Future inspection timing (Local Law 49 of 2025 changed the cycle framework from October 1, 2026), repair and any assessment decisions remain building-specific.
How to read this, and where it comes from
QEWI = Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector — a licensed professional engineer or registered architect who meets DOB’s FISP qualifications and signs the report (the independent expert, not the managing agent).
Penalties shown are amounts DOB assessed against filings on record across 2005–10 to 2020–25. The FISP dataset does not record whether they were paid, contested or remain open, so treat the figure as history rather than a current balance and confirm the building’s standing with the managing agent.

The retrade record
Lines that have traded more than once in the public record — the building’s appreciation arc, apartment by apartment.
Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00847-0050). 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.

What to know if you’re buying
The decorative stone front belongs to an eight-residence cooperative. Exterior restoration is subject to the Ladies' Mile designation, and the cost is shared through a small shareholder base. A façade project can involve the carved ornament, metal spandrels and upper cornice as well as the main stone surfaces.

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.
