Three separate buildings on this stretch carry North Moore addresses that get conflated in market conversation, and getting them apart is the first useful thing a buyer can do. 41 North Moore is the 1903 building at lot 13, nineteen feet wide, by Julius Kastner. 39 North Moore is the 1908 building at lot 12, twenty-seven feet wide, running through the block to Ericsson Place, by William Emerson. 61 North Moore is on a different block entirely. They are neighbors, not variants of one another.
What binds 41 North Moore to its surroundings is a single client and a single architect. Joseph Beams, a liquor merchant, commissioned Kastner for 10 Hubert Street in 1892, for 151 Hudson Street in 1894, and for the arcaded corner store-and-loft at 122 Hudson Street in 1897–98. In 1903 he had Kastner build 41 North Moore as what amounts to an extra bay of the corner building — the facade essentially duplicates it, and the two were joined internally. Five years later, when a different owner built 39 North Moore next door, that architect deliberately replicated Kastner's terra-cotta ornament again. The result is a continuous arcaded blockfront that reads as one composition and is in fact three separate commissions across eleven years.
The commercial life that followed is recorded too. The building was occupied for a long stretch by the Herman Metz Company, a dyestuff supplier whose principal address was the adjoining 122 Hudson Street. By 1947 the Fulton Fruit Products Company had it, using it for fruit processing and storage. This was working loft space until very late in the twentieth century.
For a buyer, the operative facts are the width and the count. Nineteen feet across and six stories tall produces five floor-through residences averaging a little over a thousand square feet each — genuinely small by Tribeca loft standards, with light from the front and the rear rather than the vast column-spanned plates of the larger conversions two blocks north. That is a specific product with a specific buyer, and it should not be underwritten against 3,000-square-foot Hudson Street lofts.
Architecture and unit composition
Six floors, five residences, one per floor, plus a ground-floor commercial unit. The residential area is 5,420 square feet across the five apartments; the commercial unit accounts for another 1,757 square feet. Because the lot is only nineteen feet wide and about seventy-five feet deep, each residence is a full-floor loft with front and rear exposures and no interior corridor — the elevator, historically, opened into the apartment.
The exterior is the reason this building is protected. Triple window groups framed by cast-iron mullions and lintels sit between brick piers; at the fifth story the same composition repeats rather than resolving into arches, which is where 41 North Moore diverges slightly from the corner building it imitates. A sheet-metal cornice crowns the facade. An ornate cast-iron fire escape spans the front. Cast-iron piers frame the one-story base above a loading platform that covers the original stepped vault, and granite slab vault covers form the sidewalk. Most of the windows retain their historic two-over-two double-hung sash, on the visible side and rear elevations as well as the front. Everything in that sentence is a Landmarks-regulated element.
Building operations
The elevator is the thing to establish before you make an offer. The Department of Buildings record is explicit and recent. Two DOB NOW applications removed the elevator equipment and abandoned the shaft. A third application, permitted in November 2025 with an approved subsequent filing in April 2026, describes the work as installing new wood framing and subflooring at each level of the interior elevator shaft, from the first floor through the sixth and the roof, at a stated cost of about $165,000; a sixty-foot scaffold was separately permitted inside the shaft in April 2026.
Read plainly, that is a six-story building converting to walk-up circulation and recovering the shaft volume as floor area. It may be the right decision for five owners facing a modernization bill on an old car in a nineteen-foot-wide building. It is also the kind of change that narrows a resale pool sharply, and it is not something a buyer will find in a listing description. Ask the board directly whether an elevator is coming back, in what form, and on what budget. If the answer is no, price the fifth and sixth floors accordingly.
The rest of the capital record is ordinary and reasonably diligent. A sprinkler system was filed for the cellar and floors one through six in 2001. The boiler was replaced in 2004. In 2012 the condominium reconstructed the sidewalk vault — replacing beams and rebuilding masonry — behind a construction fence, and in 2013 and 2014 it ran a facade campaign with a sidewalk shed, pipe scaffold and material hoist, following masonry repairs and paint maintenance filed in April 2014. A 2013 filing relocated a louver in the sidewalk platform. Private work in 2024 covered interior renovation and roof-deck modification at the sixth floor and roof, with a new VRF mechanical system and associated structural work.
With five residential owners, the denominator for any assessment is as small as it gets in Manhattan. Read the current budget, the reserve position, the elevator resolution and the most recent Local Law 11 cycle status before contract.
Policy framework
Ownership form: Condominium. Transfers close through a right of first refusal rather than cooperative board approval, which normally produces a shorter and more predictable timeline than a Tribeca co-op — but in a five-unit building the board is three or four of your neighbors, and the practical experience is closer to a small co-op than the condominium framework suggests.
Pets, subletting, pied-à-terre use and financing: not documented in the records available for this page. No offering plan for 41 North Moore was located in either the Compass Offering Plan Library or The Roebling Research Library, and the by-laws and house rules are not in the public record. Confirm each with the managing agent at offer stage rather than assuming the condominium default.
Loft Law: the Loft Board flag on this building's Department of Buildings filings is inconsistent, appearing on the 2004 and 2012 building-wide applications and not on the others. Establish whether any unit here was ever an Interim Multiple Dwelling and whether any Loft Board obligation survives. This is a specific question for the managing agent and for your attorney, not something to infer.
Landmark constraint: any exterior alteration requires a Landmarks permit before the Department of Buildings will issue one, and here that reaches the historic sash, the cast-iron fire escape and base, the cornice, and the vault covers. Window replacement in this building is a Landmarks project.
Real estate taxes: no abatement of any kind. Underwrite the full unabated bill on the specific unit lot.

41 North Moore trades as boutique Tribeca loft product at the small end of the size range: whole-floor residences in an intact landmarked 1903 building, priced per square foot rather than per room, and compared most usefully against the other small North Moore and Hudson Street conversions rather than against the serviced towers on Greenwich and West Streets.
Three variables move value inside the building. Floor is the first — light improves markedly with height on a nineteen-foot-wide lot between taller neighbors, and the sixth floor carries the roof access. Condition is the second; the residences were finished by different owners over more than twenty years and the spread between a gut-renovated loft and an original conversion is wide. The third, now, is vertical circulation: how the building resolves the elevator question will show up in pricing on the upper floors before it shows up anywhere else.

What to know if you’re buying
Establish the elevator answer first. Everything else about the building is stable and ordinary; this is not. Get the board resolution and the capital plan in writing.
Underwrite the width honestly. Nineteen feet is narrow. These are compact floor-through lofts with two exposures, not the wide-plate Tribeca product the neighborhood is known for. Buyers who want a 2,500-square-foot loft should look at the larger conversions on the same blocks; buyers who want a whole floor of their own in a landmarked 1903 building at a smaller footprint are exactly who this building is for.
Five owners is the risk and the appeal. Low common charges, no staff, no amenity program — and no cushion when the facade cycle or the shaft project lands. Read three years of financials.
No offering plan means no assumptions. Financing, sublet policy, pets and pied-à-terre use are all unknown here. Get them in writing before you sign.
What to know if you’re selling
Distinguish the building in the marketing. Buyers and their attorneys routinely confuse 41 with 39 North Moore. The Kastner attribution, the 1903 date, the internal connection to 122 Hudson Street and the separate Landmarks record are all verifiable in the designation report and are worth stating precisely.
Get ahead of the elevator. A buyer's attorney will find the DOB NOW filings. Present the board's plan proactively rather than letting it surface in diligence.
Assemble the documents the building does not publish. Because no offering plan is in circulation, the seller who can hand a buyer the by-laws, house rules, current budget and a clean minutes summary moves faster than one who cannot.

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.
