A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 41 Perry Street 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.
41 Perry Street is a narrow-lot apartment building by George F. Pelham, constructed for Jacob Klingenstein just before the turn of the twentieth century. Its Romanesque ornament, surviving storefront cornice and roof cornice preserve the distinction between the commercial ground floor and the apartments above. The building occupies a 25-foot-wide site within the original Greenwich Village Historic District.
The original plan belongs to the old-law tenement period, before the 1901 Tenement House Act. Its dumbbell configuration placed shallow recesses along the sides of the building to provide openings within a deep lot. That history explains why street-facing rooms, rear rooms and interior exposures can differ substantially within a small footprint.
The cooperative now includes compact one-bedroom homes and larger apartments created through combinations. The upper floors remain accessible by stairs. Commercial space remains part of the building's street-level use.
Architecture and unit composition
The fifth-floor arched windows are among the clearest Romanesque features. The masonry front is divided vertically into a small number of window bays, with decorative bands and a projecting cornice completing the elevation. The storefront has its own cornice below the residential stories.
Typical smaller homes have separate living and sleeping rooms. Historical transactions include apartments of roughly 350–500 square feet, alongside a larger home recorded at approximately 820 square feet. Combined apartments add another category, with more interior area than the original small layouts. These differences are substantial within a building whose entire street frontage is only 25 feet.
South-facing front apartments look onto Perry Street. Rear homes can have north and east exposures toward the gardens, while higher ceilings and tall windows are recurring prewar features. In-unit laundry has been installed in some homes. Renovations have altered kitchens, partitions and storage, so the present inventory includes both compact original-scale layouts and expanded combinations.
Building operations
A superintendent and voice-intercom entry serve the cooperative. There is no elevator. The six-story configuration makes the number of flights a practical consideration for upper-floor apartments, including the larger combinations that have traded near the top of the building's range.
The cooperative holds a single tax lot with both residential and commercial space. Its assessment falls in Class 2, and the existing building substantially exceeds the residential floor-area allowance shown for its R6 zoning. Its historic-district designation also brings exterior alterations within LPC review, including changes to the street façade and windows.

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.
