A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 42 White 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.
About the building
42 White Street incorporates an 1833–35 building erected for Abraham Richards. It was enlarged for William Collins to four stories in 1867–68; Julius Boekell added a fifth story and altered the façade in 1874. Its twenty-five-foot frontage carries Italianate and neo-Grec details, including shaped window hoods and an incised metal cornice. A later residential alteration, signed off by DOB in 2004, converted the ground floor and cellar to residential use under architect Ingrid Hustvedt.
The condominium contains five residences, with full-floor upper lofts and a large ground-level duplex entered directly from the street. The lower residence extends across approximately 3,900 square feet over its two levels. Upper accommodation includes a penthouse with private terraces and roof space. Elevator access, central air conditioning and in-home laundry are features of the loft residences, while the building’s different levels produce distinct entrance and outdoor-space arrangements.

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 1-00193-7506) and verified listing data. Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified by The Roebling Team research desk. 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.

What to know if you’re buying
The ground-level duplex includes converted cellar accommodation. Its total area should be considered alongside the permitted uses of each level, particularly when assessing any room proposed for sleeping. The upper private terraces place a different responsibility on their owners: the condominium documents determine where private maintenance ends and common roof obligations begin.

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.
