About the building
422 Second Street was designed as an apartment building, with broad floor-through plans behind a tan-brick Romanesque Revival façade. Brownstone forms the base and horizontal bands, while arched upper windows sit below a substantial cornice. Historical mapping places its construction between 1884 and 1898. The four-home cooperative occupies a building approximately nineteen and a half feet wide and seventy feet deep.
Its long apartments have separate living and dining rooms, rear bedrooms and additional small rooms suited to varied uses. Interior light wells and air shafts bring daylight into the deep plans. Original woodwork, pocket doors and wood-burning fireplaces remain within the residential inventory. All homes have access to a shared rear garden. A common cellar contains laundry, a recreation room and dedicated lockable storage for each apartment; residents also have rooftop access.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 3-00975-0035). 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
Shared rooms beyond the apartments: The cellar recreation area and garden are common facilities in this self-managed cooperative. Their use and upkeep depend on arrangements among four shareholders. Rooftop access should be distinguished from permission to install a deck or reserve an area for private use; the cooperative's consent is necessary for either change.

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.
