Change in the building’s median $/sf over each window, on a floor-adjusted basis — standardized to the building’s average floor, so it reflects price rather than which floors happened to sell. This is a different method from The Roebling Index, which publishes plain medians and applies no floor adjustment; the two are not interchangeable. Floor adjustment standardizes for floor only. It does not control for condition, size, exposure, renovation or the mix of what happened to trade. (2022 marks the rate-shock inflection.) Like-for-like repeat-sale figures to follow.
422 West 20th Street prices as a small landmarked Chelsea condominium rather than as a new-development tower. Value inside the building turns on floor, exposure and whether a home has been renovated since the 2012 conversion; the garden and parlor-level residences and the fifth-floor homes sit at the two ends of the range for different reasons. Against the wider Chelsea condominium market, the building's arguments are its scale, its historic-district frontage, the Close, and a carrying cost that is not being propped up by an expiring abatement. Against them run the constraints any five-story landmarked conversion carries: no doorman on duty overnight, a fitness room rather than a full amenity floor, and Landmarks review over any exterior work.
The comparable set is narrow and local — the West 19th and West 20th Street condominiums on the same block and the small conversions on the streets immediately east. Buyers should index pricing to the last complete year rather than to partial-year data, which in a thirty-seven-unit building is thin enough to mislead in either direction. Unit-level transaction history is maintained in The Roebling Research Library and shared with clients during diligence.
The complete recorded-sale history for 422W20, compiled from NYC Department of Finance transfer records, with apartment-by-apartment detail from The Roebling Research Library. Across sales with a public asking price, the building carries a median listing discount of 3.7% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy here.

Every recorded sale
Sort any column; filter by unit or keyword. Prices are the recorded transfer amount at the NYC Department of Finance. Every sale sits in one of three states: counted in the building’s medians and trend; shown but excluded as a non-arms-length or nominal transfer; or shown and ⚑ flagged for review — a possible duplicate filing or an extreme $/sf outlier, held out of the statistics pending manual verification rather than allowed to move them.

Sources, exclusions and how these figures are computed
Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00717-7504; each condominium apartment is its own tax lot). 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 from recorded condo declarations and offering plans. Storage, parking, and commercial units are excluded from all figures. Floor- and line-level $/sf are time-controlled (each sale measured against the building’s going rate at the time of sale) and expressed at today’s pricing, so they isolate the floor or line premium rather than blend two decades of market movement.
