A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 423 15th 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.

423 15th Street is a purpose-built apartment house with a formal entrance that still carries the name Theodore. Thomas Bennett designed the four-story building around 1909, using Renaissance Revival ornament to give a small walk-up a substantial street presence. Its 16 residences share a garden behind the building, with apartments ranging from compact one-bedrooms to larger two-bedroom layouts.

Architecture and unit composition

An Ionic portico frames the entrance, with the building name carved into its entablature. Upper windows have decorated lintels, and the fourth-floor openings are arched. The cornice combines modillions, dentils and a classical frieze. Brick, stone and pressed metal form the principal exterior materials.

The apartment inventory includes homes of roughly 550–700 square feet and larger layouts approaching 800–960 square feet. Original room arrangements and later alterations produce differences in how living, dining and bedroom space connect. Some larger homes have separate dining areas, while more compact plans use an open living and dining room.

The shared garden supplies outdoor space to owners throughout the building. Upper-floor homes gain height above the street but require a longer stair climb. Private basement storage provides space outside the apartments, and bicycle storage reduces the need to carry bikes upstairs.

Building operations

The cooperative is professionally managed. Common facilities include laundry and the rear garden, and there is space for stroller parking at the first floor. Storage allocations should be checked as part of the apartment's transfer because basement areas are separate from the interior living space.

Historic-district designation covers the ornate entrance and other exterior elements. Repairs to the portico, cornice and street-facing windows take place within that preservation framework. The existing building also exceeds the residential floor-area allowance shown for its present zoning, so the established apartment-house volume is part of the property's value.

Full closing history with price-per-square-foot over time, the complete retrade record, and every line that has traded.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 3-01103-0069) 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 on co-ops is not officially recorded, figures shown are approximate.

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.
