About the building
44 Morton Street is a Greek Revival townhouse built in 1844–45 for John McLean. Its brick façade and classical entrance stand near the bend in Morton Street, within the Greenwich Village Historic District. The house is associated with poet Joseph Brodsky: The New Yorker identifies this address as his New York home and describes the preservation of objects from his study in a museum devoted to him.
The condominium has compact apartments as well as larger combined homes. A three-bedroom triplex links garden, parlor and upper living levels, retaining fireplaces and exposed structural details. Other homes are single-level apartments, with terraces attached to selected upper accommodation. Common access is by stairs, and renovated interiors include washer-dryers. Basement storage is available with some residences.

What to know if you’re buying
Combined homes can have a more complicated title history. A larger residence here has been assembled from formerly separate apartments. Its condominium lot coverage and common-interest allocation need to correspond to the entire space being purchased, including any associated storage or exterior rights.

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.
