About the building
45 East 1st Street is a small condominium formed from a five-story prewar building in 1986. Nine residences occupy the building above and alongside a separate commercial component. The street-level space underwent a change from store use to an eating-and-drinking establishment under a DOB alteration signed off in 2009. Residential access is by stairs, with no elevator.
The apartments include compact studios, one-bedroom homes and larger duplex configurations. Exposed brick, fireplaces and high ceilings appear in the residential interiors. Lower homes can extend to private garden space; upper layouts include terraces or balconies, and selected top-floor spaces receive additional light through skylights. A shared roof deck provides outdoor access beyond the apartments with their own exterior areas. In-unit laundry is present in some renovated homes, while the internal division of sleeping and living areas varies with the apartment's alterations.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00442-7501) 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
Upper apartments and the common roof deck require climbing the shared stairs; a duplex adds another internal level. That access arrangement is a meaningful distinction between the garden-level homes and the upper-floor inventory. With only nine residential interests, major common-area work is funded by a small group of owners.

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.
