A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 47 East 9th 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.
47 East 9th Street is a large, well-staffed postwar cooperative on East 9th Street between University Place and Broadway — a quiet, central block just south of Union Square. It is the kind of building that anchors a value-conscious downtown search: a full-time doorman, elevators, on-site parking, and a deep apartment count, in a neighborhood where prewar charm usually comes without the staffing of a larger postwar building.
The location is one of the most connected downtown. Union Square's transit hub and greenmarket are a short walk north, NYU and Washington Square sit to the west, and the Village and East Village restaurant fabric is at hand. This is the "South of Union Square" district that Village Preservation has campaigned to protect for its older architecture; the area is not currently landmarked, and as a 1964 building, 47 East 9th is itself a representative of the postwar layer of the neighborhood.
Architecture and unit composition
Built in 1964, 47 East 9th Street is a thirteen-story postwar elevator cooperative with 173 apartments — a substantial building by Village standards. The architecture is the practical white-brick postwar idiom of its era: efficient, well-lit layouts spanning studios, one-bedrooms, and two-bedrooms, served by multiple elevators. It is a building valued for service and location rather than for architectural distinction, with full-time doorman service, elevators, central laundry, bike storage and parking to compare directly with the service lists of specific alternatives.
Building operations
47 East 9th Street operates as a full-service cooperative with a full-time doorman, elevators, central laundry, a bike room, storage, and on-site parking. As a co-op, monthly maintenance covers building operations, staff, and the building's underlying mortgage and real-estate taxes. The building is pet-friendly — both cats and dogs are permitted — subject to board approval, and pieds-à-terre have historically been considered.
As with any cooperative purchase, the board conducts a financial and personal review and an interview, and approval is required. Specific board financial requirements — minimum down payment, post-closing liquidity, debt-to-income limits, any flip tax, and the exact terms of the sublet policy — are board-set and can change; confirm the current requirements at offer stage. As with any large postwar building, buyers should review recent financials, board minutes, and any building-systems or capital-project reporting during due diligence.
Sublet and pied-à-terre policy
A condominium owner leasing a unit and a co-op shareholder subletting are different rules, and a building-wide rule is different from a restriction on one apartment. This is the building's rule; confirm it for the specific apartment.

The latest available filing classified the facade as SWARMP — Safe With A Repair and Maintenance Program: the inspector (QEWI) identified conditions requiring monitoring or repair, with repairs due by the deadline stated in the filing. The scope, timeline, and how the building funds the work are building-specific — we review the filings and board materials for you.
How to read this, and where it comes from
QEWI = Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector — a licensed professional engineer or registered architect who meets DOB’s FISP qualifications and signs the report (the independent expert, not the managing agent).
Penalties shown are amounts DOB assessed against filings on record across 2005–10 to 2020–25. The FISP dataset does not record whether they were paid, contested or remain open, so treat the figure as history rather than a current balance and confirm the building’s standing with the managing agent.

Recent sales
47 East 9th Street trades as a cooperative, so pricing is most usefully discussed on a price-per-room basis — a co-op price reflects the buyer's equity above the building's underlying financing rather than the apartment's full unencumbered value. Pricing is driven by room count, floor, exposure, and renovation level, with the full-service operation, the on-site parking, and the south-of-Union-Square location supporting value. The 173-apartment count does not establish sale frequency or a deep comparable set. Assess dated internal and nearby sales for similarity, adjusting for room count, floor, exposure and condition.

Market read. Most recent trades (2026 to date) cleared a median $1,951/sf (floor-adjusted) across 1 sale. Floor-adjusted means each sale is restated to a constant mix of floors, so the figure can differ from the plain median of the sales listed above. Median listing discount 2.9% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy.

What to know if you’re buying
Full service and real scale. A doorman, elevators, on-site parking, and 173 apartments make this a full-service building of real scale.
Pets are welcome with approval. Both cats and dogs are permitted, subject to the board.
Confirm board financials at offer stage. Down-payment minimum, post-closing liquidity, any flip tax, and sublet terms are board-set; verify the current requirements before you commit.
It's south of Union Square, not in the historic district. The block is not currently landmarked — a character note, not a value concern.
Review the large-building financials. In a building of this size, the budget, reserves, and any capital projects are worth reading during diligence.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with service, parking, and location. The full-service operation, the on-site garage, and the block just south of Union Square are the strongest selling points against unstaffed co-ops nearby.
Prepare the buyer for the board. A clean, well-documented board package and a financially qualified buyer are the heart of a successful co-op sale. We manage the package and the board timeline end to end.
Price to room-by-room comps. Establish the usable comparable set from actual dated transfers, adjusting for room count, floor, outlook and condition; the 173-unit count alone does not establish liquidity.

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.
