A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 47 Howard 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.
About the building
47 Howard Street is a through-block Italianate commercial building dating to about 1863, with frontage on both Howard and Canal Streets. Its five-story, three-bay stone-and-iron exterior belongs to the early commercial fabric of the SoHo-Cast Iron Historic District. The property became a residential loft cooperative and retains retail space whose rent contributes to the corporation's income.
The residential floors include broad lofts with elevator access. At the top, a roughly 3,000-square-foot home combines high ceilings, several exposures and exclusive roof rights. The cooperative is self-managed, so its small shareholder group oversees both the residential building and its commercial tenancy.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00231-0003) 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.

What to know if you’re buying
Exclusive roof rights and the difference between built and permitted floor area do not themselves authorize a rooftop addition. Work above this designated building would also depend on the proprietary lease, cooperative consent, LPC approval and applicable building regulations; the roof-rights agreement should establish maintenance responsibility as well as use.

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.
