About the building
Hubert Van Wagenen Jr. developed this Italianate store-and-loft building around 1858, on property his family had occupied as a house. The brownstone front rises above a cast-iron storefront made by the Architectural Iron Works Company. Early tenants included importers of china, hardware and cutlery. The building became a condominium in 1998, retaining commercial space below its residential floors.
Later work expanded the upper home into rooftop space. The enlargement, filed under architect Mark Stumer, was permitted in April 2007 and signed off in May 2012. The building now combines loft apartments with a multilevel upper residence and private terraces. Elevator access reaches the homes from a compact entrance lobby. Central heating uses Con Edison steam, while domestic hot water comes from a separate gas-fired system.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00133-7503) and verified listing data. Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified by The Roebling Team research desk.

What to know if you’re buying
Three residences share a mixed-use historic building. A few owners therefore make consequential decisions about the elevator, stone façade and roof. The enlarged upper home carries private outdoor areas whose repair responsibilities must be distinguished from the common roof, and some lenders apply additional project review to an association this small.

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.
