A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 533 East 13th 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.
533 East 13th Street is a five-story walk-up whose apartment mix includes full-floor homes as well as smaller subdivisions. Private outdoor space occurs at the bottom and top of the building: garden apartments open toward the rear, while an upper residence has a planted roof garden. The middle floors provide a different arrangement, with larger homes extending across the building.
The cooperative dates to 1985 in building histories, within a structure that city records date to 1900. Its present configuration reflects apartment combinations as well as the original smaller layouts. The upper floors remain reached by stairs, making the route to a full-floor home or roof garden part of the purchase decision.
The building stands on East 13th Street between Avenues A and B. The frontage and upper-floor windows face the street, while lower garden spaces occupy the interior of the block. There is no landmark designation on the property.
Architecture and unit composition
The full-floor apartments include two-bedroom, two-bathroom configurations. High ceilings and large windows give the principal rooms their proportions, and renovations have introduced open kitchen-and-living arrangements. Some homes have their own laundry and central cooling.
Garden homes place private outdoor access beside the living area. Their rooms have a direct relationship to the rear yard, while upper apartments look down toward the same block interior. The private roof garden belongs to a particular upper residence; it is not a common deck serving every shareholder.
Apartment combinations have created larger living areas within the original five-story shell. A full-floor plan reduces the division of a landing between separate apartments, but its room arrangement still follows the position of perimeter windows and the building's common stair.
Building operations
The cooperative uses intercom entry and stair access. The ten residences are held within a single cooperative property assessed in Tax Class 2C. Shareholders' maintenance supports the building's common structure and systems as well as property taxes.
Private outdoor areas introduce responsibilities beyond the interior rooms. At ground level, access and maintenance involve the yard adjoining the apartment; at the top, planting and roof use sit over the building's common enclosure. The proprietary lease and any outdoor-space agreement establish the particular rights being transferred.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00407-0044) 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.

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.
