Change in the building’s median $/sf over each window, adjusted to a floor-adjusted basis — standardized to the building’s average floor, so it reflects price rather than which floors happened to sell. (2022 marks the rate-shock inflection.) Like-for-like repeat-sale figures to follow.
The Library launched sales in June 2021, and the sellout was fast: all eleven residences closed between January 2021 and January 2022. Since then the building has been close to dormant in the public record — one subsequent deed appears across the eleven lots through the third quarter of 2026, and it does not read as an arm's-length resale.
There is therefore effectively no same-building resale record. A valuation has to be built from the original closings adjusted forward and from the surrounding Lower East Side condominium set — the boutique post-2015 inventory and the small group of downtown adaptive-reuse conversions — priced per square foot with explicit adjustments for the absence of any tax abatement and for the building's minimal staffing. Index any market statement to the last complete year rather than to partial current-year data, which in a building with this little turnover is close to meaningless.
Unit-level transaction history is maintained in The Roebling Research Library and shared with clients during diligence.
The complete recorded-sale history for The Library, compiled from NYC Department of Finance transfer records and verified listing data, then enriched apartment-by-apartment by The Roebling Team research desk. Across sales with a public asking price, the building carries a median listing discount of 0.7% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy here.

The retrade record

Every recorded sale
Sort any column; filter by unit or keyword. Prices are the recorded transfer amount at the NYC Department of Finance. Every sale sits in one of three states: counted in the building’s medians and trend; shown but excluded as a non-arms-length or nominal transfer; or shown and ⚑ flagged for review — a possible duplicate filing or an extreme $/sf outlier, held out of the statistics pending manual verification rather than allowed to move them.

The most recent eligible transfer recorded at this building is from 2022. Our records run through August 2026; no later qualifying sale has been recorded here, which for a small or tightly held building is common rather than a gap in the data.
Sources, exclusions and how these figures are computed
Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00415-7503) 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. Storage, parking, and commercial units are excluded from all figures. Floor- and line-level $/sf are time-controlled (each sale measured against the building’s going rate at the time of sale) and expressed at today’s pricing, so they isolate the floor or line premium rather than blend two decades of market movement.
