A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at The Wedgwood House 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.
The Wedgwood House at 69 Fifth Avenue is a 1961 cooperative that sits at one of downtown's most useful intersections — the seam where Union Square, the Flatiron district, Greenwich Village, and Chelsea all meet, between 14th and 15th Streets. It is a classic example of the well-built post-war white-brick co-op, a category prized for what it actually delivers: generous room sizes, full-service staffing, and a deep amenity set, all in a building flexible enough to suit the way people live now.
Its defining advantage is the board policy. The Wedgwood House permits washer/dryers and pets, permits pieds-à-terre and subletting with conditions, and reportedly allows co-purchasing. That combination widens the building's appeal; confirm the current terms in the governing documents and application instructions.
The location does the rest. Few addresses in Manhattan put four distinct neighborhoods, multiple subway lines, and the Union Square greenmarket within a few minutes' walk.
Architecture and unit composition
The building is a nineteen-story post-war tower in the white-brick tradition — unfussy on the exterior, with the priority placed where it counts in a building of this era: inside the apartments. The 153 residences run from studios to three-bedrooms and are known for being generous in size for the period, a function of the larger floor plates that mid-century developers could still build at this scale. Central air conditioning runs throughout, and the layouts accommodate the flexibility the board policy permits, including in-unit washer/dryers.
Building operations
The Wedgwood House is a full-service cooperative: a full-time doorman, a live-in superintendent, and a maintenance crew on site. The amenity package is deep and practical — a common roof garden with panoramic views over downtown, a laundry room, private storage, a bike room, and an on-site garage accessible from within the building, a genuine convenience in a corridor where street parking is essentially nonexistent. The liberal board posture — pieds-à-terre, co-purchasing, subletting, pets, and washer/dryers all permitted — is the building's signature operating feature and a meaningful point of differentiation from the more restrictive cooperatives nearby.

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.

Market read. Most recent trades (2026 to date) cleared a median $1,682/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 2.2% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy.

What to know if you’re buying
The buying case is access and flexibility. This cooperative permits pets and washer/dryers, permits subletting and pieds-à-terre with conditions, and reportedly allows co-purchasing. Compare current sale prices, verified apartment areas and total monthly costs with surrounding condominiums before drawing a value conclusion. Purchases still proceed through a co-op board package and interview. We help buyers read the building's financials, confirm the current sublet and financing terms, and identify the best-laid-out lines.
What to know if you’re selling
The liberal board policy is the marketing centerpiece — it may appeal to investors and part-time owners who screen many co-ops out from the start. Positioning should lead with that flexibility, then the on-site garage, the roof garden, and the generous room sizes, and anchor pricing to the downtown post-war cooperative set. The location's four-neighborhood reach and transit access are concrete selling points worth naming. We market each apartment against the most recent comparable closings in the building and the surrounding Union Square and Flatiron co-op stock.

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.
