The recorded documents use the street address 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.
90 North 5th Street is a mid-block Northside condominium from the late-2000s building wave, two blocks from the East River and a short walk from Bedford Avenue. It was filed in early 2006, months after the rezoning opened the Northside to residential construction, and was finished in 2010, after the market had turned. The sponsor sold its 23 apartments over two and a half years, from January 2010 to June 2012.
Two facts matter most for a buyer now. The 15-year 421-a benefit is finished, so apartments here have carried the full tax bill since July 2025. And the building has on-site parking, but only 11 spaces for 23 apartments. All 11 spaces were sold with apartments at the first sale, so a space comes only with a resale that includes it.
The façade is the building's visual signature. Architectural records describe a grid of setbacks and projecting balconies in shades of gray.
Architecture and unit composition
Twenty-three residences sit on five stories. The first floor holds three apartments (1A–1C), floors two through four five apartments each (A–E lines), and the fifth floor five larger units (5A–5E). Per the Department of Finance roll, the E line is the smallest at about 630 square feet, the A and B lines about 900 to 920, and the fifth-floor units about 1,070 to 1,170. Listing records describe garden duplexes on the lower floor and penthouses on more than one level at the top. Confirm any layout against the floor plans filed with the declaration.
Parking. The 11 parking spaces, P1 through P11, are each separately deeded. At the first sale every one was conveyed together with an apartment, per ACRIS. A buyer who wants parking should confirm the space is in the contract as its own lot.
Building operations
The 421-a has expired. The Department of Finance exemption roll records code 5113, "421-a, 15 years, no cap," on all 34 lots, with a benefit start of 2011. On the standard 15-year schedule the benefit runs at full value for 11 years and then steps down 20 percent a year over the last four. The roll bears that out: 60 percent of full benefit in 2022/23, 40 percent in 2023/24, 20 percent in 2024/25, and nothing from the 2025/26 roll. Owners have paid full real-estate taxes since July 2025. Any tax comparison or carrying-cost figure from before then will understate the current bill.
Sponsor position. All 23 apartments and all 11 parking spaces sold between January 2010 and June 2012. No sponsor-held residences remain, per ACRIS and the Department of Finance roll. Apartments are held by separate, unrelated owners.
Staffing and management. Not documented in the records we reviewed. Confirm with the managing agent.
Recent sales
90 North 5th trades as late-2000s Northside new construction, priced in dollars per square foot. The fifth-floor units, the garden duplexes and any apartment sold with a parking space set the top of the range. The E-line apartments are the building's entry point. With 23 apartments, resale volume is thin.
Now that the benefit has ended, the building competes on a level footing with the other fully taxed Northside condominiums of its era, including NV across the street at 101 North 5th, whose 421-a also ended in 2025. Against newer buildings with live abatements, the carrying cost here will read higher. Market comparisons should be indexed to 2025, the last complete year.

What to know if you’re buying
Use the current tax bill. Anything from before July 2025 reflects an abatement that no longer exists.
Check the deed for parking. Each space is its own lot. If a listing includes one, confirm it is conveyed in the contract.
Get the building documents. No offering plan or financial statements were found in The Roebling Research Library. A buyer's attorney should review the declaration, bylaws, current budget, reserves and any planned assessment.
Confirm leasing and pet rules in writing. They are not documented in the records we reviewed.
What to know if you’re selling
Price the parking separately. A deeded space on the Northside has its own value. Showing it makes the apartment price easier to defend.
Present the carrying cost plainly. Buyers will compare against abated buildings. Show common charges and the current full tax bill up front.
Know the unit's layout history. Duplexes and penthouses on more than one level draw questions about legal floor area and outdoor space. Have the floor plan ready.

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.
