This is a pre-war co-op with an exceptionally clean public record.
A 24-unit co-op from 1904 where city agencies have found no issues for years. For co-ops, a quiet city record means issues are handled internally, not that they don't exist — a sign of a board that stays on top of things. Three things to know:
The building has a blank slate with the city. There are no open housing-code violations, and no DOB permits have been filed recently. For a building over a century old, this suggests a board that manages repairs and maintenance internally before they escalate into city-level complaints.
Turnover is slow; residents who buy here tend to stay. There's only been one unit sale in the last three years, which was from an estate. In a 24-unit building, that's a sign of a stable, long-term resident base.
