788 9Th Ave

A five-story red-brick prewar cooperative built in 1920, this intimate walk-up contains a dozen primarily one-bedroom homes arranged around classic townhouse proportions. Typical units showcase high ceilings, hardwood floors, exposed brick and original mouldings, with many apartments renovated to include modern windowed kitchens, upgraded baths and in-unit laundry where permitted. The small scale preserves a residential feel: a modest lobby with video intercom, a shared basement laundry room, and limited common storage. Exterior amenities include a planted garden and select units with private outdoor spaces under 60 square feet; there are no on-site parking facilities. House rules reflect a largely owner-occupied co-op culture: cats are permitted while dogs generally are not, pied-à-terres, guarantors and gifting are commonly allowed, and subletting is evaluated by the board. Located between West 52nd and 53rd Streets in Hell’s Kitchen/Clinton, the building sits steps from theaters, restaurants, Midtown offices, and multiple subway lines, offering a blend of prewar character and convenient urban access.
