20 University Place was built in 1965 — roughly 61 years old. This is a co-op building with 323 apartments — residents own shares in the corporation that owns the building, rather than their apartments outright. Apartments average about 1,300 sq ft (building area divided by apartment count — individual units vary). For property-tax purposes it falls under Class 2 (residential buildings with four or more units, condos and co-ops), taxed at 12.439% of a taxable value based on 45% of the city’s income-derived market value. The corporation pays one building-wide tax bill — about $6,729,825 per year — passed to residents through monthly maintenance in proportion to each apartment’s share allocation. A straight average works out to roughly $20,835 per apartment per year, though larger apartments carry more shares (and many primary residents get the co-op/condo abatement on top). The most recent recorded sale in the building was unit 14L, for $880,000 in Aug 2026.
City landmark records describe it as an apartment building dating to 1965, originally used as residential, multi-family. It stands within the Greenwich Village Historic District.
The building already exceeds what current residential zoning would allow (10.37 built FAR vs. a residential maximum of 6.02) — typically a grandfathered or overbuilt structure that could not be rebuilt to this size under today’s rules. Those figures are for residential use — a community-facility use (a doctor’s office, clinic, or school) raises the ceiling to 6.50 FAR, and the lot also carries a commercial allowance of 2.00 FAR. This lot is associated with a co-op; individual apartments are owned as shares and taxed through the building.
