140 Waverly Place

140 Waverly Place is a mid-sized apartment building marking a quiet stretch in the West Village. More than fifty units line its six stories, drawing tenants who want ground-floor access to tree-lined sidewalks without the block-long lobby experience. Built in the 1980s, it keeps a lower profile than the glass towers downtown yet stays within walking distance of Washington Square Park. The lobby is modest and door buzzers ensure a quick lobby-to-elevator transition. East Village energy is only a ten-minute subway ride away, while Bleecker Street cafes are an easy four-block stroll. Interior layouts favor one- and two-bedroom plans, with kitchens tucked behind pass-through openings instead of closed-off galley designs. Windows on the north side capture diffused light from the park, while south-facing exposures catch the afternoon sun above the neighborhood’s rooftops. Building management handles routine maintenance requests through an online portal and dispatches a weekday custodial team for common areas. Calls from residents and vendors can be routed to the building superintendent during weekday business hours. Notice boards on the ground floor post flyers for local services—carpet cleaners, dog walkers, electricians familiar with pre-war wiring—each with a phone number scribbled in marker. A second bulletin covers community events and building-wide announcements in case the digital newsletter goes quiet. Units occupy floors two through six, reached by two elevators that receive quarterly load tests. The management office sits on the ground floor; simply dial (212) 896-5570 for non-emergencies or after-hours concerns.
