Bernstein & Bernstein designed this Renaissance Revival building in 1902-03 for Irving Judis, a Russian-born house contractor who was linked to the developers of the matching tenement next door at 22-24 Leroy. It spanned two 20-foot lots and held four apartments per floor over ground-story shops. Census records show most residents in 1910 were Italian-born, and a tailor occupied the storefront in the 1930s before it was converted to an apartment by the 1980s.
