According to public records, the historic building has a new owner — listed only as 9 Noho New York LLC with an Albany, N.Y. address.
No. 9 arrived on the sales market last December with a $6.6 million ask. (The recorded sale price earlier this summer was $5.7 million.)
This past November, after 10 years at No. 9, Overthrow closed its boxing gym on the ground floor. As ownership wrote on Instagram: "Unfortunately, we took on immense debt during and post-Covid, which kept the doors open, but we can no longer afford our current lease, and the building has been listed for sale by the owner, making staying open unsustainable."
This one-time home (41 years) of the Yippies, named and created by Abbie Hoffman and Paul Krassner, ended in January 2014 after a protracted legal battle. (Read this archived story in the Times for all the legal wrangling and history.)
Overthrow was named after one of the countercultural newspapers that the Yippies published here.
New owner, old address — the future of 9 Bleecker St. is TBD. The sales listing for No. 9 stated that it "is primed for transformation into a single-family residence, multi-family with retail, or retained as a prime commercial investment."
Here's hoping whoever moves in has at least some appreciation for the history that has passed through those doors.
