Small, old, well-kept — and held by the same family since 1995.
19-unit elevator building from 1906 between Park and Lex. The Goldsmith and Tauber families bought it from the prior owner (114 East Realty Company) in May 1995 and have held it ever since — almost thirty years on the same deed. The record reads like a building that's actually maintained, not one that's invisible. Three things to know:
A clean record on a building that actually files its paperwork. Five complaints across five different categories over the building's history, two admin violations from 2019, registration current, bedbug report filed. The neighbor at 208 E 83 has an open admin violation for skipping that bedbug filing — this building doesn't. Small thing, but it's the kind of small thing that tells you someone is actually running the place.
No renovation activity in years. No DOB permits in the last 24 months. Consistent with cosmetic-only between-tenant refreshes — but boiler, roof, elevator, and facade are all aging in place on a 1906 frame. If your unit looks freshly redone beyond paint and floors, ask for the permit.
Ownership is a family, not an LLC stack. The 1995 deed names Goldsmith and Tauber individuals, not a holding entity. HPD routes through a managing agent. Decisions go through actual people rather than a fund — usually more responsive on small things, slower on big capital projects they'd have to personally write a check for.
