A pre-war co-op just off Park Avenue with almost no city record to speak of.
This is a 31-unit building from the 1920s, managed by Gumley Haft. As a co-op, disputes and maintenance issues are handled internally by the board, so a clean city record points to a building that resolves its own problems, not one that lacks them. Three things to know:
The city's complaint log is basically empty. For a century-old building, the record is unusually clean. There are no open housing or building violations. A single heat complaint from Christmas Eve 2024 was logged and closed, which suggests the building is responsive when issues do arise.
The building's permit history is quiet. There are no recent permits on file with the Department of Buildings. For a property of this vintage, that means you need to confirm the status of major capital projects—like the roof, boiler, and facade work—through board minutes and building documents, since they are not reflected in the public record.
Sales activity shows a pattern of transfers into trusts. Several recent sales show units being moved into family trusts or revocable trusts. This suggests the co-op board has a framework for, and is likely amenable to, this kind of estate planning and ownership structure.
