A prewar co-op on a prime Upper East Side block with an unusually clean city record.
This is a classic 1926 co-op on one of the Upper East Side's best blocks. With only 21 units, it's an intimate building. Co-ops resolve issues internally, so a clean city record isn't proof of no problems — but the record here is silent. Three things to know:
The city has no open issues with this building. There are no open housing-code violations, and no recent construction permits have been filed. For a co-op of this vintage, that suggests a board that handles maintenance and repairs without city involvement, which is the norm for well-run private buildings.
Turnover is low, with few apartments changing hands. There have been just two sales in the past three years in this 21-unit building, and none in the last 12 months. One of those was an estate sale. Low turnover can mean stable, happy residents, but it also gives the board fewer recent comparable sales to use when evaluating an offer.
The 311 record is all about the street, not the building. Most of the 311 calls from this address are about illegal parking, including several for "Unauthorized Bus Layover." It's a specific complaint pattern that points to a recurring issue on the block, not a problem with the building itself.
