Post-war Yorkville co-op with a substantial footprint and a steady transaction history.
Built in the mid-century, this 87th Street building has been cooperative housing for decades but still sees occasional sales from the original sponsor entity, Roc-Century Associates. While the building's own maintenance file is relatively light on active city citations, the surrounding blocks are highly active. Three things to know:
An open chemical odor complaint has been sitting on the file since September 2024. A resident reported a chemical odor coming from the building on September 26, 2024, and the issue remains unresolved on the official tracker. In a building of this size, chemical or solvent smells often point to HVAC issues, riser leaks, or ground-floor commercial venting.
A sponsor entity still holds units and occasionally sells them off. Out of the 9 sales in the last 12 months, one was a transfer from Roc-Century Associates in December 2025 for $540,000. When a sponsor retains shares decades after a conversion, it means they still hold voting blocks and potentially lease out units as rentals.
Late-night commercial noise is a frequent presence in the immediate area. There were 112 commercial noise complaints logged within three blocks of the building in the last 12 months, with the most recent report on June 25, 2026. The vast majority of these call out loud music or parties, reflecting the active bar and restaurant scene nearby on 2nd and 3rd Avenues.
