A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 1 East End Avenue would likely sell for today, what it costs to sell, and what you’d walk away with — reviewed personally against condition, exposures, renovation quality, and the competition actually on the market.
1 East End Avenue is one of the most distinctive pre-war cooperatives on the Upper East Side, and its plot is the reason. Erected in 1929 to designs by Pennington & Lewis, the fourteen-story building stands on a trapezoidal lot along the East River and the FDR Drive — just 29 feet wide at its southern end, where it tapers to a ship's-prow, widening to 51 feet at the north. The result is a building shaped by its site, with four projecting bay windows oriented squarely at the river and some of the best East River views the Upper East Side has ever offered.
From the start the building drew an established clientele — financiers, executives, and insurance men competing for the river outlook — and it has remained a small, closely held, full-service co-op of just 32 apartments. For buyers, the appeal is specific and scarce: direct river frontage, a one-of-a-kind footprint, and pre-war proportions on the quiet East End Avenue enclave, a short walk from Carl Schurz Park and the East 79th Street crosstown corridor.
Architecture and unit composition
Pennington & Lewis gave 1 East End a warm, restrained pre-war face: soft orange brick over a limestone base, with the four projecting bays that distinguish the river elevation and make the most of the unusual plot. The ship's-prow southern end is the building's signature — an architectural response to the trapezoidal site that no conventional rectangular building could match.
The 32 apartments are pre-war in scale and detail — high ceilings, hardwood floors, gracious and well-separated rooms — and the river-facing homes carry the projecting bays and the open eastern water views that define the building's value. With so few apartments and such a specific footprint, the layouts are individual rather than uniform, and the river lines are the most coveted. The building's intimacy and provenance make it a long-tenured, owner-occupant co-op.
Building operations
1 East End operates as a full-service cooperative, with a full-time doorman, a live-in resident manager, central laundry, and storage; the building is pet-friendly. Purchases proceed through the standard co-op board package and interview. Review the current budget, audited statements, debt and any assessments with the board package.

The latest available FISP filing classified the facade as Safe — no repairs were required at that inspection. A filed Safe grade is not a guarantee of current condition: owners still maintain the facade and, where required, observe parapets each year. Future inspection timing (Local Law 49 of 2025 changed the cycle framework from October 1, 2026), repair and any assessment decisions remain building-specific.
How to read this, and where it comes from
QEWI = Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector — a licensed professional engineer or registered architect who meets DOB’s FISP qualifications and signs the report (the independent expert, not the managing agent).
Penalties shown are amounts DOB assessed against filings on record across 2005–10 to 2020–25. The FISP dataset does not record whether they were paid, contested or remain open, so treat the figure as history rather than a current balance and confirm the building’s standing with the managing agent.

What to know if you’re buying
This is a co-op, so plan for a board package and interview and the financial review a conservative pre-war building conducts. The reward is genuinely scarce: direct East River frontage, projecting bay windows, and a one-of-a-kind plot in a small, full-service building near Carl Schurz Park. Because river-facing homes here come to market so rarely, a buyer drawn to the water views should be ready to move when one appears. We help buyers understand the building's financials, evaluate the exposure and layout of an individual home, and prepare a board package that clears cleanly.
What to know if you’re selling
The selling story is the river and the building's singularity. A bay-windowed, water-facing home in a ship's-prow pre-war on the East River is a category buyers seek out by name, and the marketing should lead with the view, the projecting bays, and the Pennington & Lewis provenance and unusual plot. Pricing belongs against the building's own history and the small set of river-front East End pre-wars rather than against ordinary Upper East Side comparables. We position these homes to the buyer who specifically wants the East River and the one-of-a-kind footprint.

How to read the facts on this page. Items attributed to an offering plan describe the building as it was offered at that filing — unit mix, square footage, the amenity program as planned. They are not a statement about how the building operates today. Tax and compliance figures are sourced separately to current City records and carry their own dates. House rules, staffing and fee policy can change by board resolution without any public filing: treat every policy line here as a starting point for diligence and confirm it with the managing agent. Where this page compares one building or neighborhood to another, that is our analysis of the recorded record — it names the measure, the period and the sample it rests on, and it is an observation about medians rather than a prediction about any particular apartment.
