100 Central Park South is a small prewar building on the most valuable residential frontage in Manhattan, and almost everything interesting about it comes from the fact that it was very nearly demolished.
The building and the adjoining Barbizon-Plaza Hotel were acquired together in 1981 by Donald Trump, who intended to clear both sites and build a single large tower on the combined parcel. 100 Central Park South was a rent-controlled and rent-stabilized building, and its tenants did not leave. The dispute that followed — tenants alleging withheld heat, hot water and repairs; litigation beginning in 1982; a settlement in 1986 under which the buildings stood and the tenants kept their rents — was covered extensively in the New York press at the time and is one of the better-documented tenant-landlord fights of the 1980s in Manhattan. The Barbizon-Plaza was converted instead and became Trump Parc next door; 100 Central Park South was renovated, kept its tenants, and did not become a condominium until the plan was declared in July 1997, with the first closings in May 1998.
That history is not decoration. It explains the building's present structure. The 1997 plan was a non-eviction plan: tenants in occupancy were offered a substantial discount off filing-date prices, an extended exclusive purchase period, a financing contingency and a multi-year waiver of major capital improvement rent increases, and non-purchasing tenants stayed. Nearly thirty years later the sponsor still held thirteen apartments as rentals as of the most recent amendment on file, and twelve residential unit lots have never been individually conveyed in ACRIS. A buyer here is buying into a building that is a condominium in law and, in part, still a rental in practice.
What the building offers in exchange is the address and the outlook. The southern edge of Central Park is a fixed asset: north-facing lines above the second or third floor look directly into the park across a street that cannot be built out. On a 14-story building that view arrives at a lower altitude — and a lower price — than it does in the towers to the west, and the prewar plates behind it are proportioned in a way the postwar and new-construction inventory on the corridor is not.
Architecture and unit composition
The building is a fourteen-story masonry apartment house of the late 1910s at the corner of Sixth Avenue, with retail at grade under a single commercial condominium unit that was never offered for sale. The original design credit has not survived into any record we can verify — not the Landmarks Preservation Commission's survey database, not the Department of Buildings' digital filing history, and not the offering plan — and we would rather say so than repeat an attribution we cannot support.
The 1997 offering ran to 81 residences on a stack numbered 2A through 14G with two penthouse units at the top, and the plan already recorded several vertical combinations across the 11th and 12th floors. Today's unit-lot count of 79 reflects further combination work. Layouts run small to mid-sized by Central Park South standards; the value spread inside the building is driven almost entirely by whether a line faces north into the park and how high it sits, with renovation condition a close second.
Because the plan's descriptive sections did not survive legibly in the copy on file, we do not publish room counts, square-foot schedules or line-by-line exposures here. Those belong to the individual apartment and should be confirmed from the current offering documents at diligence.
Building operations
This is a small, service-light building. An attended lobby, elevators, a laundry room and a resident manager are the extent of what the condominium provides; there is no garage, no fitness facility and no pool. Common charges reflect that, and so does the building's operating posture — the running cost of a 79-unit prewar condominium with a single commercial unit at grade is a very different number from the cost of an amenitized tower on the same corridor, and buyers comparing the two should model the full monthly carry rather than the common charge alone.
Two operating facts from the documents on file are worth carrying into diligence. The plan amendments disclose required Local Law 11 facade work scheduled for 2020, which is the periodic exterior-inspection cycle every Manhattan building of this height must satisfy, and which on a century-old masonry facade is a recurring capital item rather than a one-time event. And the sponsor's retained apartments are unmortgaged rentals paying common charges and taxes into the same budget as everyone else — a stable but concentrated source of building income, and a concentration worth understanding before you underwrite.
Ask the managing agent for the last two years of audited statements, current board minutes, the reserve position, the status of the facade cycle, and the current count of sponsor-held units. The last of those changes and matters more here than at most buildings.
Policy framework
We do not publish a policy stack we cannot support. The sections of the offering plan and by-laws that would establish the right of first refusal, transfer fee, subletting rules, pet policy, pied-à-terre position and washer/dryer permission are not legible in the copy on file in The Roebling Research Library, and no reliable secondary record substitutes for them.
What we can state: a board-adopted smoking policy bars smoking in every common area and on terraces and balconies while permitting it inside apartments; the building is a condominium rather than a cooperative, so there is no board interview or financing minimum in the co-op sense; and the sponsor's retained units continue to be leased. Every other policy question should be put to the managing agent in writing before an offer is signed.

The latest available FISP filing classified the facade as Safe — no repairs were required at that inspection. Facade inspections run on a fixed five-year cycle; future inspection, repair, and any assessment decisions remain building-specific.

Recent sales
100 Central Park South trades on the same logic as the rest of the corridor — park frontage, altitude and exposure — but at the scale and price point of a small prewar condominium rather than a trophy tower. North-facing lines with a direct park outlook anchor the top of the building's range; south- and west-facing lines over Sixth Avenue and the block interior trade well below them, and the spread between the two is wider here than in a building where every unit has a view.
Two structural features shape pricing in ways a buyer should price consciously. The first is the amenity gap: this is a doorman building without a gym, a garage or a lounge, on a corridor where the competing product frequently has all three. The second is the sponsor-rental overhang. A converted building in which a meaningful minority of apartments have never been sold has a thinner and lumpier resale record than its unit count suggests, which makes single-comparable analysis unreliable and makes the corridor read more important than the building read. Index any market statement to the last complete calendar year rather than the partial current one, which at a building of this size is too thin to support a conclusion.

What to know if you’re buying
Verify the tax lot before you underwrite. The city's geocoder returns a unit lot for this address that has no PLUTO record. The building is block 1011, lot 7505. Comparables pulled against 1010117001 will be empty, and comparables pulled against 106 Central Park South are a different condominium.
Ask how many units the sponsor still holds. Thirteen as of the most recent amendment on file, rented and unmortgaged. That number drives the building's income concentration, the depth of its resale record, and how a lender views the project.
Get the policy stack in writing. The provisions we would normally publish here are not legible in the plan copy on file. Right of first refusal, sublet rules, pets, pied-à-terre and washer/dryer all need to come from the managing agent.
Price the view, not the address. The north-facing park lines and the interior lines are effectively two different buildings. Do not let a corridor-level price per square foot carry an interior apartment.
Budget for the facade cycle. A century-old masonry facade on a 14-story building is a recurring capital item. Ask where the building is in its inspection cycle and what the last cycle cost.
Mansion tax may apply. Run pricing through the Mansion Tax Calculator.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the park, then the price point. A direct Central Park outlook at this altitude and this price is the building's whole proposition against the towers to the west.
Get ahead of the sponsor-rental question. A well-prepared buyer's attorney will find it. Having the current sponsor-unit count, the rent roll position and the board's history since 2001 ready is far better than being asked.
Have the documents assembled before you list. The plan copy in general circulation is poor. A seller who can produce clean current financials, minutes and house rules removes the single biggest source of buyer discount here.
Distinguish the building from its neighbour. Buyers and appraisers conflate 100 and 106 Central Park South constantly. They are separate condominiums with separate budgets and separate resale records, and the distinction is worth making explicitly in the listing materials.

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.
