A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 105 West 73rd Street 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.
105 West 73rd Street is a quintessential Upper West Side pre-war cooperative — an elegant nine-story brick building from 1920, set on one of the best tree-lined blocks in the neighborhood, between Columbus and Amsterdam Avenues. It is the kind of building that anchors the area's appeal: pre-war proportions, a prime block, and Central Park a short walk east.
This profile does not document the cooperative's financial condition or governance. No audited financial statements, budget or reserve study were reviewed for it, so establish the building's financial position from the current statements before an offer. For buyers who want classic pre-war character and a location between the park and the avenue's restaurants and transit, it is a building to evaluate on those documents.
Architecture and unit composition
The building is a restrained, handsome example of the 1920 Upper West Side apartment house — a nine-story brick masonry composition whose elegance comes from its proportions and its placement on a well-preserved tree-lined block rather than from elaborate ornament. It reads as exactly what it is: a dignified, of-its-era pre-war building that belongs to the streetscape around it.
Inside, the 38 residences carry the pre-war vocabulary the Upper West Side is prized for — high ceilings, hardwood floors, and the room scale and light of a 1920 building. The layouts range from efficient one-bedrooms to larger family homes, the kind of varied pre-war stock that suits first-time buyers and long-term residents alike.
Building operations
105 West 73rd Street is a boutique cooperative. A resident superintendent manages the building day to day, with secured entry, and residents have a central laundry room, bicycle storage, and private storage. Management quality, maintenance history and financial position are not documented in this profile; review the current financial statements, budget and capital history.
As a cooperative, purchases require board package review and an interview, and financing, sublet, and pied-à-terre terms follow the building's proprietary lease and house rules; we review the current board posture and carrying costs with buyers during a transaction. With 38 residences, costs are spread over a small number of owners, so the budget, reserves and any assessments matter to each one; review them.
The management schedule dated July 29, 2026 permits subletting with conditions, but gives the minimum continuous residence period as “twenty (24) months”; obtain written clarification rather than selecting either duration. It states an initial lease of 3–12 months, one renewal of up to 12 months at the board’s discretion, and an overall limit of 24 months in any 60-month period unless the board approves otherwise. Confirm the current operative rule before relying on those dated terms.

The latest available filing classified the facade as SWARMP — Safe With A Repair and Maintenance Program: the inspector (QEWI) identified conditions requiring monitoring or repair, with repairs due by the deadline stated in the filing. The scope, timeline, and how the building funds the work are building-specific — we review the filings and board materials for you.
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
Diligence covers the building as well as the apartment. Review the cooperative's financials and reserve fund; this profile does not document them, so establish the building's financial position from the current statements. Confirm the exposure and light of the specific unit, since pre-war layouts vary line to line. Expect a board package and interview. Value the location above all: a tree-lined block a short walk from Central Park, with the 1/2/3 at 72nd Street and the B/C at 72nd Street/Central Park West both close, and Columbus Avenue's restaurants and shops immediately at hand.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with location and the pre-war building. A pre-war co-op on a prime tree-lined block between Columbus and Amsterdam is the core of the pitch. Foreground the pre-war proportions, the block, and the proximity to the park and transit. If the current financial statements and reserve position support it, add them to the package with the documents behind them. Pricing should reference both the building's own trade history and the surrounding Upper West Side pre-war market in the low 70s.

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.
