A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at Sutton Hall; The Sutton 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.
Sutton Hall is a 1932 Tudor-style cooperative just off Austin Street. Its six-story form and 85 apartments place it within Forest Hills' prewar elevator-building stock. The exterior's historic character continues inside through substantial entry foyers, arched passageways and the room proportions of the original apartment plans.
The building offers a range from one-bedroom homes to much larger multiroom configurations. Junior-four plans add a separate dining area that has sometimes been adapted for another use, while larger apartments have more distinct living, dining and sleeping rooms. The difference between those layouts is visible in circulation and room size as well as the advertised bedroom count.
Ascan Avenue connects the building to Austin Street's shops and restaurants. The Forest Hills railroad station and the Queens Boulevard subway corridor provide different commuting options within the surrounding neighborhood. The property itself is not designated by LPC, despite the historic architectural character of the building and nearby streets.
Architecture and unit composition
The Tudor-style exterior belongs to the neighborhood's early-1930s apartment-house development. The building uses a broad masonry footprint with repeated window openings and an elevator-served interior. Its moderate height keeps the apartments close to the surrounding street and roofscape.
Inside, many homes retain high ceilings, wood flooring, crown molding and arched transitions between rooms. Entry foyers can be large enough to function as distinct interior spaces before the living room. Separate dining areas occur in several layouts, and some larger plans include more than one bathroom.
The recorded apartment inventory includes homes around 875 to 900 square feet as well as larger residences around 1,200 to 1,500 square feet. These dimensions help explain why two homes with the same nominal bedroom count can feel quite different. A large foyer, a separate dining room and an additional corridor all affect how floor area is used.
Renovations vary from updated kitchens and baths within the original room arrangement to more extensively reconfigured interiors. Junior-four layouts require particular care in description: an enclosed dining area does not automatically offer the same size or window arrangement as an original second bedroom.
A ground-floor professional-office space has also been offered for restoration to residential use. It was originally a two-bedroom apartment, but its office configuration had no kitchen and only a half bathroom. That type of property requires a different construction and approval analysis from an ordinary apartment needing cosmetic renovation.
Building operations
Sutton Hall has door service, a resident superintendent and building maintenance staff. Common laundry, storage and bicycle storage support the residential floors. Door-service hours should be confirmed directly because public descriptions vary in the schedule they assign to the building.
The cooperative operates through 109 Tenants Corp. Published lender information identifies the corporation with this 85-apartment property. Apartment ownership is through shares and a proprietary lease, with the cooperative responsible for the building and its common systems.
DOF identifies no property-wide tax abatement beyond personal exemptions. The Class 2 tax category has no statutory annual assessment-growth cap. Taxes are part of the cooperative's expense structure and flow into maintenance alongside staffing, utilities, repairs and any corporate financing costs.
The current R6 zoning allowance is materially below the building's recorded floor-area ratio. That is a characteristic of the existing building's bulk, not a basis for assuming additional floors or new residential space could be added.

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.
