A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 110 West 86th 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.
110 West 86th Street is an Emery Roth prewar building — and for Upper West Side buyers, that attribution is the headline. Roth was the defining architect of the prewar West Side apartment house, and at 110 West 86th he produced a 1929 Italian Renaissance design in tan brick over a rusticated limestone base, with terracotta detailing, ornamental spandrels, and a finial-crowned roofline. The building stands mid-block between Columbus and Amsterdam Avenues, one avenue west of Central Park and within the Central Park West Historic District.
For buyers, the defining feature is the pairing of that Roth pedigree and prime location with condominium tenure. The building was converted to condominium from an earlier rental, which makes it a for-sale option with no board interview, financing flexibility, and openness to pied-à-terre and investment purchase — in a landmarked prewar building a short walk from the Park, the American Museum of Natural History, and the neighborhood's Columbus and Broadway retail.
The apartment stock runs from one- through three-bedroom prewar layouts, at pricing that is accessible for the location.
Architecture and unit composition
The residences run from one- through three-bedroom prewar layouts with the room proportions and detail characteristic of Roth's West Side work; renovation condition varies apartment-to-apartment, and in-unit washer/dryers are permitted subject to board and renovation approval.
Roth's Italian Renaissance exterior is preserved under the Central Park West Historic District designation. The mid-block position between Columbus and Amsterdam gives apartments north and south exposures.
Building operations
110 West 86th operates as a full-service prewar condominium with a 24-hour doorman, a live-in superintendent, a central laundry, private storage, a bicycle room, and a landscaped garden. It is a well-kept prewar building rather than an amenity-rich one — there is no fitness center or roof deck.
Common charges and property taxes are typical for a full-service prewar condominium; buyers should model the full monthly carry at the apartment level.

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.
How to read this, and where it comes from
QEWI = Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector — the licensed engineer the city requires to sign the report (the independent expert, not the managing agent).
Penalties shown are amounts DOB assessed against filings on record across 2005–10 to 2025–30. 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.

Market read. Most recent trades (2026) cleared a median $1,342/sf (floor-adjusted) across 4 sales. Floor-adjusted means each sale is restated to a constant mix of floors, so the figure can differ from the plain median of the sales listed above. Median listing discount 2.5% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy.

What to know if you’re buying
Condominium tenure in a prewar Roth building is the draw. No board interview, financing flexibility, and pied-à-terre and investment openness in a landmarked building one avenue from Central Park.
The economics are accessible. A 10% minimum down is favorable relative to peer prewar co-ops; confirm the current terms for your specific line.
Amenities are prewar-appropriate. Full-service staffing and storage rather than a gym or roof deck — factor the amenity set into your comparison.
It is a landmarked building. Exterior alterations are regulated by the historic-district designation; renovation respects the prewar envelope.
Run the cliff thresholds. Run any number near the $2M mansion-tax cliff through the Mansion Tax Calculator.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with Roth, tenure, and location. The Emery Roth attribution, condominium mechanics, and the Central Park West–corridor address are the core story.
Price at the apartment level. Building averages blend a range of sizes and exposures; recent comparables on the specific line should anchor positioning.
Closing timelines are condo-fast. 30–45 days from contract to closing.

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.
