A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at The Pierpont 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.
The Pierpont is a full-service condominium on a tree-lined NoMad side street, named for J. Pierpont (J.P.) Morgan, whose Morgan Library stands nearby. Designed by Philip Birnbaum — one of the most prolific residential architects of postwar Manhattan — and completed in 1984, the 22-story tower is set back in a landscaped plaza and carries numerous balconies and terraces across its facade. It is among the more highly regarded buildings in its price band, combining a full amenity package with a quiet, well-located block between Park and Lexington Avenues.
For buyers, the appeal is a genuinely full-service condominium — 24-hour doorman, a roof deck with a grill, a fitness room, a children's playroom, and a common garden — with the outdoor space (terraces and balconies) that many nearby buildings lack. The condominium form provides pied-à-terre, investment, and subletting flexibility. Its per-square-foot pricing sits at the top of its immediate peer group, reflecting the amenity depth and the location.
Architecture and unit composition
Philip Birnbaum's 22-story tower is set back from the street behind a landscaped plaza, with attractive sidewalk planting and numerous balconies and terraces distributed across the facade. Central air conditioning is standard, and many units carry private outdoor space.
The condominium holds roughly 52 residential units. Pricing reflects the building's amenity package, outdoor space, and reputation.
Building operations
111 East 30th Street operates as a full-service condominium with a 24-hour doorman, a common roof deck with a grill, a fitness room/health club, a common garden, a laundry room, resident storage, a children's playroom, central air, and a live-in superintendent. Many apartments have terraces or balconies. There is no on-site garage and no concierge desk beyond the doorman, but the building's amenity depth is strong for its size and vintage.

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 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.

Recent sales
The Pierpont trades at a premium within its peer group, with the full amenity package, private outdoor space, and NoMad/Murray Hill location driving values above plainer postwar neighbors. Inside the building, a private terrace or balcony and floor height drive most of the spread between apartments. It is a durable end-user building with steady demand.

Market read. Most recent trades (2025) cleared a median $1,437/sf (floor-adjusted) across 3 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 2.0% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy.

What to know if you’re buying
Amenity depth justifies the premium. Doorman, roof deck, gym, playroom, and garden are a strong package for a building of this size — you're paying for it, and it holds value.
Outdoor space is a real differentiator. Terraces and balconies are common here; target them where available.
Condo flexibility applies. Pied-à-terre use, investment ownership, and subletting are all workable under the declaration.
No on-site garage. Factor nearby parking into your carrying-cost math if you own a car.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with amenities and outdoor space. The full-service package and private terraces set the building apart — market them.
Price to the building's premium position. The Pierpont commands top-of-group pricing; support it with the amenity and location story.

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.
