A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 111 East 75th 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.
111 East 75th Street is a small prewar co-op between Park and Lexington Avenues with no doorman, which keeps its staffing costs below those of its doorman neighbors. Schwartz & Gross built it in 1925, replacing two older apartment houses. LPC's 1981 report places it with the apartment houses that went up on the block once Park Avenue was rebuilt over the railroad tracks and the street became fashionable. The neo-Federal limestone-and-brick façade is protected as part of the original Upper East Side Historic District.
The building has thirty-six apartments, a live-in superintendent instead of a door staff, and a 1 percent flip tax paid by the buyer. Listing records say it allows pied-à-terre use, guarantors and parents buying for their children. The trade-off is the 65 percent financing ceiling, which means buyers need more cash up front.
Architecture and unit composition
The building sits on a lot about 54 feet wide and 102 feet deep. Most apartments are one- and two-bedrooms, per listing records. The penthouse level at the top holds the building's largest homes, and owners have combined several apartments over time. A 2014 DOB filing combined two co-op apartments, and a 2025 share transfer covered the combined 9D/PHB. The two ground-floor professional spaces are doctor's offices, according to DOB filings from 2016 and 2022.
Building operations
Underlying mortgage. In August 2025 the corporation refinanced with a cooperative-housing lender, recording a $2.4 million consolidated mortgage that paid off a $2 million loan from 2015, per ACRIS. That is about $67,000 per apartment. The lender has since put the loan into a 2025 commercial-mortgage trust. The index does not show the rate or maturity. Ask for both, and ask how the new rate compares with the 2015 loan, because the difference will show up in maintenance.
Façade. DOB's façade-inspection record shows a Cycle 9 filing rated safe with repair and maintenance program in February 2023. DOB issued façade-repair and scaffold permits in 2025. Ask whether that work is finished and how it was paid for.
Systems. A 2016 DOB filing installed a dual gas/oil burner on the building's boiler.
Policy framework
We have no house rules, board package or financial statements for this building. The policies in the At a glance section come from listing records and need to be confirmed. Ask the managing agent to confirm them in writing, along with the board's post-closing liquidity and debt-to-income standards, sublet terms, and whether trusts or LLCs can hold shares.
Recent sales
Sales are infrequent, as expected with thirty-six apartments. ACRIS shows a few arm's-length share transfers in the last twenty-four months, including the combined 9D/PHB penthouse, plus a transfer out of an estate with no recorded price. Prices are quoted per room. The penthouse and combined apartments set the top of the range, two-bedroom apartments on upper floors the middle, and one-bedrooms on lower floors the entry point. Compared with doorman buildings on nearby side streets, the lower staffing costs and the permissive policies support value, and the 65 percent ceiling narrows the pool of buyers. Index market statements to 2025, the last complete year. Unit-level transaction history is maintained in The Roebling Research Library and shared with clients during diligence.

What to know if you’re buying
Plan for 35 percent down. Parents can co-purchase or guarantee, but the financing ceiling still applies.
Budget the 1 percent. The flip tax is paid by the buyer, per listing records. Add it to closing costs.
Ask about the 2025 refinancing. Get the rate, maturity and amortization, and ask whether maintenance changed afterward.
What to know if you’re selling
Market the policies. Pied-à-terre use, guarantors and parental purchases are the building's strongest selling points. Put them in the listing.
Address the doorman question directly. Present the absence of a doorman as a lower staffing cost and point to the live-in superintendent, rather than leaving buyers to raise it.

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.
