A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 111 West 96th 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 West 96th Street combines a ten-apartment walk-up entrance with membership in a larger cooperative spanning four buildings. The five-story property dates to 1915. Its apartments include substantial two- and three-bedroom layouts, with floor-through configurations and separate kitchens among the recurring features.
The cooperative also encompasses 113, 115 and 117 West 96th Street. Those addresses share a corporate ownership structure while retaining separate entrances and tax parcels. The building sits between the Columbus Avenue and Amsterdam Avenue corridors, with 96th Street providing the east-west connection across the neighborhood.
Architecture and unit composition
The five-story building has ten residences, accessed by stairs. Apartments at the top require four flights from the entrance. Tall windows, high ceilings and conventional room divisions reflect the prewar apartment-house form.
Larger layouts can contain three enclosed bedrooms, a separate living room and a windowed eat-in kitchen within approximately 1,100 square feet. Floor-through homes have exposures toward the street and rear. A south-facing living room can occupy the street side, with sleeping rooms extending deeper into the floor plate.
In-unit laundry exists in selected homes. Bathroom counts and kitchen arrangements differ following individual renovations, so the same overall area can accommodate different room distributions. Basement storage supplements the living space upstairs.
Building operations
The cooperative conversion was accepted and became effective in December 1982. Its filing covered the four-address property. The corporation has professional management, while each entrance retains the circulation and physical scale of a small apartment building.
The separate parcels matter for tax treatment. The Class 2C designation and built floor-area ratio shown above apply to 111 West 96th Street. Shared corporate obligations extend across the association, including the upkeep of multiple building envelopes and entrances.
A capital assessment was being charged during the 2025 sale period. Confirm its current status with the managing agent; the historical charge should not be treated as a permanent component of an apartment's monthly maintenance.
Policy framework
Financing: Up to 90% has been permitted, with a 10% minimum down payment — confirm the current requirement with the managing agent.
Pets and pied-à-terre: Permitted with board approval — confirm with the managing agent.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-01851-0024) and verified listing data. Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified by The Roebling Team research desk. Not all transactions cross-verify with ACRIS records — sponsor and LLC purchases sometimes record at stipulated values rather than market price; square footage on co-ops is not officially recorded, figures shown are approximate.

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.
