A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 1133 Fifth Avenue 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.
1133 Fifth Avenue is a 1928 Carnegie Hill apartment house developed by Bing & Bing and designed by Emery Roth. It converted to cooperative ownership in 1948.
The 14-story building has 17 apartments and faces Central Park along the Museum Mile stretch of Fifth Avenue.
Architecture and unit composition
Roth’s neo-Federal design combines red brick, a limestone base, classical surrounds and a proportioned crown. Apartments have entrance galleries, generous public rooms, high ceilings and service areas typical of pre-war planning.
Several apartments have full-floor or near-full-floor layouts. Park-facing residences have Central Park and reservoir outlooks; confirm the view from the particular apartment.
Building operations
1133 Fifth runs as a full-service cooperative. A full-time doorman and attended lobby, attended elevators, and a live-in resident manager anchor the staffing, with a private fitness room, a bicycle room, and a dedicated storage bin for each apartment among the building's amenities. Confirm current staffing, hours and amenities with the managing agent.
The building is pet-friendly, and pied-à-terre use is permitted. Confirm the current financing limits and subletting policy from the governing documents and application instructions. Prospective purchasers should expect a full board package and interview.
Application and transaction fees
Fees below are from building management's published schedule, as of October 2026. They are shown as published, item by item; no total is added because the total depends on the transaction. Deposits are listed apart from nonrefundable charges.

Sublet and pied-à-terre policy

The latest available filing classified the facade as SWARMP — Safe With A Repair and Maintenance Program: the inspector (QEWI) identified conditions requiring monitoring or repair, with repairs due by the deadline stated in the filing. The scope, timeline, and how the building funds the work are building-specific — we review the filings and board materials for you.
How to read this, and where it comes from
QEWI = Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector — a licensed professional engineer or registered architect who meets DOB’s FISP qualifications and signs 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.

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.
