A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 1136 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.
1136 Fifth Avenue is a 1925 commission by George F. Pelham. LPC also credits him with 1130 Park Avenue (1926–27) and 1120 Park Avenue (1929–30), while noting uncertainty over father-versus-son authorship at 1120 Park. The later 785 Park Avenue (1939–40) is the work of George F. Pelham Jr.; keep those attributions distinct.
The 1925 vintage at 1136 Fifth places the building in the pre-war Fifth Avenue construction cycle — same general vintage as 1148 Fifth (Walter B. Chambers 1922–23), 1158 Fifth (Crane & Franzheim 1924), 1175 Park (Roth 1925), and 1107 Fifth (Rouse & Goldstone 1925).
The cooperative conversion from the original rental occurred in 1959, placing 1136 Fifth within the post-WWII conversion wave that produced much of the current Fifth Avenue cooperative inventory.
The building has 43 apartments; city records list 44 residential units, so confirm the current share schedule.
The Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum is four blocks south on Fifth Avenue. The Jewish Museum is two blocks south at 92nd and Fifth. The Guggenheim is six blocks south. The cultural-institution density to the south is substantial; the corridor north of 1136 Fifth transitions toward the East 96th Street boundary that historically marks the residential corridor's northern reach.
Architecture and unit composition
The 43 apartments span configurations from approximately 1,800 sf 2BRs to substantially larger 4–5 BR and full-floor configurations across the 14 stories. The building's most architecturally distinctive apartments are the full-floor configurations and the upper-floor residences with longer Central Park view envelopes.
Pelham's pre-war signatures throughout: 10–11 foot ceilings in primary rooms, formal entry galleries, library-living room combinations, primary suites with substantial closet infrastructure, service wings characteristic of 1925-era luxury apartment design.
Park-facing apartments on the western flank command direct Central Park views across to the Park's eastern boundary, the Reservoir, and the West Side beyond. Views vary by floor and exposure, and no view is protected without a recorded instrument.
Building operations
1136 Fifth Avenue operates as a full-service pre-war cooperative with full-time doorman, attended elevator, on-site superintendent, and private storage. The building has 43 apartments.
Specific policy details (financing posture, flip tax structure, sublet policy specifics, pied-à-terre allowance) should be confirmed directly with property management during due diligence, along with the board's liquidity and application requirements.

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.

What to know if you’re buying
The location is northern Carnegie Hill. Compare recent sales with those closer to the Museum Mile cluster by size, floor and condition rather than assuming a price difference; park views depend on the apartment.
Confirm specific policies directly with management. Financing posture, flip tax structure, sublet specifics, and pied-à-terre allowance should be obtained directly during contract review.
Board review sets the bar. Financing is capped at 50% of the purchase price; confirm the building's current liquidity, ownership, occupancy and subletting requirements from its governing documents and application instructions.
Park views depend on the apartment. Views vary by floor, position and exposure, and no view is protected without a recorded instrument.
Renovation is constrained by historic district status. The board reviews scope and quality with attention to preservation of original detail.
What to know if you’re selling
Pricing requires apartment-level comparable analysis. Floor altitude, configuration, and renovation history all matter substantially.
Closing timelines are co-op standard. 6–10 weeks from contract signing 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.
