1180 Second Avenue is a full-service postwar cooperative on a prominent Lenox Hill corner — a 1959 brick tower at the northeast corner of Second Avenue and East 62nd Street, addressed both as 1180 Second Avenue and 301 East 62nd Street. At 14 stories and 130 apartments, it pairs large, light-filled postwar layouts with a level of ownership flexibility that is unusual for a cooperative of this vintage, and its upper floors deliver open exposures and expansive city views.
The building's positioning is distinctive: a co-op that behaves flexibly. The board permits pieds-à-terre, allows subletting for three years out of five after the first year, welcomes cats and a dog under 50 pounds, and reports up to 75% financing with guarantors and no transfer tax — a policy posture that widens demand well beyond the typical primary-residence-only cooperative. Combined with a landscaped roof deck, a basement garage, low reported maintenance, and a full doorman operation, that flexibility makes 1180 Second Avenue one of the more accommodating full-service co-ops in the Lenox Hill corridor.
Recent sales
As a cooperative, 1180 Second Avenue trades on a price-per-room and maintenance-driven basis rather than the price-per-square-foot framing used for condominiums. Value here reflects the building's generous postwar layouts, its full-service operation and roof deck, its 14-story massing with open upper-floor exposures and city views, and its Lenox Hill corner location — which, being on Second Avenue at 62nd Street, sits at a discount to the interior Park-and-Fifth blocks while remaining well connected.
The unusually flexible policy posture — pied-à-terre and subletting permitted, dog-friendly, up to 75% financing with guarantors and no transfer tax — broadens demand beyond primary-residence buyers to include part-time owners and those who value an eventual income option, which tends to support liquidity relative to more restrictive co-ops. Corner and avenue lines carry more light and street presence; floor level and orientation materially affect value. Specific closed prices should be underwritten against current recorded transfers and in-building comparables rather than neighborhood averages.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-01437-0001) 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.
What to know if you’re buying
- This co-op is flexible for its type. Pied-à-terre use is permitted and subletting is allowed three years out of five after the first year — rare latitude among full-service cooperatives.
- The pet policy is friendly — cats and one dog under 50 pounds; confirm current specifics before committing.
- Financing latitude is generous — up to 75% is reported, with guarantors allowed and no transfer tax; confirm current guidance at offer stage.
- The amenity package is complete for the vintage — 24-hour doorman, live-in super, landscaped roof deck, basement garage, laundry, and storage.
- Upper floors carry the premium for open exposures, light, and city views; expect a board interview and standard co-op diligence, eased by the building's guarantor and co-purchasing latitude.
What to know if you’re selling
- Lead with flexibility. The pied-à-terre allowance, three-of-five sublet policy, dog-friendly rules, and generous financing set this building apart from its co-op peers — market them.
- Widen the buyer pool. Because the building accommodates part-time owners and future subletting, marketing can reach beyond strict owner-occupants.
- Feature the roof deck, garage, and light. The landscaped deck and open upper-floor exposures are genuine differentiators.
- Anchor pricing to recent in-building and immediate-corner comparables, adjusted for floor, exposure, and condition.
