About the building
121 West 82nd Street is a small brownstone cooperative on the block between Columbus and Amsterdam Avenues. The house retains its brownstone scale as a cooperative. It stands within the Upper West Side/Central Park West Historic District, whose designation covers the exterior as well as the surrounding streetscape. Changes to the façade, windows and visible roof structures require LPC review even where unused zoning capacity exists.
The apartments include floor-through homes and duplex configurations. Lower homes have access to outdoor space. Parlor-level accommodation retains the tall ceilings associated with the original townhouse, and upper homes include two-bedroom configurations. Fireplaces and surviving decorative moldings appear in portions of the building. Access is by stairs, with no elevator serving the upper floors.

The retrade record
Lines that have traded more than once in the public record — the building’s appreciation arc, apartment by apartment.
Full closing history with price-per-square-foot over time, the complete retrade record, and every line that has traded.
Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-01213-0020) 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.
