A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 123 West 93rd 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.
123 West 93rd Street is a 1926 prewar cooperative on a quiet Upper West Side block between Columbus and Amsterdam Avenues — the kind of solid, well-amenitized prewar co-op that delivers genuine value in the upper West 90s. It is not a trophy building, and that is precisely its appeal: it offers prewar layouts, a real amenity package, and an attainable entry point into Upper West Side ownership, a few blocks from Central Park and the 96th Street subway lines.
The building's character shows at the front door. The entrance is one of the neighborhood's small architectural pleasures — rope columns, a stepped vestibule, and terracotta lion heads flanking the doorway, an Art Deco–influenced flourish on an otherwise restrained 1926 brick façade. The original architect is not identified in available records, but the building reads clearly as a competent prewar apartment house of its era. It was converted to a cooperative in 1985 and has run as a self-amenitized mid-rise co-op since.
For buyers, the proposition is value plus amenity. The building offers a children's playroom, a residents' lounge, a fitness room, bicycle and enclosed storage, and a live-in superintendent — a fuller package than many buildings at its price point — on a quiet block with strong transit and park access.
Architecture and unit composition
The 90 residences span 10 stories in the typical prewar mid-rise format. Layouts carry prewar proportions — foyers, separate rooms, and the higher ceilings of the period. One practical constraint buyers should know plainly: in-unit washer/dryers are not permitted, so laundry is handled in the building's central laundry room. Renovation condition and exposure drive the spread between units; this is a building where a thoughtful renovation meaningfully outperforms original-condition inventory.
The Art Deco–influenced entrance is the building's signature exterior feature. The building is not in a historic district, which generally allows more flexibility for exterior and window work than a protected building would, subject to board and city approvals.
Building operations
123 West 93rd Street runs as a part-time-doorman cooperative — door staff cover roughly 7 a.m. to 2 a.m. rather than 24 hours — with a live-in superintendent, a central laundry room, a children's playroom, a residents' lounge, a fee-based fitness room, and a bicycle room and enclosed storage available for a fee. There is no swimming pool and no on-site garage.
As a co-op, the building is governed by a board that reviews purchasers and sets house rules and financial requirements. Buyers should expect a standard prewar UWS co-op board package and interview, and should confirm the financing limit, any flip tax, and the precise pied-à-terre and sublet terms with the managing agent at offer stage — board-set financial policies that vary and that we confirm on every transaction.
Sublet and pied-à-terre policy
A condominium owner leasing a unit and a co-op shareholder subletting are different rules, and a building-wide rule is different from a restriction on one apartment. This is the building's rule; confirm it for the specific apartment.

The latest available FISP filing classified the facade as Safe — no repairs were required at that inspection. A filed Safe grade is not a guarantee of current condition: owners still maintain the facade and, where required, observe parapets each year. Future inspection timing (Local Law 49 of 2025 changed the cycle framework from October 1, 2026), repair and any assessment decisions remain building-specific.
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 2025–30. 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.

Recent sales
As a cooperative, 123 West 93rd Street is evaluated on price per room rather than price per square foot. The building sits at a more attainable point in the UWS co-op market, with the spread driven by floor, exposure, room count, and renovation condition. Pied-à-terre and subletting are permitted subject to the board, which broadens the buyer pool. Anchor pricing to the building's own recorded transfers of the same room count and to closely matched UWS prewar co-op comparables.

What to know if you’re buying
This is a value-with-amenity play. A real prewar co-op with a children's playroom, lounge, fitness room, and storage, at an attainable West 90s entry point, a few blocks from Central Park.
Know the two practical constraints. Door staff are part-time (roughly 7 a.m.–2 a.m.), and in-unit washer/dryers are not permitted. Both are easy to live with but should be understood up front.
Plan for the board process. Co-op purchase means a board package, financial review, and interview. The building permits pied-à-terre and subletting subject to board approval, which is a plus for flexibility.
Confirm the financial policy at offer stage. Financing limit, flip tax, and sublet terms are board-set; confirm with the managing agent before committing.
Mansion tax may apply. At the top of the building's range the $1M threshold can come into play. Run pricing through the Mansion Tax Calculator.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with amenity and value. The playroom, lounge, fitness room, and storage are a fuller package than many price-comparable buildings; foreground them alongside the prewar layout and the location.
Renovation reads. With an attainable price band, a clean renovation distinguishes a unit; price original-condition inventory to its reality.
Present a board-ready buyer. Co-op sales depend on a buyer who clears the board; qualify accordingly and plan for a co-op closing timeline.

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.
