A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 125 West 76th 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.
125 West 76th Street is a refined 1922 neo-Renaissance cooperative by George F. Pelham, one of the most prolific and dependable apartment-house architects of the early-twentieth-century West Side. It rises nine stories on a quiet, tree-lined block between Columbus and Amsterdam Avenues — the dense, walkable heart of the Upper West Side, equidistant from Central Park and the Beacon Theatre, with the 1 train at 79th Street, the 1/2/3 at 72nd Street, the B and C on Central Park West, and the Broadway and Columbus Avenue shopping streets all within a short walk.
What sets the building apart is its intimacy. The building has 28 apartments across nine floors and a reported gross-building-area ratio of roughly 1,650 square feet per home. That ratio includes shared and service space and does not establish average interior area, layout or size ranking against nearby buildings. Converted to a cooperative in 1986, it has run since as a boutique, owner-occupant building prized for its space and its Pelham-designed façade.
For buyers, the case is straightforward: a pre-war co-op with real room counts, period detail, and historic-district protection, in one of the most convenient micro-neighborhoods in Manhattan. For sellers, document the Pelham architecture and the actual apartment dimensions when comparing it with nearby West 70s cooperatives.
Architecture and unit composition
Pelham's design for 125 West 76th Street is a tripartite neo-Renaissance apartment house — a defined masonry base, a quieter midsection, and a crowning band of detail — executed in the warm brick and limestone of the early 1920s. The vocabulary is restrained and dignified, sized to a residential side street rather than an avenue, and it has aged into the historic-district fabric around it.
The 28 residences are the building's headline. Inspect plans and the actual apartment to establish its dimensions and pre-war features, including entry foyers, separate dining rooms, high ceilings, hardwood floors, and plaster walls; construction material alone does not establish acoustic or structural performance, which requires apartment-specific assessment. Several apartments have been renovated or combined since the 1986 conversion, and the larger lines offer the kind of three- and four-bedroom scale that is hard to find on a single co-op floor. Light comes from the street and from the building's interior court exposures.
Building operations
The building operates as a well-kept boutique cooperative with a resident superintendent, central laundry, and private storage, managed for owner-occupant stability. With only 28 apartments, monthly maintenance covers building staff, heat and hot water, the unit's share of real estate taxes, and the ongoing upkeep of the Pelham façade and pre-war systems under historic-district rules.
Governance is by a board of directors that reviews purchase applications and conducts interviews; buyers should expect a standard co-op board package and a financing review. Pet, sublet, renovation, and pied-à-terre policies are set by the board and house rules. Small West Side co-ops of this vintage generally maintain conservative, primary-residence-oriented underwriting.

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 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
Plan for a pre-war co-op purchase: board package, financials, references, and an interview. Maintenance covers heat, hot water, staff, and the building's share of taxes; ask for recent financials, the reserve position, and any assessment history, since a 1922 building carries periodic façade and systems work under historic-district oversight.
The buying argument is space plus location. Confirm the pre-war apartment’s actual dimensions and consider its West Side location — Central Park, the subway, and the Columbus and Broadway shopping spines all minutes away. Confirm the building's financing cap, sublet stance, and pet policy against the current house rules; building scale and reported occupancy culture do not protect long-term value; assess dated sales and current financial and market conditions.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the two things that distinguish this building: a named Pelham neo-Renaissance façade and the specific apartment’s documented dimensions and layout. Highlight room counts, ceiling heights, original detail, and the walkability of the block — buyers here are choosing space and convenience over a park-front address.
Price against the Upper West Side pre-war cooperative set, with renovated, combined, and high-floor units positioned at the top of the building's range. Assess current competing listings and dated sales before attributing value to scarcity. Supplying a complete board package and current financials supports diligence but does not guarantee a 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.
