A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 131 East 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.
131 East 93rd Street is one of the most operationally flexible boutique Carnegie Hill cooperatives — a 1923 neo-Federal prewar designed by Frank Braun on the Park-Lexington midblock. Its flexibility is most pointed in the seller-paid 2% flip tax, atypical for Carnegie Hill — where most flip taxes are buyer-paid — and squarely to the buyer's advantage. Reinforcing that posture is a 70% financing maximum, among the most accommodating on the hill, and a permitted pied-à-terre and pet policy that, while subject to board approval, gives the building one of the more flexible cross-street buyer profiles in the cohort.
Architecture and building operations
Frank Braun's 1923 neo-Federal commission produced a nine-story midblock prewar cooperative on the Park-Lexington blockfront. The 35-apartment configuration distributes as four units per floor with CD combinations available. The building converted to cooperative ownership in 1987.
Operations: live-in superintendent (no full-time doorman); elegant lobby; gorgeous landscaped roof deck; video intercom; central laundry; bike room; private storage. The live-in superintendent receives packages — a functional substitute for the doorman service typical of larger Carnegie Hill cooperatives.
The canopied entrance is one step up, with an arched surround flanked by wall lanterns.
Policy framework
- Type: Cooperative — board interview required
- Pets: OK with board approval
- Pied-à-terre: Permitted
- Financing maximum: 70%
- Flip tax: 2%, seller-paid (atypical for Carnegie Hill; structurally advantageous to buyers)
- Subletting: Inquire through Century Management
- Trust, LLC, foreign buyers: Case-by-case
- Post-closing liquidity: Standard reserves customary
- Board interview: Required
The seller-paid 2% flip tax is the building's largest single buyer-side advantage — on a $2 million purchase, the buyer is structurally relieved of $40,000 of cost compared to a buyer-paid Carnegie Hill peer. Combined with the 70% financing maximum and permitted pied-à-terre, the policy framework is among the most accommodating in the cross-street prewar cohort.

Market read. Most recent trades (2026 to date) cleared a median $831/sf (floor-adjusted) across 2 sales. Floor-adjusted means each sale is restated to a constant mix of floors, so the figure can differ from the plain median of the sales listed above. Median listing discount 1.0% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy.

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.
