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.
131 East 93rd a is widely regarded as "pleasant, 9-story, mid-block, pre-war, apartment building" with a "one-step-up, canopied entrance with an arched entrance surround flanked by wall lanterns."
