1376 York Avenue is a small pre-war cooperative in Yorkville, near East 73rd and 74th Streets on the York Avenue commercial corridor at the eastern edge of Lenox Hill. Built around 1910, it is a five-story elevator building with roughly 18 to 20 apartments over ground-floor retail — the kind of quiet, human-scaled co-op that keeps carrying costs sensible and the ownership base settled.
The proposition here is value and location. The building sits near NewYork-Presbyterian / Weill Cornell and John Jay Park, a practical address for the medical community and for buyers who want the far East Side at an accessible entry point. Attended entry / doorman service is reported, though it may be virtual or part-time and should be confirmed at offer stage. For the buyer who wants a genuine pre-war Yorkville address in a small studio or one-bedroom, the building is a straightforward, sensibly run choice.
Building operations
The cooperative runs at a boutique scale: an elevator and attended entry / doorman service as reported, with ground-floor retail on York Avenue. Note that the attended-entry service may be virtual or part-time rather than a traditional full-time doorman — describe it as attended entry / doorman service and confirm the exact staffing at offer stage.
As a cooperative, ownership is by shares rather than deed: purchases require board approval and a board interview, financing is capped at a board-set percentage, and pied-à-terre, sublet, gifting, and guarantor arrangements are evaluated case by case. Confirm the current pet policy, financing maximum, any flip tax, sublet terms, and the precise nature of the attended-entry service with the board at offer stage.
Local Law 97
This building is below the 25,000 sq ft threshold at which LL97 emissions caps apply. No regulatory capital pressure from this law specifically, current or 2030.

Co-op pricing is read on a per-room basis, and 1376 York Avenue trades as an entry-level pre-war cooperative — modest carrying costs and the value a co-op structure offers relative to condominiums. The building is thinly traded, with only about 18 to 20 residences, so recent comparable sales are limited and any single closing carries outsized weight in the record. When underwriting a purchase or a list price, capture the room count, the floor, the exposure, and renovation condition rather than relying on a neighborhood average, and recognize plainly that thin resale volume makes precise pricing harder here than in larger buildings. Genuinely variable financial figures should be confirmed at offer stage.
Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-01485-0004) 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.
What to know if you’re buying
This is a cooperative, so the path is a board package and interview, a financing cap set by the board, and underwriting of the building's financials and house rules. Confirm the attended-entry / doorman service — whether it is full-time, part-time, or virtual — since it affects both livability and value. Because the building is thinly traded, lean on the apartment's specifics and the building's financials rather than a deep comp set. The reasons to buy are the address and the value: a real pre-war Yorkville co-op near NewYork-Presbyterian / Weill Cornell and John Jay Park, at an accessible cost structure. Review the co-op's reserve and any planned capital work given the building's age.
What to know if you’re selling
The story is the pre-war character, the practical far-East-Side location near the hospital campus, and the price point. The circa-1910 architecture, the intimate 18-to-20-unit scale, and the York Avenue location sell to a specific buyer — often tied to the medical community — who wants a pre-war address without a trophy budget. Because the building trades thinly, pricing is an apartment-specific exercise: room count, floor, light, and condition drive the number, and we build the comp picture carefully given the limited resale volume. We position the building's location and staffing, prepare the buyer for the co-op process, and benchmark against the right comparable tier of boutique pre-war cooperatives.
