1402 Third Avenue is a substantial 1970s cooperative on a prime Yorkville corner — full-service doorman living at the value end of the Upper East Side's deep co-op market. Completed in 1973, it belongs to the later wave of brick elevator apartment houses that built out Third Avenue after the avenue's postwar redevelopment, designed for practical, light-filled apartment living and full-time doorman service at attainable cost. At roughly 148 apartments, it is a mid-to-large building with the shareholder base to support full staffing and spread operating costs widely.
The location is convenience-first Yorkville. On Third Avenue at 80th Street, residents are in the heart of the neighborhood's retail and dining, a short walk from the 77th Street subway, the Second Avenue line, and Central Park to the west, with the East River esplanade to the east. For buyers who want full-service doorman living on the Upper East Side without the central-avenue premium, this is exactly the tier 1402 Third serves.
Architecture and unit composition
The 1973 vintage places 1402 Third in the later postwar idiom: an efficient brick elevator building with ground-floor retail along Third Avenue, designed for functional, light-filled apartment living. Layouts run to the period standard — studios, one-, and two-bedroom apartments with practical plans, ample closets, and large windows — with larger combinations and the better exposures on the upper floors.
With approximately 148 apartments, the building runs at the mid-to-large density typical of the avenue's cooperatives, and individual apartments are best evaluated at the unit level on floor, exposure, and renovation history.
Building operations
1402 Third operates as a full-service postwar cooperative. A full-time doorman staffs the attended lobby, with a resident superintendent on site and central laundry and private storage in the building. As with most Upper East Side postwar co-ops, the board reviews purchases through a formal application and interview, and prospective buyers should expect financing requirements, a flip-tax structure, and sublet rules set by the proprietary lease and house rules — the specific financial terms are the policy slate we walk clients through, and the current percentages should be confirmed at offer stage.

Facade safety — Local Law 11
The latest available FISP filing classified the facade as Safe — no repairs were required at that inspection. Facade inspections run on a fixed five-year cycle; future inspection, repair, and any assessment decisions remain building-specific.

Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified by The Roebling Team research desk.

What to know if you’re buying
This is full-service postwar value in Yorkville. Doorman service and an elevatored building on a prime corner, at pricing well below the central avenues.
The shareholder base supports carrying costs. A ~148-unit building spreads operating and capital costs across a sizable base — confirm the current maintenance, assessment history, and reserve position in diligence.
Co-op financial policy governs the purchase. Expect board review, financing limits, a flip tax, and sublet rules; confirm the current terms at offer stage.
The location is the lifestyle. A doorman building in the center of Yorkville, near the subway, the Second Avenue line, the Park, and the river.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with full-service value and location. The doorman service, the elevatored postwar building, and the prime Yorkville corner are the marketing assets.
Price to the building's own comps. With ~148 units, the persuasive evidence is 1402 Third's own recent trades adjusted for floor, exposure, and condition.
