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.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-01508-0038) 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; square footage on co-ops is not officially recorded, figures shown are approximate.
