A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 142 West 82nd 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.
142 West 82nd Street is an 1880s rowhouse whose conversion created apartments with several internal levels. Ralph S. Townsend designed the original house for developer George Miller as part of a four-house neo-Grec row. The later insertion of mezzanines produced the duplex and triplex interiors that distinguish the cooperative today.
The LPC designation report documents substantial work between 1972 and 1974: new mezzanines at the first three stories, a lowered stoop, altered windows and a rear extension. William B. Gleckman designed those changes for New Candler Associates and West Side Associates. Cooperative conversion is dated to 1973.
Architecture and unit composition
The original building used brick and stone over masonry bearing walls, with a raised basement and straight stoop. Its altered entrance and window openings reflect the conversion, while the street-facing shell remains part of the historic district.
Inside, kitchens, living rooms and bedrooms can occupy staggered levels connected by short flights or full internal stairs. Selected living rooms have approximately eleven-foot ceilings. Exposed brick, stained glass and crown moldings survive in some interiors, alongside later kitchens and bathrooms.
One-bedroom homes make up much of the trading inventory, with larger two-bedroom configurations also present. Outdoor space belongs to selected residences. The building has no elevator, so internal apartment stairs come in addition to the common stair climb.
Building operations
Shared laundry serves the cooperative, with board-approved installation of apartment machines also possible. The building’s façade and roof are shared assets, while individual renovations have produced different interior finishes and mechanical arrangements.
Historic-district designation affects exterior alterations, including window changes and visible rooftop work. The existing mezzanine conversion predates the district’s designation; changes to the street elevation remain subject to LPC review.

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

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.
