A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 152 West 58th 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.
152 West 58th Street is a pre-war cooperative with an exceptional address: a quiet side-street position one block south of Central Park, within a short walk of Carnegie Hall, Columbus Circle, and the supertall towers of Billionaires' Row along West 57th Street. Built in 1916 to the design of Robert T. Lyons and rising nine stories with 38 apartments, it offers something increasingly scarce in this part of Midtown — a pre-war home to compare with nearby towers using matched sales and actual carrying costs.
The building's value proposition is location plus flexibility. It sits at the seam where Midtown West meets the southern edge of Central Park, and it permits pieds-à-terre and is pet-friendly, which suits both full-time and part-time use near the park.
Architecture and unit composition
Robert T. Lyons designed a number of early-twentieth-century Manhattan apartment houses, and 152 West 58th Street is a characteristic example of the type: a masonry elevator building with a limestone base, brick shaft, and the disciplined, well-proportioned detailing of the period. At 38 homes across nine floors, the building maintains a modest, owner-occupied density.
The apartments range from gracious one-bedrooms to two-bedroom layouts with one or two baths, topped by a penthouse with substantial private outdoor space. The recorded roughly 39,000 residential gross square feet divided by 38 homes gives about 1,026 gross square feet per home, not measured interior area. Verify each layout and ceiling height; the aggregate area does not establish room proportions. As an older cooperative, renovation level varies line to line, which creates both turnkey options and value-add opportunities.
Building operations
152 West 58th Street is an elegantly maintained pre-war cooperative run with a live-in superintendent and a building-wide video security system. Shared facilities include a central laundry room, private storage, and a courtyard garden that gives rear-facing apartments light and quiet. Review current maintenance, assessments and financial statements; staffing alone does not establish a cost advantage; the amenity package the neighborhood provides — Central Park itself, Carnegie Hall, and the restaurants and culture of Midtown West — sits just outside the door.
As a cooperative, purchases clear through a board with a financial package and interview. The building's pied-à-terre allowance and pet-friendly policy are meaningful, buyer-relevant terms; confirm them against the current house rules. Financing is permitted within a stated cap, and subletting is allowed under board-defined terms.
Sublet and pied-à-terre policy
A condominium owner leasing a unit and a co-op shareholder subletting are different rules, and a building-wide rule is different from a restriction on one apartment. This is the building's rule; confirm it for the specific apartment.

The latest available FISP filing classified the facade as Safe — no repairs were required at that inspection. A filed Safe grade is not a guarantee of current condition: owners still maintain the facade and, where required, observe parapets each year. Future inspection timing (Local Law 49 of 2025 changed the cycle framework from October 1, 2026), repair and any assessment decisions remain building-specific.
How to read this, and where it comes from
QEWI = Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector — a licensed professional engineer or registered architect who meets DOB’s FISP qualifications and signs the report (the independent expert, not the managing agent).
Penalties shown are amounts DOB assessed against filings on record across 2005–10 to 2025–30. The FISP dataset does not record whether they were paid, contested or remain open, so treat the figure as history rather than a current balance and confirm the building’s standing with the managing agent.

What to know if you’re buying
This is a board-approval cooperative, so plan for a full financial package, an interview, and a financing cap. Underwrite the all-in monthly carry and read the building's financials for reserve health and any planned capital work — relevant for any masonry building of this era. Confirm the current pied-à-terre and pet terms against your own plans, since both are central to the building's appeal.
The reasons to buy are address-driven: a pre-war home one block from Central Park, near Carnegie Hall and Billionaires' Row, with pricing to compare against matched nearby tower sales — with the flexibility of a pied-à-terre-friendly, pet-friendly board. Compare the park-adjacent setting and pre-war character alongside the specific home’s price, condition and carrying costs.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the location and the flexibility: one block from Central Park, the pied-à-terre allowance, and the pet policy are the differentiators. The comparable set is recent closings in the building and in the immediate Central Park South / Midtown West pre-war cooperative cohort, adjusted for floor, light, and renovation.
Presentation is where value is won. Present ceiling height, light and condition accurately, and use matched sales to assess any renovation premium. We price to the building's real ceiling, surface the pied-à-terre and pet flexibility to widen the buyer pool, and prepare a complete board package for the buyer.

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.
