A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 155 West 126th 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.
155–157 West 126th Street combines a prewar building envelope with a modern twelve-home condominium conversion. The work was permitted in 2014 and signed off in 2016. Its apartment mix runs from compact upper-floor homes to two-bedroom apartments and larger garden duplexes.
The development occupies a side-street site between Lenox Avenue and Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Boulevard. Private gardens at the base and a common roof deck give it two distinct forms of outdoor space. The condominium's small residence count encompasses substantial differences in floor area and plan.
Architecture and unit composition
Standard apartments include two-bedroom, two-bath layouts of roughly 900 to 1,000 square feet. Smaller upper homes range from about 640 to 780 square feet, and the upper inventory includes duplex arrangements with a half bath in addition to the principal bathroom.
Garden duplexes are approximately 1,400 to 1,450 square feet in total and have private rear yards. Their lower levels provide recreation space connected to the main residential level by an internal stair. The recreation area should be described separately from the legal bedrooms above.
The conversion added contemporary kitchens, bathrooms and mechanical equipment within the older structure. In-home laundry and central air appear in the residences. The principal alteration was filed by architect De-Jan Lu and covered a twelve-dwelling scheme.
Building operations
The building uses virtual doorman service and provides bicycle storage. A shared roof deck serves the condominium in addition to the private gardens belonging to lower homes. The separate outdoor areas have different access routes and ownership arrangements.
DOF carries twelve residential lots and seven additional Class 4 unit lots. Those additional interests do not increase the apartment count. No building-wide tax exemption remains on the current roll, and each residential owner receives a separate tax bill.

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.
