A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at Copper Hill 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.
Copper Hill combines the physical form of a 2007 apartment building with a later condominium conversion. Stephen B. Jacobs designed the eight-story building, and the Attorney General accepted its occupied non-eviction conversion filing in March 2012. The residential inventory includes studios, one- and two-bedroom apartments, and larger duplex configurations.
The amenity provision is substantial for 40 homes: a fitness room, playroom, lounge, courtyard and roof deck sit alongside the elevator and remote-entry service. Storage also has an unusually visible role in the condominium structure. The original filing included 30 storage units in addition to the residential and commercial components.
Lexington Avenue places the building close to the local subway at 103rd Street. Its smaller apartments create an entry point into condominium ownership in this part of East Harlem, while larger plans and duplexes extend the range beyond the studio and one-bedroom inventory.
Architecture and unit composition
The DOB new-building filing identifies an eight-story building with 40 residences and names Stephen Jacobs as the applicant. Large windows, including floor-to-ceiling glazing in parts of the building, are a recurring feature of the apartment interiors. Upper-level homes include duplex layouts and private outdoor space.
Studios occupy the compact end of the inventory, with recorded areas around the low-400-square-foot category. One-bedroom apartments cover a wider range, including plans around 600 to 800 square feet. Two-bedroom layouts extend above 1,100 square feet, and the largest recorded homes are substantially larger again.
The two-bedroom inventory includes two-bathroom plans with a shared living and dining area. In-unit laundry is present in many apartments. These features matter alongside the nominal bedroom count: a larger two-bedroom plan can include separate bathroom access and a different arrangement of living space from the smaller one-bedroom lines.
The upper duplex homes add internal stairs and a second level to the comparison. Their usable layout depends on how bedrooms and living spaces are divided between those floors. They represent a distinct part of Copper Hill's inventory, with a different scale from the compact studios that also trade in the building.
The building's condominium structure extends beyond its 40 homes. The original filing separately counted one commercial unit and 30 storage units; the current DOF roll carries 38 non-residential lots. These accessory and commercial interests should not be added to the residential apartment count.
Building operations
Shared spaces include indoor exercise, play and lounge rooms, plus the roof deck and courtyard. The virtual doorman supports entry, and bicycle storage, individual storage and common laundry provide additional services. Apartment-level washer/dryers do not eliminate the building's common laundry facility.
The Attorney General's filing history recorded a non-sponsor-controlled board in 2015. Current DOF ownership concentration is low: the largest single owner holds two of the 40 residential units. Copper Hill has therefore developed a substantial individual-ownership and resale history following its conversion.
Its original tax benefit has expired. The ten-year, uncapped 421-a program began in 2011 and last appeared on the 2021 roll. That expiration predates the most recent residential sales, so the latest resale period falls within the building's post-abatement operating history.
The original filing was an occupied non-eviction conversion. That history is relevant to any apartment still offered subject to a tenancy: a condominium declaration does not, by itself, establish that a particular apartment will be delivered vacant. The individual contract's possession terms control that purchase.

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.
