A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 16 East 80th 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.
16 East 80th Street is a former private mansion whose apartments range from compact studios to substantial combined homes. The house retains a narrow residential frontage between Fifth and Madison Avenues. Its elevator adds access through the five-story structure, while some residences also have internal stairs connecting levels.
Construction began in 1884 for developer Anthony Mowbray. The original design used brick and brownstone; a 1905 remodeling by Janes & Leo replaced the front with limestone and introduced the Beaux-Arts composition. Historical records describe an arched parlor window and balconies with decorative metal and stone railings.
A 1962 alteration removed the stoop and lowered the entrance. Subsequent apartment combinations have reshaped the residential inventory. The converted-house plan therefore includes homes with substantially different proportions and circulation within the same building envelope.
Architecture and unit composition
The original house is approximately twenty-five feet wide. Subdivision created smaller apartments within its rooms, while later work combined portions horizontally and vertically. Studios and one-bedrooms remain part of the mix alongside larger multilevel residences.
DOB's alteration record documents a project creating a home across basement and principal-floor levels with mezzanines, signed off in 2014. That history helps explain why floor count and interior level count differ here. The upper inventory also includes combined apartments, with internal circulation that is specific to the combination.
The building's façade and window arrangement derive from its mansion history. A street-facing room and a rear-facing room occupy different parts of the old house; their dimensions and light depend on that position and on the later partitions.
Building operations
A passenger elevator serves the cooperative, and common laundry is provided. The historic limestone front, balconies and entrance are part of the protected exterior. Apartment work that affects the façade or exterior openings must account for the district designation.
For a combined home, the cooperative shares, maintenance allocation and approved physical connection need to correspond to the property being sold. The recurring combination history makes that a particular issue at this address.

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.
