A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 160 W. 87 St. Corp. 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.
160 West 87th Street is a 1914 apartment house converted to cooperative ownership in 1975. The conversion date alone does not establish current sponsor holdings or board control.
The mid-block address is near the Broadway and Amsterdam retail corridors, the 1 and B/C subway lines, Riverside Park and Central Park. Assess the actual routes and apartment exposure for daily use.
Architecture and unit composition
The beige-brick facade rises above a two-story limestone base, with a canopied entrance and regular fenestration. The building was significantly renovated in 1988; it does not claim landmark status.
Forty residences occupy nine floors, ranging from one-bedroom homes to larger and combined apartments. Reported features include high ceilings, hardwood floors and period details; inspect their retention, the actual layout and light.
Building operations
The self-managed cooperative has a resident superintendent, elevator, common roof deck, fitness room, children’s playroom and bicycle room. The shareholders’ board makes reserve and capital-project decisions; confirm current share ownership and board composition.
On policy, the building is pet-friendly and permits pieds-à-terre. Buyers should review dated maintenance schedules and current assessments. Purchases proceed through a standard co-op board application and interview. Buyers should confirm current financing and sublet parameters with the managing agent as part of their package preparation.
Application and transaction fees
Fees below are from building management's published schedule, as of September 2026. They are shown as published, item by item; no total is added because the total depends on the transaction. Deposits are listed apart from nonrefundable charges.

Sublet and pied-à-terre policy

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.

Market read. Most recent trades (2026 to date) cleared a median $1,283/sf (floor-adjusted) across 1 sale. Floor-adjusted means each sale is restated to a constant mix of floors, so the figure can differ from the plain median of the sales listed above. Median listing discount 1.1% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy.

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.
