1838 Second Avenue — organized as the Cameo Court Condominiums — is a corner condominium at Second Avenue and East 95th Street in Yorkville, on the Upper East Side. Built in 1987, it carries 18 residential units over ground-floor retail across ten stories, and it sits below East 96th Street, squarely within the Upper East Side rather than East Harlem.
Its condominium status is well documented: the ownership entity of record is Cameo Court Condominiums, the tax parcel is a condominium billing lot, and individual units carry their own condominium lots with recorded deed transfers — including a larger residence that has traded in the multimillion-dollar range. The building's value proposition is straightforward: for-sale ownership on the far east edge of the Upper East Side, minutes from the Second Avenue Subway.
