A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at The Strathmore 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.
The Strathmore is a prewar apartment house converted into a 28-residence condominium, with substantial interiors and an entrance reached through a landscaped courtyard. Its brick-and-limestone frontage, wrought-iron gates and marble-clad lobby preserve the older building's approach to the street. The conversion added fitness and resident facilities alongside renovated apartments.
The Attorney General accepted the occupied-building conversion offering in January 2013, and it became effective that December. The sponsor was 1890 Adam Clayton Powell LLC, associated with Tahl Propp Equities. Individual condominium closings followed in 2014, creating a resale market within the existing six-story structure.
The residential inventory includes two- and three-bedroom apartments with areas well above 1,000 square feet. Larger plans approach 2,000 square feet, placing the building's breadth of interior space near the center of its purchase proposition. The address is several blocks north of Central Park, between the Lenox Avenue and Frederick Douglass Boulevard subway corridors.
Architecture and unit composition
A wrought-iron entry leads through the landscaped courtyard to the lobby. The masonry frontage and ironwork remain part of the prewar exterior, while renovated homes have open kitchens, wood floors and in-unit washer/dryers. Elevators serve the residential floors.
The recurring two-bedroom, two-bath plans include homes around 1,100 square feet. Three-bedroom layouts extend through approximately 1,300 to 1,700 square feet, with the largest recurring homes around 1,900 square feet. The larger interiors offer separate bedroom areas and substantial living and dining space.
Some layouts place bedrooms on opposite sides of the apartment, while others use a long entrance gallery. Multiple street-facing windows occur in living areas and bedrooms, and interior position determines whether a room faces the avenue or a quieter internal exposure. The larger square footage does not translate into the same number of rooms in every plan.
The converted inventory has now passed through several ownership cycles. Renovated sponsor apartments share a starting set of kitchen and bath specifications, but later resales can reflect owner alterations. Interior condition and the quality of those changes differentiate homes with the same original plan.
Building operations
The shared facilities include a fitness room, bicycle storage, lounge and playroom. A virtual doorman system supplements the entrance arrangement, and the building has a live-in superintendent. The courtyard is part of the route into the building and a shared exterior area.
The conversion involved an occupied property: the Attorney General's original filing identified regulated tenancies alongside the condominium offering. This profile concerns the individually traded condominium homes. That history makes the current occupancy and ownership schedule relevant when a lender reviews the association.
The largest owner now holds seven of the 28 residential lots, or 25%. The Attorney General's later filing history identifies a non-sponsor-controlled board. Those are separate facts: meaningful retained ownership can coexist with governance transferred to apartment owners.
DOF identifies four commercial lots in addition to the residential interests. There is no building-wide abatement, and residential units are taxed as Class 2. Commercial ownership and its allocation of common expenses should be distinguished from the residential unit count in any project review.

Common charges plus real estate taxes, combined into one monthly figure the way New York condominium listings show them. Add a mortgage payment for the monthly outlay. The split into common charges and taxes comes from the listings that also give the annual tax, a different sample, so the two lines need not add up exactly to the combined median; a tax abatement can hold taxes below the full amount until it expires. A summary of recorded sales and listings, not a current bill; charges change.

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.
How to read this, and where it comes from
QEWI = Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector — a licensed professional engineer or registered architect who meets DOB’s FISP qualifications and signs the report (the independent expert, not the managing agent).
Penalties shown are amounts DOB assessed against filings on record across 2005–10 to 2020–25. The FISP dataset does not record whether they were paid, contested or remain open, so treat the figure as history rather than a current balance and confirm the building’s standing with the managing agent.

Market read. Most recent trades (2026 to date) cleared a median $813/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 0.9% 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.
