201 East 62nd Street

Nineteen stories plus penthouse, 69 apartments — roughly three to four units per floor, in post-war proportions that renovate well: defined foyers, dining areas, and generous closets, with terraces on select lines and penthouse-level outdoor space at the top of the building. South-facing units read over the Treadwell Farm townhouse rows toward protected light; west-facing units get the Third Avenue corridor and the plaza across the avenue. The mix runs from one-bedrooms through three-bedroom and combined lines. As is typical for the vintage, condition spread is wide — estate-condition units and fully renovated ones trade in the same lines — and pricing tracks light, floor, terrace, and renovation status.

Full-service at boutique scale: 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, fitness room, central laundry, bike room, private storage, and the basement garage — a meaningful convenience on a corner where parking is scarce. The retail base and doctor's office were part of the original plan and contribute commercial income to the corporation. The building is professionally managed; the offering plan is on file in The Roebling Research Library, and current financial statements should be reviewed by your attorney during diligence.

Recent sales

Recent transfers at this building, from The Roebling Research Library. Prices are the transfer amounts recorded with the NYC Department of Finance; apartment-level detail is checked against the building’s own file in The Roebling Research Library before publishing.

Market read. Most recent trades (2026 to date) cleared a median $1,082/sf (floor-adjusted) across 3 sales. 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 5.8% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-01417-0001). Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified in The Roebling Research Library. Not all transactions cross-verify with ACRIS records — sponsor and LLC purchases sometimes record at stipulated values rather than market price; square footage on co-ops is not officially recorded, figures shown are approximate.

Born a co-op, and it shows. No conversion-era sponsor units, no inherited rental infrastructure — the corporation has been shareholder-run since 1963. Your attorney's diligence should still cover the financials and house rules, but the ownership structure is unusually clean for the vintage.

The policy stack is standard Upper East Side discipline. 65 percent maximum financing, a 2 percent purchaser-paid flip tax, and case-by-case board posture on pets, pieds-à-terre, washer/dryers, and structures — all per brokerage records, all to be verified at offer stage. Run the Co-op Board Qualification Calculator before offering.

The district next door shapes the east outlook. The Treadwell Farm rows to the east are landmarked and low-rise; south- and east-facing light above the townhouse line depends on floor and exposure, and landmark status is not a recorded view protection.

Central air was built in. The building was designed with central air conditioning, which can avoid the through-wall or ductless retrofits many post-war peers need. Confirm the current equipment, its age and capacity, the distribution in the specific apartment and what the alteration agreement permits before pricing work, then run the Renovation Cost Calculator against the specific unit's condition.

The garage is small — confirm availability. Built for roughly 20 cars per the offering plan; waitlist status and current rates should be confirmed with the managing agent before contract if parking matters to you.

Market the corner, not just the apartment. Treadwell Farm adjacency, townhouse outlooks that depend on floor and exposure, the Q and weekday M at Lexington–63rd (F nights and weekends) a block away, and built-in central air are building-level facts that distinguish the listing from generic post-war Third Avenue stock. Use them specifically.

Price to the condition spread. The buyer pool here compares renovated and estate units in the same lines; honest condition pricing clears, aspirational pricing sits. Same-line history is the right anchor.

Have the documents ready. The 1962 offering plan is on file with us; pairing it with current financials and house rules at listing accelerates attorney review and signals a well-run house. Run the Seller Closing Cost Calculator — including the 2 percent flip tax's effect on buyer math — before setting the ask.
