A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at The Fitzgerald 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 Fitzgerald brings prewar construction and condominium ownership together at West 74th Street and Broadway. Its 92 residences occupy a sixteen-story building with a masonry exterior, a staffed entrance and a shared roof deck. Studios and one-bedroom homes account for much of the recorded resale inventory, giving buyers access to this part of the Upper West Side in relatively compact apartment sizes.
The property has a history preceding its condominium use. City Planning records identify an earlier hotel use at the address, and the condominium conversion dates to 1985. The building's present residential form therefore incorporates both an older physical structure and a later ownership arrangement.
The corner location connects the building directly to Broadway's commercial frontage. West 74th Street supplies the cross-street setting, and the upper floors rise well above the lower surrounding roofs. Homes differ in their orientation toward the avenue, the side street and the interior of the block.
Architecture and unit composition
The lower façade has a stone base, with brick rising above and decorative stonework marking portions of the elevations. Each room's position within the masonry façade determines its available window openings.
The apartment inventory includes studios, alcove studios and one-bedroom homes. In an alcove studio, the relationship between the recess, the main room and the windows determines how well sleeping and living functions can be separated. A one-bedroom adds an enclosed room, but the layout of the entry, kitchen and storage still affects the amount of space available for furniture.
Recorded interior areas include compact studios and one-bedrooms with materially more enclosed space. That range makes the floor plan a more useful starting point than the bedroom label alone. Two one-bedroom homes can differ in the length of the living room, the amount of circulation space and the way the kitchen connects to the principal room.
Some apartments have windowed kitchens or bathrooms. These openings are meaningful features in a compact plan, providing light and ventilation outside the main living space. Their direction and proximity to surrounding walls can be different from the main room's outlook.
Decades of individual ownership have produced different renovation histories. Kitchen arrangements, bathroom condition and built-in storage vary across resales. The building's age and conversion date describe its broader history, not when any one apartment's interior was last renovated.
Building operations
The Fitzgerald has a full-time doorman and resident superintendent, with package facilities supporting the staffed entrance. Central laundry provides a common service within the building. Bicycle storage adds a separate facility for residents, and the roof deck supplies shared outdoor space above the residential floors.
The furnished roof is part of the common amenity program. It offers an outdoor setting with elevated views without requiring an apartment to include a private terrace. Access, furniture and upkeep are building-level responsibilities, distinct from the interior condition of any individual home.
The tax structure includes 92 residential lots and two commercial lots. DOF records an Article XI benefit beginning in 2001, with a stated thirty-one-year term and active status on the 2027 roll. This is a particular feature of the building's tax history, and it should not be confused with the new-construction 421-a programs found at other condominiums.
The building is not landmark-designated. Its built FAR also exceeds the residential allowance shown for the present zoning. Those two facts address different matters: landmark designation governs preservation review, while the zoning ratio describes density. Neither one establishes that an owner can enlarge an apartment or alter an exterior opening without the approvals applicable to the work.

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 $1,556/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 0.6% 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.
