About the building
213 East 71st Street is a small townhouse cooperative on the Lenox Hill block between Second and Third Avenues. City records date it to 1910. The ownership is held through 213 East 71st Street Apartment Corp., with four residences in the current city count. The building's limited number of homes and stair access distinguish its operating scale from the taller apartment houses along the avenues.
The residential mix includes floor-through apartments and a multilevel penthouse. The upper home has a setback terrace reached from its top level; other accommodation includes two-bedroom layouts. Fireplaces, in-home laundry and central air conditioning occur among the renovated interiors. Outdoor space is attached to particular apartments, and the penthouse's interior stairs are additional to the building's common circulation.

The retrade record
Lines that have traded more than once in the public record — the building’s appreciation arc, apartment by apartment.
Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-01426-0009) and verified listing data. Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified by The Roebling Team research desk. 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.

What to know if you’re buying
The small shareholder group is responsible for the townhouse's common repairs and operating costs. A roof-level purchase also involves the allocation of terrace upkeep and underlying roof work. Access is by stairs, which is particularly consequential for the upper multilevel accommodation and should be considered alongside the interior floor plan.

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.
