About the building
22 West 96th Street is a 20-foot-wide brownstone built in 1891–92 by architect and developer Edward Kilpatrick. Its Renaissance Revival exterior stands on the Central Park block of West 96th Street. The house is part of the Upper West Side/Central Park West Historic District. Its residential layout has evolved through combinations, including an upper duplex extending over two floors.
The apartment mix includes a single-level two-bedroom layout and the larger duplex, approximately 1,800 square feet, with three-bedroom configurations. The upper home includes laundry and central air conditioning. Access is by stairs, with an additional internal stair connecting the duplex levels. The depth of the townhouse places the front rooms toward West 96th Street and the rear rooms toward the block interior.

What to know if you’re buying
The apartment combinations affect the cooperative's ownership structure. The proprietary lease and share allocation should match the floors included in a purchase. A very small number of owners participates in decisions about the landmark facade, roof and shared stairs, so the distribution of voting rights and maintenance obligations carries particular weight here.

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.
