Own an apartment here? See what it would sell for.
A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at The Saxony 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 Saxony has a footnote in New York architectural history that no marketing copy can manufacture: completed in 1900, it was the first apartment building Emery Roth designed — the opening move of the career that would go on to shape Central Park West and the Upper West Side skyline at the San Remo, the Beresford, and beyond. To buy here is to own a piece of the prologue to the city's most consequential residential architect.
The building was conceived at the height of the Beaux-Arts apartment boom, when developers were persuading well-off New Yorkers that an apartment could be as respectable as a house. Roth answered with a red-brick-and-limestone facade ornamented to signal exactly that standing; the original Saxony apartments were laid out at nine rooms, with two baths, butler's pantries, and private halls, served by "liveried hall service night and day." That ambition still reads in the building's bones — high ceilings, deep rooms, and the proportions of an era that built apartments for permanence.
Today the cooperative joins the corner Saxony building with the boutique pre-war house at 254 West 82nd Street, a single well-run co-op of 37 homes. For a buyer who wants genuine architectural pedigree on a low-rise, human-scaled Broadway corner, there is nothing else quite like it.
Architecture and unit composition
Roth's exterior is the building's signature: a seven-story Beaux-Arts composition in red brick and white limestone, detailed with the cornices, surrounds, and ornament that announced status in 1900. The relatively low rise and the corner siting give the residences light from multiple exposures — a quality the taller buildings up Broadway can't match floor-for-floor.
Inside, the Saxony's original nine-room apartments set the template; over the building's long life many have been reconfigured, and the cooperative's joint structure with 254 West 82nd Street produces a varied mix across the 37 homes — from boutique pre-war layouts to larger, gracious spreads carrying the era's high ceilings, hardwood floors, and decorative detail. Each home is served by a large dedicated storage unit, an amenity that pre-war buyers with real furniture genuinely value.
Building operations
The Saxony runs as a well-maintained cooperative with an amenity set that punches above its size: a fitness room, a children's playroom, in-building laundry, large per-unit storage, and a bike room. Staffing is a part-time doorman, a live-in superintendent, and a full-time porter — appropriate to a 37-unit pre-war house and a meaningful step up from the no-staff brownstone alternatives on the surrounding side streets. The building is pet-friendly. Admissions follow a conventional co-op board application and interview, with the board underwriting to a sound financial standard typical of established West Side cooperatives.

Facade safety — Local Law 11
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.

What to know if you’re buying
Buy the light and the layout, and value the provenance. Corner exposures and the larger reconfigured homes are the prizes here, and they don't come up often. Confirm which of the two joined buildings a given apartment sits in, since that affects exposure and feel. Come prepared for a standard co-op board package and interview, plan financing to a conservative standard, and budget for typical New York co-op closing costs. The amenity set — gym, playroom, real storage — is unusually deep for a 37-unit pre-war building and is part of what you're paying for.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the story and the substance. Emery Roth's first apartment building is a genuine, defensible differentiator, and the amenity package — fitness room, playroom, large storage, full-time porter — answers the practical questions families ask. Price against the building's own recent trades and the comparable West Side pre-war set, and stage to show the ceiling heights, the light, and the original detail. A clean, board-ready package keeps the deal on schedule; in a building this small, a smooth sale protects the next one's pricing too.

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.
