233 East 70th Street, New York, NY 10021

122 recorded transfers, 2004–2026. Sortable and searchable below.

Co-ops are normally measured by price per room, since square footage is not officially recorded for them. This building is shown in price per square foot because most of its sales carry documented footage, which makes the sharper measure the honest one here.

Recorded transfers: 122

Change in the building’s median $/sf over each window, on a floor-adjusted basis — standardized to the building’s average floor, so it reflects price rather than which floors happened to sell. This is a different method from The Roebling Index, which publishes plain medians and applies no floor adjustment; the two are not interchangeable. Floor adjustment standardizes for floor only. It does not control for condition, size, exposure, renovation or the mix of what happened to trade. (2022 marks the rate-shock inflection.) Like-for-like repeat-sale figures to follow.

This is an active, liquid line of inventory. ACRIS records a continuous run of share transfers on the residential unit — several in most years, with a heavier flow in 2021 and 2022 — spanning studios through combined apartments. Pricing is quoted per room in this market. Small apartments here sit at the accessible end of Lenox Hill, and the combinations sit well above it; the spread within the building is wide, and a comparable drawn from the wrong tier will mislead.

Three things drive value inside the building: floor and exposure, whether the apartment is a single unit or a combination, and renovation condition. Against the neighbourhood, the building's advantages are its low underlying leverage, its permissive sublet policy relative to most Lenox Hill cooperatives, and a per-share flip tax that does not scale with price. Its disadvantage is the structural confusion the condop wrapper creates with lenders, which is manageable but must be managed. Unit-level transaction history is maintained in The Roebling Research Library and shared with clients during diligence.

The complete recorded-sale history for 233 East 70th Street, compiled from NYC Department of Finance transfer records, with apartment-by-apartment detail from The Roebling Research Library. Across sales with a public asking price, the building carries a median listing discount of 2.4% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy here.

Price per square foot over time

56 sales with a known square footage, by closing date.

Each dot is one recorded sale with a known interior square footage, plotted by closing date against price per square foot. The line is the median $/sf each year, adjusted to a floor-standardized (average-floor) unit — so it reflects price movement, not which floors happened to sell that year. Individual sale prices in the table below are unadjusted — and you can click any dot to jump straight to that sale.

Every recorded sale

Sort any column; filter by unit or keyword. Prices are the recorded transfer amount at the NYC Department of Finance. Every sale sits in one of three states: counted in the building’s medians and trend; shown but excluded as a non-arms-length or nominal transfer; or shown and ⚑ flagged for review — a possible duplicate filing or an extreme $/sf outlier, held out of the statistics pending manual verification rather than allowed to move them.

Sources, exclusions and how these figures are computed

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-01425-7501). 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. Storage, parking, and commercial units are excluded from all figures. Floor- and line-level $/sf are time-controlled (each sale measured against the building’s going rate at the time of sale) and expressed at today’s pricing, so they isolate the floor or line premium rather than blend two decades of market movement.
