A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at The Augusta 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 Augusta is an 1897 Renaissance Revival apartment house designed by S. B. Ogden & Co. for Andrew J. Kerwin Jr. Its Roman brick and stone exterior belongs to the Upper West Side's late-nineteenth-century apartment-house development. Condominium conversion followed in 1984, leaving a small association with 15 residences and two commercial tax lots.
The homes include garden duplexes, other multi-level plans and upper-floor duplex configurations. This gives the building considerably more variation in internal circulation and outdoor space than its five-story exterior suggests. Some apartments have private gardens or balconies, while others are entirely interior-focused.
Architecture and unit composition
The stone base has a heavy horizontal band course. A round-arched entrance, carved arch detailing and engaged columns establish the principal entrance; round-arched first-floor windows continue the composition. LPC identifies the building as flats from its original construction, with the current condominium occupying that earlier apartment-house structure.
Multi-level layouts are a recurring feature. Some place the kitchen, living and dining spaces together on one floor with the bedroom and full bathroom above. A separate entrance at the upper level can provide access without using the internal stair. Other plans incorporate an intermediate dining or office area, creating distinct levels within a compact overall footprint.
Garden duplexes have private outdoor space behind the building. Upper-floor homes include different arrangements of indoor and outdoor rooms. Ceiling heights and interior stair placement vary substantially across these types, so a plan's usable circulation matters alongside its total floor area. Fireplaces appear in some interiors; their operating status is specific to the apartment.
Building operations
The building has an elevator, intercom entry and shared laundry in the basement. Individual washer/dryer installations also exist in some homes. Residential ownership is dispersed across the 15 condominium lots, with no owner holding more than one residence.
The two commercial lots are part of the same condominium property. Their inclusion makes the declaration's allocation of expenses between commercial and residential ownership relevant to the building's operating structure. Historic-district designation also places exterior work within LPC's jurisdiction, including changes affecting the street facade and visible rooftop work.

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.
