A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at The Peter Stuyvesant 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 Peter Stuyvesant at 258 Riverside Drive is one of the most architecturally memorable buildings on a drive defined by its architecture. Completed in 1908 to designs by William L. Rouse for the developer James T. Lee — a figure whose New York real-estate career would later connect him, as a grandfather, to Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis — the building anchors the Riverside Drive and West 98th Street corner with a confidence that has only grown more distinctive with time.
Its signature is unmistakable: a crowning band of arched windows on the third and top floors, outlined in vivid blue glazed terra-cotta, rising above a four-story rusticated limestone base and a long brick body. The composition is Beaux-Arts in its grammar and Italian Renaissance Revival in its detail — the architecture of an era that treated Riverside Drive as Manhattan's grand river boulevard, lined with mansions and the first generation of luxury apartment houses built to capture the Hudson light. Few buildings on the drive announce themselves as clearly from a distance. Inside, the layout is unusual and gracious: two separate elevator banks, each opening to a private vestibule shared by only two apartments, give most residents a semi-private landing.
The siting compounds the appeal. A corner position on Riverside Drive delivers river-facing and cross-street exposures that vary by floor and position, with a roof deck taking in panoramic views of the river and the Manhattan skyline. Converted to a cooperative in 1988 and within the Riverside–West End Historic District, the building offers a relatively intimate 51-apartment scale ; verify actual layouts, occupancy and turnover from current plans, management records and dated transfers.
Architecture and unit composition
At 51 apartments across thirteen stories, The Peter Stuyvesant is a low-density pre-war building — and the math shows in the apartments. Layouts skew large, with the deep room proportions, separated entertaining rooms, and entry foyers characteristic of 1908-era luxury planning. The building's roughly 2,700-square-foot average per residential unit places it among the more spacious pre-war buildings on the drive.
Pre-war signatures recur throughout: high ceilings, hardwood floors, period architectural detail in varying states of preservation, and river-facing exposures on the western flank. The unit mix runs from larger one- and two-bedrooms to expansive three-bedroom layouts, with some combined apartments producing still-larger configurations. Corner river-facing units — Riverside Drive plus West 98th Street exposure — command the building's clearest view premium. Condition varies apartment to apartment; original detail and renovation state are unit-specific questions.
Building operations
The Peter Stuyvesant operates as a full-service pre-war cooperative with a part-time doorman and a live-in resident manager, and shared amenities that punch above the building's modest size: a river-view roof deck, a bicycle room, private storage bins, and a central laundry. The building converted to cooperative ownership in 1988 — among the later conversions of the wave that reshaped Upper West Side ownership from the late 1950s through the 1980s.
The board is comparatively accommodating for a prime-drive pre-war co-op. Pets are permitted, financing is allowed up to 80%, and sublets are permitted (with a sublet fee equal to 10% of the monthly rent). A 2% flip tax applies on resale. Renovation scope is shaped by the building's historic-district status and pre-war character, and trust ownership is workable with attention to the city's co-op/condo property-tax abatement eligibility rules.

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
The park and river exposure is the core asset. Riverside Park and the Hudson give the building its western light and river views, which vary by floor, position and exposure; no view is protected without a recorded instrument. The roof deck extends the outlook building-wide.
The architecture is genuinely distinctive. The blue terra-cotta arched crown is a recognizable, marketable feature, not a generic pre-war facade.
Know the policies. Subletting and pets are permitted under the building's documented policy; 80% financing and a 2% flip tax are reported but not documented, so confirm both in the proprietary lease, house rules and application instructions.
Check current availability. The 51-apartment count does not establish turnover or occupancy; review current listings and dated transfers before planning a search.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the river and the crown. Direct Hudson exposure, the roof deck's panoramic views, and the building's distinctive blue terra-cotta architecture are the strongest marketing assets on the drive.
Foreground the accommodating rules. 80% financing and permitted sublets widen the buyer pool relative to stricter drive co-ops.
Large layouts need apartment-specific positioning. With spacious, varied configurations and the semi-private landings, comparable-sales analysis benefits from broker familiarity with the building's unit mix.
Corner and high-floor river units command premiums. Foreground exposure, floor altitude, and view in the listing strategy.

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.
