A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at The Overdene 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 Overdene is one of the landmark-quality early apartment houses of upper Broadway — a fourteen-story Renaissance Revival building that anchored the southeast corner of Broadway and 105th Street as, in the words of the contemporary press, "upper Broadway's tallest apartment building" when it opened around 1917. Designed by Gaetan Ajello, the era's most accomplished Upper West Side apartment-house architect, for a then-considerable construction budget, it is an elegant pre-war cooperative whose gray brick and limestone façade rises from a rusticated base on the 105th Street side. The residential entrance is set within a gently curved arch at 230 West 105th Street, away from the Broadway commercial frontage.
The building's appeal is classic upper-Broadway value: large pre-war apartments with real period character — Ajello's lobby retains its graceful detailing and Tiffany-style stained glass — with pricing to assess against matched sales in buildings to the south, on a corridor with the 1 train, the neighborhood's restaurant-and-café row, and Riverside Park all within a short walk.
Architecture and unit composition
Ajello built a long string of distinguished apartment houses along Broadway and West End Avenue in the 1910s and 1920s, and the Overdene is among his more prominent — a reserved Renaissance Revival composition with a rusticated limestone base, variegated brick shaft, and a measured cornice, set on a corner that gives the building light and presence on two fronts. The original program ran to spacious layouts, including large multi-room apartments and a notable ten-room duplex, and the apartments carry the high ceilings, hardwood floors, and gracious room proportions of the period.
Across fourteen stories, the 69 residences range from one- and two-bedrooms to larger family layouts and combinations, with the upper floors capturing open city light and partial Hudson and skyline views. The Broadway base houses ground-floor retail, which keeps the residential entrance on the quieter side street.
Building operations
The Overdene runs as a full-service cooperative. There is a 24-hour doorman, a live-in superintendent, central laundry, and bike storage, and the lobby's preserved pre-war detail — including its stained-glass windows — sets the tone on arrival. The cooperative is pet-friendly, welcoming both dogs and cats, and subletting is permitted under board policy, giving owners genuine flexibility uncommon at stricter pre-war buildings. A flip tax applies on transfer per the cooperative's policy. The combination of full staffing, an owner-friendly pet and sublet posture, and upper-Broadway pricing makes this an unusually accessible full-service pre-war building.
Sublet and pied-à-terre policy
A condominium owner leasing a unit and a co-op shareholder subletting are different rules, and a building-wide rule is different from a restriction on one apartment. This is the building's rule; confirm it for the specific apartment.

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 2025–30. 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 floor and the exposure. Upper-floor apartments and lines that catch open light or partial river-and-skyline views carry the premium; lower and rear units trade at a discount that is often the building's best value. Because some apartments are combinations, walk the actual layout rather than relying on room counts.
The cooperative's terms are friendly: pets welcome, subletting permitted, full-time doorman service. That flexibility broadens your eventual resale audience and supports liquidity. A standard board package and interview apply; we help buyers assemble a clean file and read the maintenance against the building's full staffing and the value of its pre-war square footage.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with architecture and access. Ajello's design, the preserved stained-glass lobby, the corner light, and the 1 train at 103rd Street at the door distinguish an Overdene apartment from plainer Broadway stock — and Riverside Park is minutes away. The pet and sublet policies are real selling points; state them plainly.
Comp to configuration and exposure within the upper-Broadway pre-war cluster, not to a single building average. High-floor lines with light and views reward staging; clean financials and a well-prepared board package keep a deal moving. Well-priced apartments here meet active demand from buyers seeking pre-war space and full service at an accessible price.

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.
