A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 30 East 76th Street 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.
30 East 76th Street is among the few late-1920s pre-war Manhattan luxury buildings that operates as a condominium rather than a cooperative — a relatively rare structural arrangement for pre-war inventory of this character. The 1985 condominium conversion produced a building that combines pre-war architectural credentials with the operating model and financial flexibility of contemporary luxury condominium inventory.
The Landmarks Preservation Commission's district record dates 30 East 76th to 1928–29 and credits Shreve, Lamb & Harmon, with a red-brick neo-Venetian Renaissance design. That places it just after the peak of Carpenter-era Fifth Avenue and Lenox Hill luxury apartment design — 944 Fifth, 1010 Fifth, 1020 Fifth, 1030 Fifth, 1136 Fifth, 1165 Fifth, 1175 Park, 1107 Fifth, all built between 1924 and 1926. The construction-quality peak of the era produced a substantial body of architecturally distinguished luxury apartment buildings, and 30 East 76th belongs to the late-1920s end of that cycle.
The distinguishing architectural feature is the pitched copper roof — among the more visually memorable rooflines on the East 76th Street block. The redbrick facade accented with subtle vertical piers, paired with the sculpted pitched copper roof above, produces a building reading that is distinct from the dogmatically classical pre-war Fifth Avenue and Park Avenue inventory and reads more in dialogue with Anglo-American eclectic luxury apartment design.
The small inventory produces a particularly intimate residential character, with limited annual turnover and a per-resident service infrastructure ratio comparable to the smallest tier-one Fifth Avenue cooperatives. The 15-story height and the building's narrow site produce apartments of varying configurations distributed across the floors.
The East 76th Street positioning is at the heart of the Madison Avenue / Lenox Hill cultural corridor. The Breuer building (Marcel Breuer's 1966 Whitney Museum building, later the Met Breuer and Frick Madison, and since November 2025 Sotheby's headquarters) is one block south at Madison and 75th. The Carlyle Hotel — among the most architecturally and culturally consequential hotel-residences on the Upper East Side — is one block east at Madison and 76th. The Madison Avenue retail corridor — among the most architecturally and commercially significant retail streets in Manhattan — runs immediately east.
For buyers, 30 East 76th represents a particular tier of Madison Avenue / Lenox Hill inventory: pre-war architectural credentials, condominium ownership flexibility, 16-residence scale producing limited turnover, and central Lenox Hill positioning at the heart of the Madison Avenue / Carlyle / Breuer building concentration.
Architecture and unit composition
The 16 apartments span configurations from approximately 1,500 sf 2BRs to substantially larger 3–4 BR and full-floor configurations across the 15 stories. The building's most architecturally distinctive apartments are the upper-floor configurations with the pitched-copper roof character integrated into the apartment design.
Pre-war signatures throughout: 10–11 foot ceilings in primary rooms, formal entry galleries, library-living room combinations, primary suites with substantial closet infrastructure, service wings characteristic of late-1920s luxury apartment design.
Building operations
30 East 76th Street operates as a full-service luxury condominium with full-time doorman, attended elevator, on-site superintendent, and private storage. The 16-residence scale produces a low operational density with a high per-resident service ratio.
As a condominium, there is no co-op board admission, and leasing by owners is permitted with conditions under the building's documented terms. Confirm financing, foreign-buyer, pied-à-terre and investment-use rules in the current declaration and bylaws during due diligence.

The latest available filing classified the facade as SWARMP — Safe With A Repair and Maintenance Program: the inspector (QEWI) identified conditions requiring monitoring or repair, with repairs due by the deadline stated in the filing. The scope, timeline, and how the building funds the work are building-specific — we review the filings and board materials for you.
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
The condominium structure is the building's structural advantage. Pre-war architectural credentials paired with condominium ownership flexibility — a relatively rare arrangement among pre-war Manhattan luxury inventory.
The architectural pedigree is real. The 1928–29 Shreve, Lamb & Harmon design and the distinctive copper-roof / redbrick facade produce a particular visual identity.
Condo ownership removes the co-op board. As a condominium, there is no co-op board admission; purchases run through the condominium's application and right-of-first-refusal process. Confirm foreign ownership, pied-à-terre and investment use, and subletting in the current declaration, bylaws and house rules.
Confirm specific policies directly with management. Financing posture, monthly common charges, special assessments, and any specific building rules should be obtained directly during due diligence.
The Madison Avenue / 76th positioning is structural. Immediate proximity to the Breuer building (now Sotheby's), the Carlyle, and the broader Madison Avenue retail / cultural corridor.
Mansion tax cliff effects apply at higher price points. Run pricing through the Mansion Tax Calculator.
What to know if you’re selling
The pre-war condominium combination is a particular marketing positioning. Listing copy should reference the architectural pedigree, the condominium structure, and the distinctive copper-roof facade.
Pricing requires apartment-level comparable analysis. The 16-residence scale produces limited recent comparable inventory.
Closing timelines are condo-fast. 30–45 days from contract signing to closing.

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.
