304 West 75th Street is a 1930 Art Deco cooperative by Robert T. Lyons, one of the era's accomplished apartment-house architects — the designer of the Gramercy Park Hotel and a number of distinguished pre-war Manhattan buildings. It sits on a quiet, leafy block between West End Avenue and Riverside Drive, one block from Riverside Park, in the far-western Upper West Side stretch that pairs serious pre-war architecture with a residential calm distinct from the Broadway corridor's energy.
The building is a clear example of late-1920s Art Deco apartment design: a brick façade with vertical emphasis, decorative brickwork, and stepped-back upper floors, with a surviving historic base, entrance, and original light fixtures that the Landmarks Preservation Commission noted when it brought the building into the West End–Collegiate Historic District Extension in 2013. That designation protects the façade and confirms the building's architectural standing.
For buyers, 304 West 75th Street offers full-service pre-war living — doorman, resident manager, a real amenity set — at the western edge of the Upper West Side, with the convenience of an accommodating, pet-friendly board and an attainable entry point through its studio and one-bedroom inventory.
Architecture and unit composition
The building's 120 apartments span 16 stories. The stock skews to smaller homes — studios and one-bedrooms predominate, with a number of combined units creating larger residences. The proportions are pre-war: high ceilings, generous windows, and the period detail that survives in varying degrees depending on each apartment's renovation history.
Combined apartments are the building's larger inventory and warrant individual evaluation. Across the building, condition, exposure, and floor are the swing factors; buyers should assess each home on its own terms.
Building operations
304 West 75th Street operates as a full-service pre-war cooperative with a 24-hour doorman, a live-in resident manager, and elevator service. Shared amenities are broad for the building's size — a fitness room, a landscaped common garden, central laundry, a bike room, and private storage lockers.
The building is pet-friendly: cats are permitted, and dogs are permitted subject to a weight limit applied at roughly 40 pounds. Pied-à-terre ownership is permitted with board approval, and subletting is permitted with board consent. Shareholders in primary residence benefit from the NYC co-op/condo property-tax abatement. Specific financial policy — financing percentage permitted, flip tax, and exact sublet terms — should be confirmed at offer stage.

Facade safety — Local Law 11
The latest available FISP filing classified the facade as Safe — no repairs were required at that inspection. Facade inspections run on a fixed five-year cycle; future inspection, repair, and any assessment decisions remain building-specific.

Recent sales
304 West 75th Street is an entry-to-mid price point for the prime Riverside / West End sub-area. With its studio-and-one-bedroom-heavy stock, the building transacts on a per-room basis below the avenue's grand pre-war co-ops: studios in the mid-$300,000s, one-bedrooms broadly in the $600,000s to mid-$700,000s, and larger combined homes meaningfully higher. The Art Deco architecture, the amenity set, and the block's proximity to Riverside Park support pricing within that band.
Turnover is steady, consistent with a building dominated by smaller homes. Because condition and exposure vary widely — and because combined units behave differently from the base stock — a current apartment-level comparable analysis is the right tool for pricing any individual home.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-01184-0087) and verified listing data. Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified by The Roebling Team research desk. 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.
What to know if you’re buying
The architecture is the headline. Robert T. Lyons authorship and genuine Art Deco detail — the brickwork, the stepped upper floors, the original entrance and fixtures — distinguish the building.
It's an attainable full-service pre-war co-op. Doorman, resident manager, and a fitness room and garden, at an accessible entry point through the studio and one-bedroom stock.
It's pet-friendly within limits. Cats are welcome; dogs are permitted up to roughly 40 pounds.
Combined units are the larger inventory. If you need space, focus on the combined homes and evaluate them individually.
Buy on condition and exposure. Within a building of this age, renovation level and light drive value.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the Art Deco pedigree and the amenities. The Lyons authorship, the landmark-district façade, and the fitness room and garden are genuine differentiators.
Foreground the friendly policies. Pet-friendliness and permitted pied-à-terre and subletting widen the buyer pool.
Differentiate combined units. Larger combined homes warrant bespoke positioning against the base stock.
Closing timelines are co-op standard. Generally 4–8 weeks from contract to closing.
