A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 310 West 72nd 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.
310 West 72nd Street is a 1924 Italian Renaissance cooperative by Robert T. Lyons, the architect behind The St. Urban at 285 Central Park West and a body of distinguished pre-war Manhattan work. It sits between West End Avenue and Riverside Drive in the far-western Upper West Side, one short block from Riverside Park — a location that pairs serious pre-war architecture with the quiet of the avenue's western reaches.
The building reads as a Renaissance palazzo: a limestone base, a canopied entrance, and a broad 72nd Street frontage, with a restored lobby that signals the quality inside. The apartments carry the classic pre-war vocabulary — beamed ceilings, plaster moldings, gracious entry foyers, and dining alcoves. The Landmarks Preservation Commission includes the building as a contributing structure in the West End–Collegiate Historic District Extension, protecting the façade and confirming its standing.
Converted from a rental to a cooperative in 1989, 310 West 72nd Street is notably flexible by pre-war co-op standards — it permits pied-à-terre ownership, allows subletting, and is pet-friendly to both cats and dogs. Combined with a full-service staff, a children's playroom, and a deep stock of combinable lines, that flexibility makes it one of the more transactable full-service pre-war co-ops on the western Upper West Side.
Architecture and unit composition
The building's roughly 120 apartments span 16 stories, with a range that runs from studios through four-bedroom homes, including many combined lines that create large, gracious residences. The classic pre-war interiors — beamed ceilings, moldings, entry foyers, and dining alcoves — survive in varying degrees depending on each apartment's renovation history.
The combined three- and four-bedroom homes are the building's marquee inventory and anchor its top end. Across the building, exposure, floor, line, and condition drive value; buyers should evaluate each home individually.
Building operations
310 West 72nd Street operates as a full-service pre-war cooperative with a 24-hour doorman, a live-in superintendent, and full-service elevators. Shared amenities include a children's playroom, central laundry, a bike room, and private storage available for rent.
The building is welcoming on policy by Upper West Side co-op standards: it is pet-friendly to both cats and dogs, permits pied-à-terre ownership, allows subletting, and permits in-unit washer/dryer installation. 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 term limits — should be confirmed at offer stage.

The latest available filing classified the facade as SWARMP — Safe With A Repair and Maintenance Program: the engineer identified conditions requiring monitoring or repair before the next inspection cycle.

How to read this, and where it comes from
QEWI = Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector — the licensed engineer the city requires to sign 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.

Recent sales
310 West 72nd Street prices at a premium per-room level for a full-service pre-war co-op near Riverside Park. Pricing spans a wide range, from studios through junior and one-bedroom homes and two-bedroom combinations to large combined three- and four-bedroom homes. The Renaissance architecture, the full-service operation, the accommodating policies, and the Riverside Park proximity support pricing across that range.
Turnover is steady for a building of roughly 120 apartments. Because the building's value is driven by combined-line homes that behave very differently from the base stock, building-wide averages are of limited use; a current apartment-level comparable analysis is the right tool for pricing any individual home.

Full closing history with price-per-square-foot over time, the complete retrade record, and every line that has traded.
Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-01183-0037) 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 a genuine Renaissance palazzo — the limestone base, canopied entrance, restored lobby, and beamed-ceiling interiors — distinguish the building.
The policies are accommodating. Pied-à-terre, permitted subletting, pet-friendliness to cats and dogs, and allowed washer/dryer installation make this an easier pre-war co-op to transact in than much of the avenue.
Combined lines are the premium inventory. The large three- and four-bedroom combinations anchor the building's top end.
It's a Riverside Park location. One short block from the park, with the calm of the western Upper West Side.
Buy on line, exposure, and condition. Within a pre-war building of this scale, those factors drive value.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the Renaissance pedigree and the restored lobby. The Lyons authorship and the landmark-district façade are genuine differentiators.
Foreground the friendly policies. Pet-friendliness and permitted pied-à-terre and subletting meaningfully widen the buyer pool.
Differentiate combined homes. Large combined residences warrant bespoke positioning against the base stock.
Closing timelines are co-op standard. Generally 4–8 weeks from contract 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.
