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, those reported policies may suit different uses, but do not establish relative liquidity; confirm current terms and review dated sales.
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.
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 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 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.
The building has roughly 120 apartments; establish turnover from dated listings and recorded sales rather than unit count. 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.

Market read. Most recent trades (2026 to date) cleared a median $1,245/sf (floor-adjusted) across 1 sale. Floor-adjusted means each sale is restated to a constant mix of floors, so the figure can differ from the plain median of the sales listed above. Median listing discount 0.0% from the last ask.

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 use, subletting, cats and dogs, and washer/dryer installation are all permitted; confirm the current rules in the proprietary lease and house rules.
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.
