A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 311 East 83rd 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.
311 East 83rd Street is a small postwar cooperative with a notably varied collection of outdoor spaces. Garden duplexes occupy the base, balconies serve some middle-floor apartments, and duplex penthouses have setback terraces. Its six-story form and semi-private residential floors keep the association at a much smaller scale than the nearby avenue towers.
The 1978 building sits just east of Second Avenue, near the southern entrance to the Q train's 86th Street station. Its larger apartments include two- and three-bedroom configurations, with separate living and bedroom areas and, in some cases, internal stairs connecting the principal spaces.
Architecture and unit composition
Garden homes can spread across two interior levels and open to outdoor areas large enough for separate dining and sitting spaces. The change in grade can also produce more than one exterior level. These layouts give direct access to planted or paved areas at the rear of the building.
Middle-floor apartments include broad living rooms and bedrooms facing the rear townhouse gardens. Some have balconies off the bedroom wing. The larger plans generally separate bedrooms from the principal entertaining area through a hall, while through-wall air conditioning leaves the window openings available for light.
At the top, duplex penthouses have private south-facing setback terraces. Fireplaces and in-unit laundry appear in some homes. A penthouse's internal staircase is an additional access consideration even though the building has an elevator; the elevator serves the apartment entrance, not each interior level.
Building operations
The building has a renovated lobby and hallways, an updated elevator and controlled entry through security doors and an intercom system. Storage cages and bicycle storage are available in the basement. Storage carries its own arrangements and can involve a separate charge.
The existing building nearly fills the residential FAR shown for its R8B zoning district. There is no current building-level tax abatement, and its residential assessment is Class 2. The cooperative's small inventory spreads responsibility for the elevator and common areas across a limited number of apartments.

Local Law 97
This building is below the 25,000 sq ft threshold at which LL97 limits apply to a building on its own. It is still covered if it shares a tax lot or condominium board with buildings totaling over 50,000 sq ft; confirm on DOB’s covered-buildings list.
See full Local Law 97 analysis →Facade safety — Local Law 11
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 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.

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 1-01546-0009). Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified in The Roebling Research Library. 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.

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.
