318 West 100th Street

The building stands on a lot of about 70 by 101 feet, about 7,060 square feet, with about 32,700 square feet of floor area, all residential, per PLUTO. The lot is zoned R8B. LPC records the front's historic features: the portico with fluted columns and a balustraded balcony, the historic door and transom, stained glass, windows with keystone lintels, and brick and terra-cotta surrounds with balconette railings at the upper stories. The cornice has been removed and the parapet resurfaced, and a glass vestibule has been set into the portico.

The apartments are numbered by floor and line, 1A through 8D, and each has its own unit lot. There is no penthouse unit. Listing records describe prewar detail surviving in many apartments: archways, picture moldings and inlaid floors. Confirm this apartment by apartment.

Façade and roof. The Local Law 11 record shows the façade rated safe with repair and maintenance in the 2007 and 2014 cycles, and safe in the 2017 and 2023 cycles. A 2014 DOB filing covered about $347,000 of façade and roof repair, and the roof was replaced under a 2017 filing. DOB NOW shows façade restoration filings in 2022 and 2024. There are sidewalk-shed and suspended-scaffold permits from 2022, 2025 and March 2026, and a further façade restoration filing was in plan review in August 2026. Ask the managing agent what this round covers, its budget, and whether it is paid for from reserves or an assessment.

Mechanical. A 2024 filing replaced the fuel-oil storage tank, so the building still burns oil for heat, at least in part. Ask about the boiler's age and the board's fuel plans.

Taxes. No J-51 or other building-wide benefit is on the current roll; J-51 abatements are applied on the bill, so check each unit's current bill. The historical J-51 file shows small abatements on each unit lot beginning in 1989 and 1995. They reflect building-wide work, and the last of them ran out in the 2006 tax year.

The condominium's amended Rules, effective November 1, 2016, are on file in The Roebling Research Library. They are the strongest source on current policy.

Pets. Only with the Board of Managers' written consent, which the board can revoke. Animals must be carried or leashed in common areas. The board accommodates disabled residents as the law requires.

Leasing. Every lease goes to the board for approval. Leases must be at least three months, unless the board approves a shorter term for good cause. Transient occupancy is prohibited. Owners must give tenants a copy of the Rules and are responsible for their violations.

Laundry and appliances. No washer or dryer may be installed in an apartment. Dishwashers and garbage disposals need board approval. There is a common laundry room.

Alterations and moves. Owners must sign the alteration agreement and pay an alteration fee and a damage deposit. Noisy work is allowed only on weekdays from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Moves are on weekdays from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. with a move fee and the mover's insurance certificate.

Other. Floors must be 80% covered with rugs or equivalent. Air conditioners need board approval and proper installation. The roof is off-limits except to board members. Second-hand smoke drifting into another unit is treated as a nuisance at the owner's cost.

Recent sales

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-01888-7501; each condominium apartment is its own tax lot). 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.

No washer or dryer in the apartment. The house rules prohibit it. If in-unit laundry matters to you, this building is not the answer, and a seller's claim otherwise should be checked against the current Rules.

Ask about the current façade work. There is an active round of façade filings. Ask for the budget, the funding source, and whether any special assessment has been levied or is planned.

Ownership concentration should not be a lender issue. The building is fully sold out and no owner holds more than two apartments in ACRIS. Lenders review other things too, so give the lender the building early and ask the managing agent for the lender questionnaire.

Check whether the board has a right of first refusal. The Rules do not address it. Ask the managing agent whether the declaration or by-laws do, and how long the waiver takes.

Lead with tenure. A prewar condominium with no co-op board interview reaches buyers who would not consider a cooperative. Confirm financing rules in the declaration and bylaws before saying so in the listing.

Have the paperwork ready. Buyers' attorneys will ask for the current Rules, the budget, the reserve balance and the status of the façade project. Order the managing agent's package when you list.
