A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at The Nottingham 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.
The Nottingham at 33 East 30th Street is an early-20th-century prewar cooperative in NoMad, the district north of Madison Square Park that has become one of Manhattan's most desirable central neighborhoods. Built in 1906 on the 30th Street block between Madison Avenue and Park Avenue South, the building was designed by architects Snelling & Potter and developed by the Amsterdam Building Co. It holds 43 apartments across nine floors, plus a commercial space, and operates today as a cooperative under the 35 East Tenants Corp.
The building's appeal is the combination of period architecture and a now-central NoMad location. NoMad's transformation over the past two decades — driven by hotels, restaurants, and a dense, walkable street life — has made early-prewar buildings like this one increasingly sought-after by buyers who want character, central convenience, and proximity to Madison Square Park, the Flatiron and NoMad dining scene, and the principal transit lines.
For buyers, The Nottingham offers what the well-located prewar co-op does best: refined period architecture and a sense of place, in the cooperative ownership structure, at a price point that sits below the area's new development. It is a building with genuine architectural pedigree in a neighborhood whose desirability has risen sharply.
Architecture and unit composition
The 1906 building is a prewar apartment house in the refined Madison Square idiom of its period, designed by architects Snelling & Potter for the Amsterdam Building Co. Built in concrete and steel, it rose to nine stories where traditional construction of the era would have capped the building at eight. The building's masonry facade and proportions reflect the early-20th-century apartment-house vocabulary of the area.
In residential cooperative use, the building offers the apartment configurations of a purpose-built prewar building — a range that, at this vintage and apartment count, runs from smaller prewar lines to larger configurations. With 43 units across nine floors, the building is mid-density, consistent with a 1906 apartment-house design, and apartments reflect the layouts, ceiling heights, and detail of the period as preserved or renovated over time.
Apartment-level features — floor, exposure, light, layout, ceiling height, and renovation condition — vary unit by unit and are the primary drivers of value. Evaluate each home on its specific configuration.
Building operations
The Nottingham operates as a self-contained residential cooperative under the 35 East Tenants Corp. As a prewar elevator building, it carries the operating profile typical of the early-prewar co-op: a resident or live-in superintendent, central building services, a commercial component that contributes to the building's income, and governance through the cooperative board and proprietary lease.
The building's policies on pets, financing percentages, subletting, pied-à-terre use, and alterations are set by the board and the proprietary lease, and the building's commercial income, reserve position, and capital history are central to underwriting any purchase. Prospective buyers should confirm the current rules, the building's financial profile, any assessments, and the status of building systems directly against current materials during due diligence; board specifics 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. 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 — 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
Sales at The Nottingham are best read on a co-op basis — on price per room and on apartment-specific configuration rather than on a single price-per-square-foot figure. The building sits in the accessible-to-mid tier of NoMad prewar co-op pricing: smaller prewar units transact in the lower end of the area's co-op range, with larger lines higher, and the building as a whole prices below the area's new-development condominiums while carrying the appeal of genuine period architecture.
Value tracks the usual co-op variables — floor, exposure, light, layout, apartment size, ceiling height, and renovation condition — with a character premium attaching to homes that retain period detail. Larger, higher, better-lit, recently renovated homes command the building's premium. Because the building's apartments span a range of sizes, pricing any individual home requires reading both in-building history and the broader NoMad prewar co-op market. Recent specific transactions should be confirmed against current public records at the time of any inquiry.

The retrade record

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 1-00860-0027) 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
This is a period prewar co-op — price and underwrite on rooms, character, and condition. Value is a function of room count, layout, light, ceiling height, and renovation condition. Build comparables on a price-per-room basis.
Confirm the board's financing, sublet, and pied-à-terre policies before you commit. These materially affect both your purchase and your future flexibility. Confirm at offer stage.
Diligence the finances, including the commercial income. Review the most recent financial statements, the reserve position, any assessments, and how the building's commercial space contributes to its budget — and the status of building systems in a 1906 structure.
NoMad is central and lively. The location pairs Madison Square Park proximity and excellent transit with a dense restaurant and hotel district. Visit at multiple times to confirm fit.
Closing timelines are co-op-standard. Plan for board application and approval, and a longer timeline than a comparable condominium purchase.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the period architecture and the NoMad location. The building's structural selling points are genuine early-prewar character — a 1906 Snelling & Potter apartment house — paired with a now-central NoMad address. Apartment-specific marketing should foreground the home's period detail, exposure, light, and renovation condition.
Price on apartment-level comparables. Triangulate recent comparable co-op sales in the building and across the NoMad prewar market on a price-per-room basis.
Prepare the buyer for board review. Cooperative purchase requires board application and approval; a well-prepared package and a financially qualified buyer are central to a clean 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.
