333 East 74th Street — The Eastbrook, a through-block building also addressed 333 East 75th — is a full-service Lenox Hill condop with a rare no-flip-tax structure and a genuine roof deck. Structured as a co-op over an underlying condominium (a "condop"), it combines cooperative living with meaningfully more permissive use rules than a traditional co-op — and its absence of a flip tax is a frequently cited selling point that directly improves resale economics.
The building's appeal is fundamentally about condop flexibility plus full-service infrastructure at accessible pricing. A condop is governed by a co-op board but typically carries more permissive financing, subletting, and pied-à-terre rules than a classic cooperative — and The Eastbrook delivers on that, layered onto a 24-hour doorman, on-site garage, two elevators, and a furnished roof deck. For buyers who want a full-service Lenox Hill base with more latitude than a rigid co-op board allows — and no flip tax on resale — the structure is a genuine differentiator.
Its through-block position between 74th and 75th Streets gives the building light from two frontages, and its consistent renovation program — updated elevators, renovated hallways — signals an actively maintained property.
Architecture and unit composition
The Eastbrook is a 14-story postwar white-brick building of roughly 123 residences, built in 1960–1961 and converted to condop ownership in 1990. It is a through-block building running between East 74th and East 75th Streets, with a gray-brick and glass-block entrance surround and sidewalk landscaping. Hallways were fully renovated in 2020, and the elevators have been modernized.
The apartment mix is efficiency-led — studios, one-bedrooms, and two-bedrooms — with median unit sizes typical of a postwar building. Individual apartments are sold as co-op shares under the condop structure. The building carried a filming-location note (Woody Allen's Mighty Aphrodite, 1995) that adds a small piece of cultural color.
Building operations
The Eastbrook operates as a full-service condop with a 24-hour doorman, live-in resident manager, two elevators, an on-site garage (rentals available), a furnished roof deck, a central laundry room, resident storage, and a package-notification system. A gym is not confirmed and should not be assumed.
As a condop, the building offers more permissive use rules than a classic cooperative: financing up to 80% is permitted, subletting is allowed after two years of ownership, and pied-à-terre ownership, co-purchasing, and guarantors are permitted. There is no flip tax — a frequently cited advantage that improves resale economics. These terms come from building marketing summaries and should be verified against the offering plan and house rules at offer stage. As with any co-op-governed building, board approval and a board interview are required.

No flip tax is a real advantage. The absence of a flip tax improves resale economics; confirm it remains in place.
Full-service package with a roof deck and garage. Doorman, on-site garage, two elevators, and a furnished roof deck at accessible Lenox Hill pricing.
Confirm the governance details. As a condop, the exact structure and use rules should be verified against the offering plan; a board interview and approval still apply.

What to know if you’re selling
Lead with flexibility and no flip tax. The condop structure and absence of a flip tax are the building's marketing edge — make them central.
Highlight the amenity package. Roof deck, on-site garage, and two elevators differentiate The Eastbrook from bare-bones peers.
Price against the closest match. Line, floor, exposure, and renovation level drive per-room variation in an efficiency-led building.
Prepare buyers for the board. Even with condop flexibility, a clean board package and realistic guidance shorten the path to approval.
