A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 334 West 87th 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.
334 West 87th Street is a nine-story cooperative designed by Gronenberg & Leuchtag and built in 1926–27. Its neo-Romanesque entrance and decorated upper story distinguish the brick facade. The building replaced three rowhouses on a sixty-foot-wide site near Riverside Drive.
The cooperative has 38 residences, with smaller apartments and larger multi-bedroom homes appearing in its resale history. It occupies the south side of the block between West End Avenue and Riverside Drive. The location brings Riverside Park close to the front door while retaining a side-street entrance.
The housing inventory includes recurring compact plans, larger apartments around 1,100 square feet and more substantial upper-level homes. That variety gives buyers several entry points within one association. Turnover has remained intermittent, with only one recorded sale in each of the latest two years.
Architecture and unit composition
The brown-and-tan brick facade uses stone and terra-cotta trim. An arched central entrance has carved columns and decorative metalwork, while the ninth story carries arched window surrounds and small balustraded balconies. Interior courts open to the east and west within a dumbbell-shaped plan.
Those courts are part of the building's original approach to light and ventilation. They also distinguish interior exposures from windows facing West 87th Street. An apartment's line therefore matters alongside its floor when assessing the outlook from living rooms and bedrooms.
The recurring smaller homes have recorded areas around 730 to 850 square feet, with other apartments around 1,000 to 1,100 square feet. Larger homes have also traded at approximately 1,500 square feet. A two-bedroom, two-bath penthouse adds another layout category at the top of the building.
The cooperative's apartment sizes do not follow a single progression by floor. Compact homes recur through the middle and upper levels, and larger lower-floor apartments have also sold. A buyer moving between layouts should compare actual room dimensions and bath counts before treating two homes on nearby floors as equivalent.
Building operations
Shared facilities include the elevator, bicycle room, laundry and storage. The property is taxed as a single Class 2 cooperative lot, and the corporation's real estate taxes form part of its expenses. DOF identifies no building-wide abatement.
Historic-district protection applies to the building's exterior. Its carved entrance, brickwork and upper-story terra cotta are part of the protected architectural fabric. Exterior alterations require the applicable LPC approvals, including work associated with apartment windows or exposed mechanical equipment.
The recorded building floor area exceeds the current R8 residential allowance. Existing apartments occupy that established envelope; the floor-area figure does not describe unused expansion capacity. The combination of a developed site and a designated facade makes exterior enlargement a separate question from renovation inside an existing apartment.

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.

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.
