About the building
34-42 80th Street belongs to Elm Court, an eight-building garden-apartment development designed by George H. Wells and built in 1921–22. The four-story neo-Georgian buildings face 79th and 80th Streets around a long interior garden. This address contains eight residences and is individually managed within the larger garden setting.
Two apartments occupy each floor, with an elevator opening near the entrance foyers. The homes include formal dining rooms, windowed kitchens and rooms facing the interior garden. Nine-foot ceilings, parquet floors and wood-burning fireplaces survive in selected apartments. Shared laundry and storage are in the building, while the garden and patio provide outdoor space within the block.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 4-01266-0026). 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.

What to know if you’re buying
The garden complex and cooperative are different scales of ownership. This entrance is an individually managed eight-residence building within a larger shared landscape. Its elevator and building repairs involve a small ownership group; garden obligations extend beyond the front door. Subletting is not permitted, and a minimum 25% down payment is required — confirm 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.
