About the building
4 East 82nd Street began as a private house designed and developed by Edward Kilpatrick in 1888–1889. The roughly 22-foot-wide building stands close to Fifth Avenue and was converted to apartments in 1959. Its original Queen Anne architecture has been altered over time, while the building's inclusion in the Metropolitan Museum Historic District places the exterior under preservation oversight. Nine cooperative residences now share the former house.
The apartment mix includes smaller studios and one-bedroom homes, larger full-floor layouts and lower duplex configurations. Surviving interior features include decorative woodwork, bay windows and fireplaces. Some larger homes have direct elevator access, and the garden-level inventory includes private outdoor space. The common laundry and storage facilities supplement the residential floors.

What to know if you’re buying
Nine residences share responsibility for an elevator within a converted townhouse. A substantial elevator or exterior-restoration project is spread across this small shareholder base, with individual contributions governed by the cooperative's share allocations. Exterior work also has to respect the historic-district designation, including alterations to windows and the street façade.

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.
