A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at The Danielle Court 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 public record describes a prewar building. It is not one in any practical sense. PLUTO dates the lot to 1900, but between 2000 and 2004 the building that stood here, a nine-story, 29-unit rental held by the same owner since 1973, was taken down to its masonry shell and rebuilt under a DOB new-building permit. The Danielle Court is a 2003 condominium with new framing, new plumbing risers and a new boiler, per DOB filings, set inside reinforced old walls and new masonry. For a buyer, that means condominium-era systems and layouts, not prewar ones.
The question anyone should ask about a condominium lot on a prewar parcel is whether it is a condop, a co-op owning a unit inside a condominium. It is not. The declaration was recorded in May 2003, and every residential apartment since has transferred by condominium unit deed. The few ACRIS index entries tagged as co-op transfers are data-entry errors on condominium deeds.
The sponsor sold out fast. East 76th Street, LLC bought the rental in 1999 and recorded the declaration in 2003. Twenty-six of its 28 units closed within four months, and the last two in April 2004. There is no remaining sponsor block, no rental inventory held by an insider, and no sponsor control of the board. The building has been owner-governed for more than twenty years.
At 26 residences on a 68-foot lot, this is a boutique condominium in a part of Lenox Hill where the condominium stock is mostly towers of roughly 180 to 220 units built between the 1980s and 2000. It trades against those towers on price and against small co-ops on tenure. Buying here gets you condominium rules with a small-building common-charge base.
Architecture and unit composition
The eight-story building has a one-story stone base with a glass entrance door, red brick above and an exposed rooftop water tank, per architectural records. The unit schedule in the declaration runs four apartments on the first floor, five each on the second through fourth floors, four on the fifth, three on the sixth, and two penthouses. Two of the first-floor units, 1A and 1B, are professional suites, not residences.
Apartments run from one-bedrooms, the bulk of the building, to three- and four-bedroom penthouses with private terraces, fireplaces and keyed elevator access, per listing records. Many apartments have floor-to-ceiling windows, and residents share a private landscaped garden, per architectural records.
Because the 2000–2004 work was filed as a new building, the interiors are not bound by the original tenement layouts. Expect standard condominium kitchens and baths of the early 2000s, some of them now renovated, rather than the small rooms and railroad plans common on this block.
Building operations
The building is run by a condominium board of unit owners through a managing agent. As in any condominium, there is no underlying mortgage: each owner finances their own unit, and ACRIS shows no recorded debt against the billing lot.
With 28 lots sharing expenses, common charges spread over fewer owners than in the tower condominiums nearby. Budget items such as façade inspections under Local Law 11, boiler work and elevator modernization fall on a small base. Ask for the current budget, the reserve balance and any planned assessment. The building was completed in 2004, so its first major system cycles are now due.

What to know if you’re buying
Underwrite it as a 2003 building, not a prewar one. The systems date from the rebuild. Ask the managing agent about the boiler (DOB records a 2003 installation), the elevator, the roof and the most recent Local Law 11 façade cycle.
Read the declaration and by-laws. The documents on file with the managing agent govern leasing, pets and alterations. They are not in the public record. Get them early if you plan to rent the apartment out or keep a large dog.
Know what's on the ground floor. Two office condominium units share the entrance. Ask how they are used today and what the by-laws allow.
Price the small base. With 26 residences, one owner in arrears or one large repair moves the budget more than it would in a 200-unit tower. Ask about arrears and reserves.
What to know if you’re selling
Correct the record on the building's age. Buyers who see "built 1900" will expect prewar plumbing and small rooms. The DOB new-building filing shows otherwise. Put that in the listing package.
Sell the tenure. In a price band full of co-ops, condominium tenure means no board interview, flexible financing and easier leasing. That is the main reason to buy here over a co-op next door.
Have the documents ready. Current budget, reserve statement, insurance certificate and any open DOB items speed up the buyer's lender review, which matters more in a building this small.

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.
