A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 46 West 95th 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.
46 West 95th Street is a Carrère & Hastings apartment house on a park block — a pedigree that is rare at this size. The firm designed the New York Public Library's building on Fifth Avenue; by 1922 John Carrère had been dead eleven years and the practice was continuing under Thomas Hastings. This is a late work of that office: a nine-story neo-Georgian building in brick and stone, half a block from Central Park.
The building's structure deserves as much attention as its architecture. It converted under a non-eviction plan in 1987, which means tenants who did not buy could stay as renters, and many of the apartments were rent-controlled or rent-stabilized at the time. The unsold shares have been held for decades since. As of 2017 an LLC holding unsold shares owned 11 of the 37 apartments and about 29.7% of the shares, renting most of them out, and held one of seven board seats, per the plan amendment on file. That block has been selling down: ACRIS shows it selling apartments in 2004, 2006, 2018, 2020 and 2022, including four of the 11 held in 2017. If nothing else has sold, the holder still has seven apartments and roughly a fifth of the shares. That is the first number to confirm, because lenders test for it.
In all, ACRIS shows share transfers across 18 distinct apartment designations since 2004, and apart from the holder's own sales every one is between unrelated individuals. Ownership outside that block is spread across individual shareholders, though ACRIS does not show whether they live in their apartments or rent them; the holder's block remains a significant rental component.
Architecture and unit composition
LPC's record describes a neo-Georgian façade of brick and stone, nine stories with basement; its 1990 survey recorded eight-over-eight and paired eight-over-eight double-hung wood windows. The offering plan's Schedule A lays the building out on four lines, A through D, on the first through ninth floors, and the plan identifies a ground-floor professional apartment. Two penthouse apartments, PHF and PHR in ACRIS, sit above. At conversion the plan allocated roughly 460 to 515 shares per apartment, rising with floor, which points to apartments of broadly similar size across the lines.
Combinations have changed the count at the top and bottom of the building. DOB records a 2007 combination of a ninth-floor apartment with the duplex penthouse and roof, and ACRIS carries a combined 2D/3D. Read any comparable against a floor plan rather than a line letter.
Building operations
Staffing and services. The audited 2014–2016 statements record superintendent coverage, no doorman or porter payroll, and laundry income plus sublet, storage and other fees. These historical accounts do not establish current staffing costs or financial adequacy; obtain the current budget and statements.
Capital work on record. DOB filings show façade repair in 2002 and a façade restoration in 2006, a lobby renovation in 2009, and a conversion of the boiler to dual gas and oil firing in 2013–14. A rear-yard project — a new retaining wall, storm drainage and concrete paving — ran from 2014 through 2017 and was paid from reserves, per the plan amendment. As a landmarked building, any future façade cycle carries LPC review on top of Local Law 11.
Reserves. The reserve fund stood a little under $300,000 at the August 2015 year-end, after funding part of the yard project. Ask for the current balance.
The underlying mortgage. In December 2013 the corporation refinanced into a $2.8 million first mortgage at 4.125%, ten-year term on a thirty-year amortization, maturing January 1, 2024, with a $500,000 revolving line, per the audited statements on file. ACRIS shows that loan consolidated into a $3.05 million mortgage with a commercial bank in December 2020, including about $628,000 of new money. The rate and maturity of the 2020 loan are not in the documents on file. Ask for them, and ask what the new money funded.
Maintenance. Maintenance was about $2.66 per share per month as of July 2017, per the plan amendment on file. The board has also levied an annual operating assessment roughly equal to the co-op/condo tax abatement, so the abatement funds the building rather than reducing shareholders' monthly charges. Ask for the current rate and whether that practice continues.
Policy framework
Board package and interview. A purchaser buys shares and a proprietary lease, subject to board approval after a full package and an interview. Budget four to eight weeks from a signed contract to a board decision.
Subletting. The corporation records sublet fee income, so subletting happens here under some policy. The terms are not in the documents on file.
Financing, liquidity, pied-à-terre, trusts and the flip tax. Not documented in the materials on file. Get the financing ceiling, post-closing liquidity expectation, flip tax, pied-à-terre position and trust or LLC policy from the managing agent, in writing, before the offer.
Unsold shares. Offering plans commonly exempt purchases of unsold shares from board approval; confirm whether this plan does, and how the board treats those sales. Separately, the holder's percentage of the building affects which lenders will finance a purchase.
J-51 and carrying costs
DOF's historical J-51 records show a grant beginning in 2006 on about $184,000 of qualifying work and a second beginning in 2008 on about $15,000, both fourteen-year abatements at 90% of certified cost. DOF's records show the larger one exhausted in fiscal 2017 and the smaller one around fiscal 2019. DOF's current abatement detail still lists the smaller case with a benefit window to March 2029, but its remaining pool is zero. The J-51 is used up and there is no burn-off ahead. At its peak the credit was about $16,500 a year against a tax bill above $200,000, so its end did not reshape the budget.

The latest available filing classified the facade as SWARMP — Safe With A Repair and Maintenance Program: the inspector (QEWI) identified conditions requiring monitoring or repair, with repairs due by the deadline stated in the filing. The scope, timeline, and how the building funds the work are building-specific — we review the filings and board materials for you.
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.

What to know if you’re buying
Get the unsold-share count first. It was 11 apartments in 2017 and appears to be lower now. Your lender will ask, and the answer can narrow your financing options.
Get the 2020 mortgage terms. The corporation took on new money in December 2020. Find out the rate, the maturity, and what it paid for.
Price in landmark status. Window and façade work need LPC approval.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the architect. A Carrère & Hastings building half a block from Central Park is a concrete selling point. Cite the LPC record.
Have the structural answers ready. The current unsold-share count, the 2020 refinancing terms and the reserve balance are what a buyer's attorney will ask for. Having them in the package keeps the board timeline intact.

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.
