A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 516 East 82nd 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.
516 East 82nd Street is a five-story Yorkville cooperative with 15 residences, primarily compact apartments with prewar details. The building dates to 1920. Its garden duplex adds a larger, multi-level home with private outdoor space to an inventory otherwise centered on one-bedroom layouts.
The address lies east of York Avenue, close to Carl Schurz Park and the East River promenade. The cooperative corporation also encompasses the adjoining 514 address; the 15-residence count here describes 516 alone.
Architecture and unit composition
Apartments include straightforward one-bedroom plans and split-level arrangements. Ceiling heights can reach approximately 10 to 12 feet, and decorative fireplaces, exposed brick and wood floors remain in several interiors. Some plans have windowed kitchens and multiple exposures, while rear-facing rooms overlook garden space.
The garden duplex combines the main apartment with lower-level recreation space and a private fenced yard. The downstairs area has been described differently over its marketing history; its approved use must govern how it is presented. A room advertised as recreation space cannot be assumed to be a legal bedroom.
Upper apartments are reached by stairs. Compact homes of approximately 550 to 600 square feet make up part of the inventory, alongside larger layouts. Renovations have changed room divisions and storage within individual apartments, so the building does not have one uniform one-bedroom plan.
Building operations
Laundry facilities and bicycle storage serve the cooperative, with a part-time superintendent and intercom entry. The operating structure includes the adjoining address under the same corporation, which matters when evaluating building-wide expenses or the number of shareholders contributing to a project.
Sponsor-owned apartments have continued to enter the market after the initial conversion. A sponsor sale's purchase procedure may differ from a shareholder resale; a board-approval exemption attached to a sponsor transaction doesn't carry over to other apartments.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-01578-0042) and verified listing data. Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified by The Roebling Team research desk. 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.

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.
