A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 580 West End Avenue 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.
580 West End Avenue is a connoisseur's pre-war building: a 1928 Emery Roth co-op of 17 reported residences, with floor allocations to confirm, on the northeast corner of West End Avenue and West 88th Street. Roth also designed the San Remo, the Beresford and the Eldorado; assess 580 West End’s architecture and historic-district status on their documented features. Erected for the Morwitt Realty Corporation, it carries the distinguishing flourish of a magnificent oversized wrought-iron and glass entrance marquee, an immediately recognizable signature on the streetscape.
Confirm the building's apartment configuration. The counts of 17 apartments and 15 stories do not establish how many homes occupy full floors — with actual privacy, light and proportions to assess from the specific plan and surroundings. Every residence has a wood-burning fireplace. Review actual apartment dimensions and allocations rather than infer them from the small reported unit count.
Architecture and unit composition
Roth's design is restrained where it counts and emphatic where it matters: a beige-brick masonry tower that reads as quietly dignified, lifted by the drama of its wrought-iron-and-glass marquee and the careful detailing of a master of the form. The building has fifteen stories and 17 reported apartments; confirm each home's floor allocation and windows before describing full-floor living or multiple exposures from the West End and 88th corner.
The residences are large, gracious, and intact in their pre-war bones: high ceilings, generous room counts, defined entry galleries, and wood-burning fireplaces in every home. Confirm each apartment’s floor allocation, access, privacy and original details from its plans and inspection; the building’s Roth attribution and historic-district setting do not establish full-floor layouts.
Building operations
580 West End operates as an intimate, white-glove-adjacent co-op rather than a large staffed tower — appropriate to a 17-unit building. Common amenities are streamlined: an elevator and a central laundry room, with day-to-day care from a resident superintendent. The cooperative is pet-friendly, permits financing up to 80%, and allows subletting with board approval, giving owners more flexibility than the most restrictive pre-war houses. As a designated building within a historic district, exterior alterations proceed through Landmarks Preservation Commission review, a preservation process that does not guarantee long-term value retention.

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
This is a top-tier pre-war co-op purchase: a thorough board package and interview; confirm current occupancy and subletting requirements in the governing documents. The reward is exceptional — a home in a designated Emery Roth building, with its floor allocation, fireplace and exposures to confirm. Pets are permitted, financing is permitted to 75% of the purchase price, and subletting is permitted with conditions. Underwrite the apartment on its proportions, light, and renovation scope, and review actual listings and dated transfers before setting expectations for availability or competition.
What to know if you’re selling
Few West End addresses sell themselves the way this one does: an Emery Roth building, an apartment with its floor allocation documented, a wood-burning fireplace, and the permanence of a historic-district designation. Lead with provenance and configuration — the architect, the actual landing configuration, the corner exposures — and compare relevant West End and Riverside prewar homes, adjusting for actual floor allocation, landing arrangement and apartment features. Establish actual turnover and competing inventory from dated sales and current listings; neither limited competition nor a predictable buyer response follows from unit count.

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.
