A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 630 Park 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.
630 Park Avenue is one of the quietly distinguished pre-war cooperatives of Lenox Hill — a 1916 masonry building on the southwest corner of Park and East 66th Street, designed by J.E.R. Carpenter at the height of his run as the architect who, more than any other, defined the modern Park Avenue apartment house. Carpenter's name appears on a remarkable number of the avenue's best addresses, and 630 Park is a characteristic example of his early work: dignified rather than showy, scaled to large family apartments, and built with the masonry permanence that has kept these buildings desirable for more than a century.
The building rose on the site of five row houses, part of the wholesale transformation of Park Avenue from a street of private homes into the corridor of grand cooperative apartment houses it remains today. At just 34 apartments across 13 stories, 630 Park is an intimate building by Park Avenue standards — a low ratio of units to staff.
For buyers, the appeal is the combination that Park Avenue does best: a generously proportioned pre-war home with thick walls, real ceiling height, and gracious entertaining layouts, inside a small cooperative on one of the most recognizable residential streets in the world.
Architecture and unit composition
Carpenter designed 630 Park's masonry exterior and detailed it in the restrained Italian Renaissance idiom he favored for the avenue — fluted pilasters, a defined base, and a canopied entrance that reads as understated rather than ornate. The result is a building that holds its corner with quiet authority, neither competing with its neighbors nor disappearing among them.
Inside, the apartments follow the pre-war Park Avenue template: large rooms, high ceilings, formal foyers and galleries, separate entertaining and private wings, and the kind of proportion that is difficult and expensive to replicate in new construction. With 34 homes across 13 floors, the layouts skew large — the building was conceived for substantial family apartments, and many retain their original room counts. Period detail such as hardwood floors, decorative moldings, and well-proportioned windows is characteristic of the stock.
Building operations
630 Park operates as a full-service cooperative: a full-time doorman and attended lobby, a live-in resident manager, and a fitness center, with private basement storage available to shareholders. The small unit count keeps the service ratio high; review the current budget, audited statements, debt and any assessments.
On house rules, the cooperative is pet-friendly and permits financing of up to 50% of the purchase price (confirm the current limit). A flip tax of 3%, payable by the purchaser, applies on resale. Confirm the building's current financing, liquidity, occupancy and subletting requirements from its governing documents and application instructions.

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
Buying here means buying into a small, conservative pre-war cooperative, and the diligence is the diligence of any top Park Avenue co-op. Expect a thorough board package and interview, a 50% financing ceiling, and a board that prioritizes financial strength and primary residency. The 3% flip tax paid by the buyer should be modeled into your acquisition cost from the outset.
The reward is scale and location. Apartments at 630 Park are large pre-war homes on a corner that delivers excellent light, on a stretch of Lenox Hill that puts Madison Avenue's boutiques and restaurants, the Lexington Avenue 6 train at 68th Street, and Central Park all within a few blocks. We help buyers read the building's financials, prepare a board package, and judge condition and price against the avenue's comparable stock.
What to know if you’re selling
A J.E.R. Carpenter co-op address and large pre-war proportions are the marketing core here. Selling well at 630 Park means presenting the apartment's scale, light, and condition to the right primary-residence buyer and positioning it accurately against other large pre-war homes on Park and Fifth.
The small unit count means little competing inventory. Pricing should be anchored to recent large-format pre-war trades nearby and to the apartment's specific condition, with the 3% buyer-paid flip tax accounted for in the buyer's underwriting. We market these apartments to the qualified, board-ready audience the building requires.

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.
