A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 70 East 93rd 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.
Max Hensel designed 70 East 93rd Street as part of a row of brownstone-fronted flats erected in 1890 for carpenter and developer Nicholas J. Reville. The 21-foot-wide building was designed for multiple households from the start. Its Renaissance Revival façade retains the proportions of that original apartment-house commission.
A 1958 alteration subdivided the building into ten apartments. It now operates as a self-managed cooperative on the Madison-to-Park Avenue block of East 93rd Street, within the Expanded Carnegie Hill Historic District designated in 1993.
Architecture and unit composition
The three-bay façade has a basement behind an areaway, a low stoop and a cornice above the first story. Broad foliated spandrels separate the upper floors, and the window openings have deep molded surrounds. A front fire escape dates from the building's period of subdivision.
The residential inventory includes one-bedroom and two-bedroom layouts, with two-bedroom configurations around 800 square feet. High ceilings, wood floors and decorative fireplaces survive in some homes. Renovated plans include open kitchens, while front and rear room positions produce different exposures within the narrow building.
Lower-level homes have been expanded into duplex configurations. DOB signed off a 2018 alteration adding a cellar recreation room to one first-floor apartment. That room's approved recreation use matters when describing the duplex's bedroom count and usable accommodation.
Building operations
The building is a walk-up, with basement laundry and a virtual entry system. Some apartments also have in-unit washers and dryers. The small self-managed cooperative organizes building decisions and maintenance through its shareholders.
LPC designation governs work to the brownstone frontage and other protected exterior elements. The façade's carved detail and recessed openings are part of the building's architectural character. The front fire escape is also a physical feature to account for when planning exterior work.
The existing floor area matches the residential FAR associated with its R8B zoning. The five-story envelope and the later apartment subdivisions therefore define the building's present scale, with larger lower homes achieved through internal combinations or approved cellar connections.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-01504-0142) 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.
