A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at The Dorian 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.
The Dorian is a six-story Forest Hills cooperative completed in 1948, with 53 residences and a broad range of apartment sizes. Its interiors retain features associated with the transition from prewar planning to postwar construction: entry foyers, separate dining areas and, in some homes, sunken living rooms. The attached garage and resident superintendent are practical parts of the building's appeal.
The inventory extends from studios to substantial multi-bedroom apartments, including combined homes. That spread is unusually consequential in a building of this size. A buyer looking for a compact first residence and an owner seeking more rooms may both find suitable layouts within the same cooperative, but the dimensions and room arrangements vary substantially.
The 110th Street address places the building close to Queens Boulevard and the commercial center around Austin Street. Its six-floor scale keeps the apartments within a conventional elevator apartment house, with residential entrances and garage access serving the same property.
Architecture and unit composition
The Dorian's original layouts give space to arrival and circulation. Foyers separate the entrance from the main room, and larger plans have a dining alcove or defined dining area beside the living room. Sunken living rooms introduce a step within the apartment, a feature worth accounting for when assessing the route between kitchen, entrance and seating area.
One-bedroom and junior-four configurations occupy the middle of the inventory. A junior-four dining alcove can provide a separate work or dining zone; its suitability for any additional enclosed bedroom depends on the actual plan and legal requirements. Larger homes include two- and three-bedroom arrangements, and combined apartments extend beyond the original single-apartment footprints.
Documented apartment sizes range from compact studios to homes exceeding 1,700 square feet. Some of that larger area comes from combinations. The resulting inventory is not evenly distributed by size, and a large combined residence can contain circulation or room proportions that differ from an original multi-bedroom plan.
Separate kitchens, substantial closet space and hardwood floors recur in the interiors. Renovations range from retained mid-century arrangements to opened kitchens and extensively rebuilt rooms. A floor plan showing the location of the kitchen, bathroom and original entrance is especially useful for understanding how far a renovation has altered the underlying layout.
Building operations
The cooperative has a live-in superintendent and shared laundry facilities. Its attached garage adds a separate service to the residential operation; spaces are subject to availability. A garage in the building does not mean a space transfers with every apartment.
The Class 2 tax treatment means assessed-value growth does not receive the small-building annual cap. The zoning record also shows existing built floor area above the current district's standard residential allowance. The existing six-story form, garage and internal common spaces are the relevant operating property; the zoning comparison is not evidence of an approved expansion.
Policy framework
Subletting: Permitted — confirm the waiting period, duration limits and approval requirements with the managing agent.

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.

Market read. Most recent trades (2026 to date) cleared a median $522/sf (floor-adjusted) across 4 sales. Floor-adjusted means each sale is restated to a constant mix of floors, so the figure can differ from the plain median of the sales listed above. Median listing discount 3.4% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy.

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.
