The Fillmore

LPC identifies a deeply recessed main entrance court on 35th Avenue. Lightcourts divide the longer street elevations into smaller sections, with secondary entrances in those recesses. This arrangement gives the building a series of inward and outward faces, each with a different relationship to neighboring windows and the street.

The exterior is distinguished by patterned red brickwork and a crenelated roofline. The courts and garden soften the transition between the large structure and the sidewalk. The masonry and the shape of the footprint remain visible architectural features independently of any apartment renovation.

One-bedroom homes can have substantial living rooms and separate eat-in kitchens. Two-bedroom plans include layouts with distinct halls for the bedroom area and for the living and kitchen spaces. That separation can keep circulation to the bedrooms away from the main sitting area.

Some owners have opened the kitchen-side hall into a larger living and dining space. Others retain a more enclosed kitchen and a traditional foyer. These altered and unaltered arrangements can occupy similar footprints but provide different amounts of wall space, room separation and storage.

High ceilings, oak or inlaid wood floors, large windows and windowed bathrooms recur in the inventory. Walk-in closets occur in some plans. A broad entry gallery can provide a place for storage or furniture, but its area should be distinguished from the usable dimensions of the principal rooms when comparing homes.

Garden-facing apartments have an immediate relationship to planting and the interior court. Other rooms look toward the side streets or over adjacent roofs. Multiple exposures are possible within a single home, so an apartment can contain both an open street view and a closer courtyard outlook.

The Fillmore has a resident superintendent, with elevators serving the residential floors. Shared laundry and package facilities support routine needs. Bicycle storage and additional storage are available within the building, with storage allocation subject to availability.

A music practice room with a piano is a distinctive common facility. It provides a designated space for an activity that can be difficult to accommodate inside an apartment. Its current access and scheduling arrangements belong to the cooperative's house rules.

The private garden includes seating and planted areas, with a pergola described among its features. It is shared space, so a window overlooking it does not convey exclusive use of the ground outside. A ground-floor apartment's relationship to that garden also differs from the outlook of a higher-floor home.

Historic-district designation places the exterior within LPC's review framework. Work involving the brickwork, visible windows and courts can therefore involve preservation approvals as well as the cooperative's own consent. This matters to a property whose architectural character depends heavily on repeated masonry details and the form of its entrances.

The tax lot is class 2, with no building-level abatement identified. Its current floor area exceeds the residential FAR shown for the zoning district. That density figure describes the existing building; it does not resolve the scope of any proposed apartment alteration or common-area project.

Market read. Most recent trades (2026 to date) cleared a median $591/sf (floor-adjusted) across 1 sale. 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 3.1% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 4-01457-0001). Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified in The Roebling Research Library. 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.
