A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at The Goldstone 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.
876 Park Avenue — often called the Goldstone, after its architect — is the kind of small, serious Park Avenue cooperative that the avenue's reputation is built on. Completed in 1917 to designs by W. L. Rouse and L. A. Goldstone, the same office whose work shaped a generation of Manhattan's best apartment houses, it holds the corner of East 78th Street with a red-brick-and-limestone dignity and a signature flourish: curved wrought-iron balconies that give the façade its character. At just 24 residences over thirteen stories, it is a genuinely intimate building.
The number that matters most is two: there are only two apartments per floor. That layout — a private landing shared with a single neighbor, light from multiple exposures, and rooms scaled to a vanished era — is the reason buyers seek out pre-war Park Avenue co-ops, and 876 delivers it in a building small enough that the resident manager knows every shareholder. It is the antithesis of the high-density tower: a quiet house with the staffing of a much larger building and the privacy of a townhouse.
The building converted from rental to cooperative ownership in 1947, among the earlier wave of Park Avenue conversions, and it has operated as a co-op ever since; review recent engineering reports, the current budget and audited statements for its present condition. For a buyer who wants a classic Park Avenue address without the scale of a 100-unit building, the Goldstone is a precise fit.
Architecture and unit composition
Rouse & Goldstone gave 876 Park the restrained, masonry-first vocabulary of the Park Avenue pre-war: a limestone base under a long red-brick shaft, a canopied entrance, and the curved wrought-iron balconies and flowerboxes that distinguish it from its plainer neighbors. It is architecture meant to read as permanent and well-bred rather than ostentatious — exactly the register the avenue prizes.
Inside, the two-per-floor plan yields large, light-filled apartments with the pre-war details collectors look for: wood-burning fireplaces, generous room proportions, real foyers, and high ceilings. With 24 homes across thirteen floors, the building is composed almost entirely of substantial classic layouts; the count does not establish turnover or holding periods, which require dated transfer records. The combination of corner light, wood-burning fireplaces, and full-floor-feeling proportions is the building's enduring draw.
Building operations
876 Park Avenue is a full-service cooperative. The lobby is attended around the clock by a doorman, and a resident manager oversees the building day to day. For a 24-unit building, the amenity package is notably complete: a fitness center, central laundry, a bicycle room, and an individual storage cage for each apartment — the kind of per-unit storage allotment that larger buildings rarely match.
The building is pet-friendly. As with Park Avenue cooperatives generally, purchases are subject to a board application and interview, and financing is capped at 30% of the purchase price. Buyers should confirm the building's current liquidity, occupancy and sublet requirements from its governing documents and application instructions as part of diligence.

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 buy-and-hold building. The appeal is the two-per-floor privacy, the wood-burning fireplaces and pre-war proportions, and a complete amenity package — including a per-apartment storage cage and a fitness center — in a building of only 24 homes. Pets are welcome, which broadens the building's appeal relative to stricter Park Avenue peers.
Practical diligence: expect a thorough co-op board package and interview, and confirm the building's current financing limit (documented at 30% of the purchase price) and sublet rules with us before bidding. Review the maintenance charge, any assessments, and the reserve fund, and weigh the building's capital obligations — façade and elevator work under New York's inspection cycles — against its reserves. In a 24-unit building, the financial condition rests on few apartments; review the current budget, audited statements, debt and any assessments.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the documented apartment features. Describe Rouse & Goldstone’s architecture, the private-landing plan, wood-burning fireplaces, corner light, storage and fitness amenities. Verify current availability and specific competing homes; the twenty-four-apartment count does not establish scarcity or features unavailable elsewhere.
Price against the Lenox Hill and Park Avenue pre-war co-op set, with weight given to the rarity of the line and the apartment's condition. Account for the customary co-op transfer costs in your net-proceeds modeling, and invest in presentation: in a building where each sale sets the benchmark for the next, a thoughtfully staged apartment that showcases the proportions and the fireplaces materially affects both price and speed.

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.
