930 Park Avenue is among the architecturally most consequential pre-WWI cooperatives on Park Avenue and one of Schwartz & Gross's earlier Carnegie Hill commissions. Completed in 1916, the 13-story building places Schwartz & Gross at the pre-WWI phase of their broader Park Avenue body of work — substantially preceding the firm's mid-1920s commissions at 888 Park (1925–26), 910 Park (1924), and the broader Park Avenue tradition that the firm would help to define across the corridor.
The architectural register is Italian Renaissance palazzo — executed in Roman brick, terra-cotta, limestone, and granite, with pilasters, string courses, and a distinctive green cornice articulating the building's façade. The elegantly detailed masonry composition places 930 Park among the more architecturally refined pre-WWI Park Avenue commissions; the architectural detailing specifications are consistent with Schwartz & Gross's broader Italian Renaissance vocabulary as it evolved across the firm's two-decade Park Avenue body of work.
The cooperative-conversion history is structurally notable. A 1923 New York Times report documented the formation of a "co-operative syndicate" that had purchased the building — an early instance of cooperative ownership formation on Park Avenue. Full cooperative conversion was completed in 1946, placing 930 Park among the earlier Park Avenue cooperative conversions of the post-war era. The 29-apartment scale — typically two per landing across the building's 13 stories — produces a mid-size cooperative configuration meaningfully smaller than the broader Park Avenue cooperative tier.
Documented historical residency includes Juan T. Trippe, president of Pan American Airways, who leased a nine-room apartment in 1931 (per New York Times coverage of the period).
Architecture and unit composition
The 29 cooperative apartments distribute across the building's 13 stories at approximately two apartments per landing. Apartment layouts carry the architectural fabric characteristic of Schwartz & Gross's pre-WWI design — substantial ceiling heights, formal entry galleries, library-living combinations, and the staff-wing infrastructure characteristic of 1916-vintage Park Avenue construction.
Recent transactions documented through public records include Unit 8S, which closed in April 2024 at $5,700,000. Building average pricing has run in the substantial pre-war Park Avenue cooperative tier.
Building operations
930 Park operates as a full-service cooperative with full-time doorman, live-in superintendent, fitness center, and bike room. The cooperative policy framework — 50 percent maximum financing, 2 percent buyer-paid flip tax, pet-friendly, pied-à-terre permitted — supports a structurally specific buyer pool calibrated to the pre-WWI Park Avenue cooperative tradition.

Facade safety — Local Law 11
The latest available FISP filing classified the facade as Safe — no repairs were required at that inspection. Facade inspections run on a fixed five-year cycle; future inspection, repair, and any assessment decisions remain building-specific.

What to know if you’re buying
The Schwartz & Gross architectural pedigree is real and substantial. Among the firm's earlier Park Avenue commissions; the Italian Renaissance palazzo register is consistent with the firm's broader Park Avenue body of work.
The 1916 vintage represents the pre-WWI Park Avenue building cycle. Preceding the firm's mid-1920s Park Avenue commissions at 888 and 910 Park; the architectural composition reflects the firm's earlier-career work.
The Park Avenue Historic District designation applies. LP-2547, designated April 29, 2014.
The cooperative policy framework is structurally permissive. 50 percent maximum financing, 2 percent flip tax, pet-friendly, pied-à-terre permitted — together produce a more accessible cooperative framework than many peer pre-war Park Avenue trophy buildings.
The 29-unit two-per-landing scale produces a specific cooperative culture. Mid-size by Park Avenue standards; the institutional culture is calibrated correspondingly.
Verify operational specifics during due diligence. Specific board approval framework, sublet duration limits, current capital project pipeline, and the LL11 façade cycle on the 1916 vintage should be reviewed.
Closing timelines are cooperative-standard. Plan for 6–10 weeks from contract through board approval to closing.
What to know if you’re selling
Marketing should emphasize the Schwartz & Gross architectural credential and the pre-WWI vintage positioning. Both are structural identity features.
The Italian Renaissance palazzo architectural register supports premium pricing positioning. A real architectural-pedigree marketing argument.
Pricing should reference recent comparable closings. The $5,700,000 April 2024 closing on Unit 8S provides recent reference; apartment-line-specific comparables should anchor positioning.
Closing timelines are cooperative-standard.
