The headline: six of the nine apartments will be delivered vacant on September 1, and every unit in the building is free-market. An investor can start renovating the majority of the residential portion on day one, with no buyouts to negotiate and no regulated leases to work around. The value-add math is straightforward. Each apartment is a three-bedroom, one-bath layout. Add a second bathroom, in-unit laundry, and updated finishes, and these units rent at a different number. The two commercial tenants keep paying while the work happens, so the building produces income through the entire reposition. The location does the rest: two short blocks to Central Park, roughly ten blocks to Columbia University, with the 1, B, and C trains nearby and the restaurants of Columbus and Amsterdam at the doorstep. Most value-add deals make you wait years for the vacancy. This one hands it to you at closing. ## Property Details - **Property Type**: Multi Family - **Beds**: 20 - **Baths**: 11 - **Rooms**: 40 - **Sqft**: 7,750 sqft - **Stories**: 5 - **Year Built**: 1900 - **Price per Sqft**: $710 - **Monthly Taxes**: $9,816 / mo - **Listed On**: Jul 28, 2026 - **Days on Market**: 44 Days ### Residence Features - See Remarks - Private Outdoor Space Over 60 Sqft ## Sales Evidence ### How this price compares The median closed price for comparable house sales in Upper West Side is $5,797,500, based on 60 sales between December 2021 and August 2026. This home is asking $5,500,000, $297,500 below that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $4,550,000 and $6,825,000. - **Median closed price**: $5,797,500 - **Middle half**: $4,550,000 – $6,825,000 - **Based on**: 60 house sales in Upper West Side - **Period**: December 2021 – August 2026 - **Median $/ft²**: $1,053/ft² Across the 57 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 89.4% of what it originally asked. 88% of them closed below the original ask. A house is not part of a building of comparable apartments, so this benchmark is drawn from house sales across Upper West Side. Apartment sales are excluded from it entirely. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Sold vs original ask**: 89.4% of the original ask - **Closed below ask**: 88% of 57 sales - **Listed → in contract**: 124 days (about 18 weeks) - **In contract → closed**: 63 days (about 9 weeks) Across the 57 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 89.4% of what it originally asked. 88% of them closed below the original ask. Half of these homes were in contract within 124 days (about 18 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 56 with a recorded listing date. Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 63 days (about 9 weeks), based on the 57 with both dates recorded. These are two separate periods measured on different clocks — time to find a buyer, and time from agreed deal to closing. They are medians of different sets of sales and do not add together into a single "days on market" figure. Based on 60 house sales in Upper West Side, December 2021 – August 2026. Each figure counts only the sales that recorded the dates it needs, which is why the denominators differ. Sale prices are the consideration recorded with the City in ACRIS, and each sale is dated by the day the City recorded it. A closing date reported to the MLS typically falls one to two weeks earlier. Recorded sales describe what has already happened and are not an appraisal, a valuation, or an estimate of what this home will sell for.

We calculated the tax for those years using the prior year’s rate, so treat them as an estimate rather than a figure the City has adopted. Every rate without the Estimated marker is the published one. Tax Assessment is the assessed value on the City’s roll, and it is the figure other listing sites publish. It is not what the bill is calculated on. New York phases assessment changes in gradually for some tax classes, so the City bills the Billable Value shown beside it, less any exemption the owner holds. It usually trails the assessment, and it can sit above it for a few years after an assessment falls. Figures are the New York City Department of Finance assessment roll for tax lot 1018420064. Assessed and billable values are determined by the City for tax purposes and are not an appraisal or an estimate of market value. Tax classes and rates are set annually and can change.
