This 17-story, beige-brick apartment building at 1478 Third Avenue was erected as a rental in 1982 and was converted to residential condominiums in 2006.

The mid-block building, which is known now as The New Yorker, is between 83rd and 84th Streets.

It has 34 apartments.

It was erected in 1982 by Superior Condominium Ltd., which opened it as a rental when market conditions changed.

The building is set back in a plaza and has discrete air-conditioners and no sidewalk landscaping and no garage.

1474 Third Partners L.P., which has its principal place of business c/o RAL Development Services, 86 Chambers Street in Manhattan, was the sponsor of the condominium conversion.
