About 473 West End Avenue
This pleasant 15-story building was erected in 1923 and converted to a cooperative in 1980. The building has 48 apartments.
The red-brick building has an Italian Renaissance palazzo-style facade with several bandcourses and some decorative window reveals, but some masonry repairs on the upper part of the facades was less than exemplary. The canopied entrance has very nice wrought-iron doors and the building has sidewalk landscaping and a concierge.
It permits protruding air-conditioners.
This neighborhood offers convenient public transportation at 86th Street and excellent shopping as well as many interesting restaurants. Riverside Park is one block away.
