Review of 240 East 55th Street by Carter Horsley

This pleasant, 14-story, white-brick, mid-block building was erected in 1959. It is a cooperative and has 99 apartments with a part-time doorman, common laundry, bike storage, and a live-in super. Washer/dryers are allowed with board approval. The building allows cats (sorry, no dogs), subletting after one year of ownership, and pied-a-terres, guarantors, go-purchasing, gifts, and guarantors, all on a case-by-case basis.

The building has some angled terraces, spiked sidewalk landscaping, a part-time doorman, discrete air-conditioners, large windows, but no garage, no roof deck, no balconies and no health club.

It is down the street from P. J. Clarke's, the famous Third Avenue saloon. This location is very convenient to east midtown and there is a subway station nearby in Citicorp Center on Lexington Avenue and 53rd Street and good cross-town bus service on 57th Street.
