The 52-story building was the first building erected under the city's Special Fifth Avenue Zoning District regulations that were enacted in 1971." Read Carter's Full Review

Broker & Buyer Comments

"Exercise room, Cable TV ready, Package room. Spectacular Central Park and City Views"

"Looby has been fully renovated. Laundry Area has brand new appliances"

"Each unit required to change the HVAC system in apartment prior to selling. Costs about $10K Board package is very extensive, much like an upper east-sde co-op. Central location on Fifth, St. Patrick's cathedral is practically next door. Entrance to building is on E. 51st Street."
