107 West 86th Street: Review and Ratings
between Columbus Avenue & Amsterdam Avenue View Full Building Profile
This handsome, 16-story apartment building was built in 1929 and converted to a cooperative in 1984. It has 124 apartments.
The beige-brick building has a narrow light well above the entrance that divides its frontage symmetrically. Its Italian-Renaissance-palazzo-style façade has a few decorative balconies and decorative window reveals on the second and third floors and the top two floors.
It has a small, step-up entrance with a first-story limestone base and a large, marble-lined lobby with a concierge. The building permits protruding air-conditioners and has no sidewalk landscaping, no health club and no garage. It has an exposed rooftop watertank.
Central Park is one long block away as is a subway station at Central Park West. Another subway station is two blocks away in the other direction at Broadway. There is excellent cross-town bus service.
The area has good schools and several religious institutions and one of the city's nicest strips of sidewalk caf¿s is just to the south on Columbus Avenue.
