145 West 86th Street: Review and Ratings
between Columbus Avenue & Amsterdam Avenue View Full Building Profile
This handsome, 16-story apartment building was built in 1924 and converted to a cooperative in 1980. It has 63 apartments.
The beige-brick, Italian-Renaissance-palazzo-style building has a two-story limestone base and a canopied entrance flanked by nice globe lanterns. The building has a doorman and permits protruding air-conditioners. It has no sidewalk landscaping, no garage and no health club and it appears to be missing its original cornice.
Central Park is a bit more than one long block away as is a subway station at Central Park West. Another subway station is the same distance away 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.
