The Fifth Avenue, 1330 Fifth Avenue: Review and Ratings

Review of 1330 Fifth Avenue by Carter Horsley

This handsome condominium complex of two red-brick, six-story buildings straddling Fifth Avenue at 111th and 112th streets was erected in 1989. The rent-stabilized buildings were converted in 2017 to condos in a non-eviction process by Tahl Propp Equities, which is headed by Rodney M. Propp, chairman, and Joseph A. Tahl, president.

The building at 1325 Fifth has 71 units and the one at 1330 has 80. Mojo Stumer Associates was the interior decorator for the conversion.

The buildings are one block north of the great twin, 35-story towers of the Arthur A. Schomburg Plaza complex designed by Gruzen & Partners and Castro-Bianco, Pisconeri & Feder in 1979 at Duke Ellington Circle at 110th Street and Fifth Avenue.

There is good public transportation and this complex is also near the attractive Harlem Meer at the northeast corner of Central Park.
