588 West End Avenue: Review and Ratings
between West 88th Street & West 89th Street View Full Building Profile
This sprightly, dark-brown brick apartment building was erected in 1910 and converted to a cooperative in 1979.
The 15-story, midblock building has 63 apartments.
Although the center portion of the façade is plain, the building has nice accents. It has a decorative balcony on the second floor from the top of the building whose center portion is raised slightly above the ends. The lower and top two floors have handsome terracotta window surrounds topped with pediments.
The building has a canopied entrance and a doorman, but no concierge. It has protruding air-conditioners and inconsistent fenestration.
It is one block to the east from Riverside Park and one block to the west of convenient neighborhood shopping on Broadway. It is also very convenient to excellent crosstown bus service on 86th Street and not far from a local subway station at 86th Street and Broadway. This area has undergone significant upgrading in the 1980's and 1990's and is now one of the most desirable on the Upper West Side.
