253 West 73 Street was built in 1927 — roughly 99 years old. This is a condominium of 160 units — each unit is its own tax lot with its own bill. Search with a unit number for unit-level figures. For property-tax purposes it falls under Class 2 (residential buildings with four or more units, condos and co-ops), taxed at 12.439% of a taxable value based on 45% of the city’s income-derived market value.
City landmark records describe it as a Romanesque Revival with alterations club building dating to 1925 - 1927, originally used as institutional, private club. It was designed by Clinton & Russell and Wells, Holton & George for Level Club, Inc.. It stands within the West End-Collegiate Historic District Extension.
The building already exceeds what current residential zoning would allow (10.38 built FAR vs. a residential maximum of 4.00) — typically a grandfathered or overbuilt structure that could not be rebuilt to this size under today’s rules. With 160 units in a building of this age, some apartments are likely rent-stabilized — worth verifying with DHCR before purchase.
