27 West 72 Street was built in 1925 — roughly 101 years old. This is a condominium of 163 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 neo-Renaissance hotel dating to 1924 - 1925, originally used as commercial, hotel. It was designed by George F. Pelham for 27 West 72nd Street Corporation. It stands within the Upper West Side / Central Park West Historic District.
The building already exceeds what current residential zoning would allow (11.55 built FAR vs. a residential maximum of 10.00) — typically a grandfathered or overbuilt structure that could not be rebuilt to this size under today’s rules. With 163 units in a building of this age, some apartments are likely rent-stabilized — worth verifying with DHCR before purchase.
