305 West 86 Street was built in 1926 — roughly 100 years old. This is a co-op building with 49 apartments — residents own shares in the corporation that owns the building, rather than their apartments outright. Apartments average about 1,326 sq ft (building area divided by apartment count — individual units vary). 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. The corporation pays one building-wide tax bill — about $850,171 per year — passed to residents through monthly maintenance in proportion to each apartment’s share allocation. A straight average works out to roughly $17,350 per apartment per year, though larger apartments carry more shares (and many primary residents get the co-op/condo abatement on top). The most recent recorded sale in the building was unit 5B, for $1,470,000 in Jun 2026.
City landmark records describe it as a Renaissance Revival apartment building dating to 1925 - 1926, originally used as residential, multi-family. It was designed by Deutsch & Schneider for 305 West 86th Street Holding Corporation. It stands within the Riverside-West End Historic District Extension I.
The building already exceeds what current residential zoning would allow (10.63 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. This lot is associated with a co-op; individual apartments are owned as shares and taxed through the building.
