Property Details

This pre-war walk-up building has 6 floors with approximately 4 apartments per floor. Apartment 5A has a renovated kitchen with spacious cabinet space, a renovated bathroom and a closet in both bedrooms. The building is convenient to all the Upper East Side has to offer, including Central Park, Museum Mile, all transportation, excellent shopping, gourmet dining, and exciting nightlife.

Incentives

We have 2 working AC window units (1 in main bedroom, 1 in living room) and a West Elm sleeper sofa plus other furniture items we're more than happy to leave behind for the incoming tenant. Can provide further information.

Additional fees

The management company (Brodsky) requires a qualified tenant to take over the lease "as is" to finish the remainder of the lease (through October 31, 2026). The incoming tenant must make 40x the rent and have credit over 600 - we can provide a Procedure document with more information. If the above apply, the Brodsky leasing team will send an application. This would need to get the landlord's approval and the company's legal counsel would draw up an assignment contract. The process could potentially take up to 30 days from date of request.
