Carter’s Review

"One of the more imposing side-street buildings in the Carnegie Hill vicinity is 12 East 97th Street between Fifth and Madison Avenues.

It has a doorman, common storage, a bicycle room and is pet friendly and has a washer-dryer facility in the basement. The building permits protruding window air-conditioners and it is also across the street from the picturesque onion domes of the St. Nicholas Russian Orthodox Cathedral."
