Carter's Review

This 10-story building at 2 East End Avenue on the northwest corner of 79th Street was erected in 1910 and was converted from an electrical testing laboratory to a co-operative apartment building in 1978 by the Rockrose Development Corporation, which was headed by Nourallah Elghanayan and his sons, Tom, Henry, Frederick and Jeffrey.

It has 57 apartments.

The conversion was designed by Bernard Rothzeid & Partners.

The electrical testing company moved into the 8-story building at this address from a two-story structure at 10-12 East End Avenue in 1938.

Bottom Line

A prime Far East Side location with large apartments very close to an entrance to the FDR Drive and not far from Carl Schurz Park and the Chapin and Brearley schools.

Description

The white-brick building has a canopied entrance and slightly recessed window bays with discrete air-conditioners.  The top floor is glass-enclosed and slightly recessed.

Amenities

The building has a full-time doorman, a live-in superintendent, a health club, and basement storage.  It is pet-friendly.
