Carter’s Review

"This very handsome and robust, 21-story apartment building was erected in 1966 and converted to a cooperative in 1983. It has 119 apartments.

In their fine book, "The A.I.A. Guide to New York City, Fourth Edition," published in 2000 by Three Rivers Press, Elliot Willensky and Norval White make the following observations about this building: "The same economics, the same materials, the same zoning and building laws as its speculative apartment house peers, here in the hands of someone who cared. The bold massing of the balconies reads as a great richness on the avenue. It was the setting for the film version of Neil Simon's The Prisoner of Second Avenue.""
