Building: 130 West 71st Street

West 71st Street Tenants Inc. is a co-op consisting of the buildings at 130, 132, and 134 West 71st Street. These three walk-up buildings house 28 resident units (originally 10 per building, but some have been combined). These were built in 1910 and converted from rental to co-op in 1982. The three separate building entrances are on the garden level (no stoop) with pretty little awnings. The façade is brown stucco. There are well-kept and tasteful trash receptacles in the front of the building, and trash is managed by the part-time super. The co-op is requirements to purchase are fairly liberal, allowing pied-a-terre, co-purchasing, and gifting of funds toward the purchase of the home. The building is mostly owner occupied, although subletting is allowed. Best of all, it is located only steps away from the 2/3 express train and 1.5 blocks to Central Park on a nice, tree-lined block.
