1420 York Ave

A mid-20th-century, seven-story elevator condominium built in 1956 on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. The property contains mostly studio and convertible one-bedroom layouts across approximately 95 units, with many homes featuring high ceilings, hardwood floors, open floorplans, and generous closet space. Kitchens are commonly renovated with modern stainless appliances and granite counters; several units include windowed bathrooms and small alcoves or defined dining nooks. Shared spaces include a staffed lobby with a live-in superintendent, a communal laundry room, a roof deck with city views, and a modest building courtyard; select listings reference on-site garage parking though spaces are limited. Exterior character is typical of postwar urban blocks with a straightforward masonry façade and a rooftop communal terrace. Pet policy varies by unit but many listings restrict dogs while allowing cats in some cases. The location places the building within walking distance of John Jay Park, the East River promenade, multiple hospitals and cultural institutions, and subway and bus lines, supporting a pedestrian-oriented, services-rich neighborhood lifestyle.
