The Mayfair

The Mayfair is a 19-story cooperative tower on Manhattan’s Upper East Side completed in 1963 with 107 residences, primarily studios, one- and two-bedroom layouts. The exterior is a midcentury brick-and-mortar façade set on a tree-lined residential block, and interiors typically feature high ceilings, built-ins, designated dining areas, and entrance foyers. Many units have been renovated with modern kitchens and spa-style bathrooms while preserving original hardwood or engineered oak floors; some corner units provide multiple exposures and expansive light. Common areas emphasize full-service building conveniences: a 24-hour doorman, live-in resident manager, laundry rooms on alternating floors, furnished roof deck with city views, bicycle room, and storage lockers. The property operates a private on-site garage with individually owned parking condominium opportunities, secure digital surveillance, and an owner reservation system. Pet-friendly policies, pied-à-terre purchases, co-purchasing, gifting, and flexible financing options (including up to 80% financing and guarantors) are part of the cooperative’s governance, with occasional capital assessments for ongoing reserve and hallway improvements. Located steps from the Second Avenue subway (Q) and near the 6 train, local buses, supermarkets and restaurants, the building supports a balanced urban lifestyle combining transit access, in-building services, and neighborhood retail.
