315 W 55Th St

A six-story, mid-20th-century cooperative in Midtown West, originally built in 1945 and configured as a low-rise elevator building. The facade and massing are consistent with boutique Manhattan residential blocks; units range from studios to one-bedroom apartments, some with private outdoor space such as balconies or small planted yards. Interiors commonly feature features from multiple renovation eras: hardwood floors, exposed brick in some units, modest entry foyers, pass-through or galley kitchens, and through-wall air conditioning. Shared spaces include a newly upgraded lobby (recent assessment-funded work), an on-site laundry room in the basement, a live-in superintendent, and an entrance foyer with secure access; a roof deck and planted garden area provide outdoor communal space. The building’s pet policy has varied by offering statements in listings, but many units and documents historically restrict pets with case-by-case exceptions for co-purchases, guarantors, and pied-a-terre arrangements; subletting is typically permitted after two years of ownership on a three-out-of-four-year basis. Parking is not a building feature. Located on a tree-lined block in Hell’s Kitchen/Clinton, the property sits within easy walking distance of Central Park, Columbus Circle, Lincoln Center, the theater district, and multiple subway lines, supporting a pedestrian-oriented urban lifestyle near shopping, restaurants, and cultural institutions.
