160 west 87th street is an elegant prewar cooperative building on a beautiful tree-lined brownstone block.  Very well-maintained and financially sound, the building features a live-in superintendent and on-site porter, video security, air-conditioned lobby, a fitness room, playroom, personal storage (two storage units available for $100/month for both), a bicycle room, laundry room and a spectacular landscaped roof deck.  The 9-story building was built in 1914 and converted to cooperative in 1975, one of the first in the neighborhood.  There are 40 apartments.  Pets and pieds-a-terre permitted.  Washer/dryers allowed with board approval.  The co-op board is committed to maintaining the overall value of the building as can be witnessed by the ongoing improvements to the common areas.  Renovations are welcome and well vetted by the board for compliance with the proprietary lease.  In order to maintain one of the lowest maintenances on the uws, the board has forgone the 24 hour doorman and instead invested in a fabulous live in superintendent who makes himself available to support not just the overall health of the building but all the residents as well.
