NOTE: Tax Deductibility on Maintenance is 66.5% - this amount is subject to the current tax code/laws. The Capitol is a boutique, neo-renaissance prewar landmark building with 25 units on a serene treelined street in Carnegie Hill. It was built in 1912 and converted to a Coop in 1995. Residents of this impressive building enjoy a friendly and skilled live-in Resident Manager and equally affable Part Time Doormen. Laundry room in the basement, basement storage is available at a small charge and pets are very welcome! The Co-op allows gifting, co-purchasing, Guarantors and Pied-a-terre's too. Subletting allowed, Flip tax is 1% of purchase price. Financing is permitted to 65%. Current assessment is $741 through 3/2023 for Local Law 11 pointing and a new roof. Boiler works well, new oil tank but the Coop uses gas for heating & duel fuel. The neighborhood is recognized for its fine shopping and dining as well as its rich cultural institutions and galleries.  All showings are flexible and by appointment only.
