200 East 83rd Street Condominium

Finishes

The finish schedule comes from SLCE Architects' Description of Property and Specifications (compare with our NYC condo finishes guide).

Kitchen

• Wood veneer upper and lower cabinets with stone slab countertops. Sinks and faucets are Franke or Waterworks.
• Miele throughout: a panel-ready KF 2901 Vi refrigerator, an HR 1724G 30-inch gas range, a G 4998 SCVi dishwasher and a Miele vent hood in the typical layout. Many lines add a Miele speed oven, steam oven or warming drawer.
• Larger homes switch to separate Miele refrigerator and freezer columns and a 36-inch gas cooktop or range. Some get two dishwashers.
• Most layouts add a Sub-Zero UW-24/0 under-counter wine cooler. Larger homes get a full-height Sub-Zero wine column instead. The penthouses get a 48-inch Miele gas range.

Baths

• Waterworks fittings in nickel (the Henry, Dash and Universal lines) for showers, tub fillers and accessories.
• Kohler Underscore drop-in tubs, Kohler Verticyl sinks, Duravit ME by Starck toilets and Geberit dual-flush plates. Some showers get Infinity Drain linear drains.
• Electric radiant floor heating in every primary bathroom. Primary baths are finished in stone.

Floors, Ceilings and Windows

• Floors: white oak engineered plank at least 5/8 inch thick, matte finish, over an acoustical underlayment. Walls between apartments are rated STC 50.
• Ceilings: measured from the top of the slab, about 8 feet to 9 feet 2 inches on most lower floors, up to about 11 feet 1 inch on floors 22 to 34, and up to 16 feet on the 36th floor. Hallways, kitchens and baths have dropped ceilings.
• Windows: aluminum fixed and in-swinging casement windows with insulated low-E glass, by Schuco, Wausau, Skyline or equal. Operable windows open only 4 inches.
• Facade: precast concrete, limestone and metal panels.

Laundry, Heating and Cooling

• Laundry: every home gets a washer and dryer. Floors 3 to 18 get Miele, including a TWB120WP dryer. Floors 22 through the penthouses get Maytag. There's also a laundry room on the Sub-Cellar Floor.
• Heating and cooling: water-cooled Samsung VRF heat pumps on a building condenser water loop, with three Aerco gas boilers and two rooftop cooling towers. Some lower-floor lines share one heat pump unit, metered separately for each home (see condo heating and cooling systems).
• Hot water: central, made with heat from the rooftop boilers in six zones, each with a standby heater.
• Extras: certain homes have gas fireplaces, and terrace homes 7A, 9A, 9B, 10A, 10B and the three penthouses come with a Weber gas grill.

Amenities, Staffing & Transportation

The amenities are spread over four levels (compare with our boutique condo amenity research).

Club Floor

• A pool about 70 feet long and 13 feet wide, 4 to 4.5 feet deep, of stainless steel with a tile finish. It uses salt chlorine with UV treatment and is heated with building hot water.
• A spa treatment room, steam room, sauna and changing rooms with showers.
• A lounge, a common loggia and a common terrace with movable furniture.

Fitness Club Floor

• A fitness center and a yoga studio.

Lobby Floor and Lower Level

• A library, a landscaped rear garden, a common terrace and the porte cochère on the Lobby Floor.
• A children's playroom and a media room on the Lower Level.
• 46 bike racks on the Sub-Cellar Floor at $20 a month each, and storage bins at $1.25 a square foot a month.

Good to know: the amenities, storage bins, bike room and common terraces may not be ready until 12 months after the first closing. The sponsor can also use the common areas for sales events for up to 10 years after the first closing.

Staffing and Services

The payroll comes from a proposal by Century Management Services, the managing agent. Some shifts are employed by the condominium and others come through a third-party staffing company. The plan doesn't mention a union.

• Doorman: one post covering the lobby 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
• Front desk attendant: 16 hours a day, handling packages and mail.
• Resident manager: lives in Unit 6B and oversees the mechanical systems and the porters.
• Porters and handyman: two porters covering 112 hours a week and a handyman covering 56.
• Amenity staff: an outside operator provides an amenity concierge 40 hours a week (plus 24/7 on-demand service) and a pool lifeguard 70 hours a week, for about $200,000 a year.
• Elevators: three automatic passenger elevators, one used as a swing elevator for moves and deliveries.

Payroll totals about $1.25 million, including a 9% inflation bump. To see how that compares, read where condo common charges go.

Transportation

• Subway: 3 min walk to 86 St Q; 86 St 4 5 6, 5 min
