825 Fifth Avenue is a luxury apartment building located onFifth Avenue betweenEast 63rd andEast 64th Streets in theLenox Hill neighborhood ofManhattan inNew York City.[3][4] It was built by thePaterno Brothers.
The 23-floor building was erected in 1926-1927 as a cooperative with 77 apartments, but today it has only 64 units.[5] Developer Joseph Paterno initially opted to list the building as an apartment-hotel so as to legally build 23 stories as opposed to only 15 stories restricted for apartment houses.[6] The building has a notable red-tiled steep-pitched roof, making it visible from a long distance. When it was built,The Real Estate Record & Guide praised the $1 million building's "unusually striking upper-floor effect."[7] By 2025, 825 Fifth Avenue was one of three apartment buildings on the Upper East Side with its own restaurant, the others being1 East 66th Street and960 Fifth Avenue.[8]
