We are one of the few co-ops in New York City blessed with beautiful interior gardens: a gorgeous new roof deck and container garden with several landscaped areas in the upper level; and a courtyard with a lush, shady tree and lots of flowers and plants, and a children’s playground (see Playground) in the lower level.

Upper-level roof deck and garden

The upper-level roof deck and container garden was completed in Summer 2016 and has several beautifully appointed areas for the enjoyment of our residents, including:

• Boardwalk atop a green roof
• Shaded tree grove
• Elevated sun deck
• Informal dining area
• Pergola-covered dining area
• Artificial turf activity area
• Garden nook

These rules are subject to change by the Board of Directors at any time. Violation of the rules will receive a warning for the first offense and $50 fine for a second offense. Repeated offenses will result in further legal action.

Lower-level courtyard

Many residents enjoy planting their own flowers in the lower-level courtyard, which contributes to the beauty of the space for all who use it. The co-op usually organizes a yearly planting day in the spring. If you would like to plant in the garden, please remember a few common-sense guidelines:

• There are garden tools and supplies in the shed in the courtyard. Feel free to use them, but treat them gently and please be careful.
• Clean up after yourself. Please bring food and other garbage indoors and dispose of it properly. This is not the super’s responsibility.
• The co-op is not responsible for any damage to plants.

Gatherings

If you would like to schedule a gathering of 10 or more people in our gardens (daytime only), this requires permission of the Board. Please contact our managing agent for more information.
