NYC Central Park

Yes. The building requires a minimum stay of 30 nights. All guests must sign a separate lease and be approved by the condo board before move-in.

First, we confirm your dates and complete the booking. Once booked, we'll exchange contact details and send over a standard New York State lease for signature. From there, we'll get you set up in the building's online application system so you can begin the board approval process.

The building uses FirstService Residential's online portal. The application includes: personal information, a financial statement with bank and investment statements, income verification (employment letter or CPA letter plus recent pay stubs), a professional reference, a personal reference, a landlord/management reference letter, a credit and background check authorization, emergency contact information, and the signed lease agreement. All financial figures must be in U.S. dollars and all documents must be submitted in English.

Once all documents are fully and correctly submitted, the management company's review takes up to 7 business days, followed by the board's own review period. The main bottleneck is usually getting all required documents submitted — that step tends to take guests the longest. We recommend booking at least 15 days before your intended check-in date to allow enough time.

The building charges approximately $1,000 in application fees per application at the time of submission, covering the processing fee, document retention, consumer report, and background checks. There is also an optional expedited review fee ($500) that reduces the management company's review to 1–2 business days. Fees are paid by credit card or bank cashier's check directly to the management company and are non-refundable. Incomplete submissions that need to be resubmitted incur an additional $200 resubmission fee each time, so it's important to get everything right the first time.

If the board does not approve your application, you receive a full refund of all rental and booking fees. However, the application fees paid to the building are non-refundable. We have no visibility into the board's review process and no ability to influence their decision.

Yes. You can download the complete requirements summary (PDF) from the building's management company, FirstService Residential. The application is completed online at their portal once we set you up.

Yes. The management company offers an optional expedited review for $500 (non-refundable), which reduces their processing time from up to 7 business days to 1–2 business days. This does not include the board's own review time, which is separate.

You're at Columbus Circle — Central Park is across the street, Lincoln Center is a five-minute walk, and the Shops at Columbus Circle (with Whole Foods) are in the building. Multiple subway lines are steps away. See our NYC local guide for our favorite restaurants, cultural spots, and neighborhood tips.

No smoking in the unit, on the balconies, or in building common areas. No pets. No parties or gatherings. No extra guests beyond those on the lease (maximum 6). This is a full-time residential building — quiet hours are 10 PM to 8 AM.
