Though the Dakota had an unusual design for its time, only one other luxury "communal palace" followed it: [[the Osborne]] on [[57th Street (Manhattan)|57th Street]].<ref name="Hawes p. 104">{{harvnb|Hawes|1993|ps=.|page=104}}</ref> After the Dakota was completed, ornamental-iron contractor [[Hecla Iron Works]] published advertisements of the building in ''[[Architectural Record]]''.<ref name="Alpern p. 117">{{harvnb|Alpern|2015|ps=.|p=117}}</ref> The building and its inhabitants have been detailed in numerous periodicals, including ''Look'' and ''[[Architectural Forum]]''.<ref>{{harvnb|Alpern|2015|ps=.|p=120}}</ref> Illustrations of the building appeared on several magazine covers, including the July 12, 1982, issue of ''[[The New Yorker]]'' magazine and the 1979 Christmas catalog for [[Brentano's]] bookstore.<ref name="Alpern p. 117" /> Numerous replicas of the building have been created, including a model at [[Legoland Florida]], as well as merchandise such as tissue boxes.<ref>{{harvnb|Alpern|2015|ps=.|pp=117–118}}</ref> The [[American Institute of Architects]]' 2007 survey ''[[America's Favorite Architecture|List of America's Favorite Architecture]]'' ranked the Dakota among the top 150 buildings in the United States.<ref>{{cite web|website=FavoriteArchitecture.org|publisher=AIA|url=http://favoritearchitecture.org/afa150.php|title=List of America's Favorite Architecture|year=2007|access-date=September 27, 2010|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110510113118/http://favoritearchitecture.org/afa150.php|archive-date=May 10, 2011}}</ref><ref name="nyt-2007-05-27">{{Cite news |last=Kugel |first=Seth |date=2007-05-27 |title=The List: 33 Architectural Favorites in New York |language=en-US |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/27/travel/27Bweekend.html |access-date=2023-01-20 |issn=0362-4331 |archive-date=January 20, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230120163218/https://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/27/travel/27Bweekend.html |url-status=live}}</ref>

The Dakota's history is detailed in at least two books. [[Stephen Birmingham]]'s book ''Life at the Dakota'' was published in 1979,<ref name="n101753611" /><ref>{{Cite news |last=Lasson |first=Robert |date=September 16, 1979 |title=A Luxury Building |language=en-US |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1979/09/16/archives/a-luxury-building-dakota.html |access-date=May 12, 2022 |issn=0362-4331 |archive-date=May 12, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220512183342/https://www.nytimes.com/1979/09/16/archives/a-luxury-building-dakota.html |url-status=live}}</ref> while historian Andrew Alpern's book ''The Dakota: A History of the World's Best-Known Apartment Building'' was published in 2015.<ref>{{cite web |last=Rosenberg |first=Zoe |date=August 5, 2015 |title=131-Year History of the Iconic Dakota Chronicled in New Book |url=https://ny.curbed.com/2015/8/5/9933444/131-year-history-of-the-iconic-dakota-chronicled-in-new-book |access-date=May 12, 2022 |website=Curbed NY |archive-date=June 9, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210609025843/https://ny.curbed.com/2015/8/5/9933444/131-year-history-of-the-iconic-dakota-chronicled-in-new-book |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last=Borgeson |first=Kelly |date=November 9, 2015 |title=Go Inside New York's Most Famous Apartment Building |url=https://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/the-dakota-new-york-apartment-building |access-date=May 12, 2022 |website=Architectural Digest |archive-date=November 23, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201123165538/https://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/the-dakota-new-york-apartment-building |url-status=live}}</ref> Nonetheless, relatively little scholarly material about the Dakota has been published.
