Yes, the interiors were constructed on soundstages; however, the exteriors and portions of the inside of the building were actually a very famous Victorian-style Gothic apartment building in New York City. The ‘Bramford’, the brooding Gothic building where newlyweds Rosemary and Guy Woodhouse (Mia Farrow and John Cassavetes) set up home is, of course, the Dakota Apartments, 1 West 72nd Street at Central Park West.
Other occupants of the Dakota, who seem to have had a happier time in the building, include Judy Garland, Lauren Bacall, Boris Karloff and Leonard Bernstein.
Most famously, of course, the block was the last home of John Lennon, who was gunned down at the building's entrance in December 1980. Over the road, in Central Park, is Lennon’s memorial, Strawberry Fields.
Ira Levin’s original story was reputedly inspired by the Alwyn Court Apartments, a Renaissance-style block, decorated with terracotta dragons, at 180 West 58th Street.

It looks as though the outside shots were of the Dakota in New York City (though called the Branford in the movie)--the Dakota famously being the residence of John Lennon and the apartment building outside of which he was tragically killed. However, at least part of the filming took place in Los Angeles--probably on sets for the interior of the apartment.
