Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure [Text Block]	'
	1	The Company:
	Gyrodyne Company of America, Inc. (“Gyrodyne” or the “Company”) is a self-managed and self-administered real estate investment trust (“REIT”) formed under the laws of the State of New York. The Company manages its business as one operating segment. Prior to December 30, 2013, the Company’s primary business was the investment in and the acquisition, ownership and management of a geographically diverse portfolio of medical office, industrial and development of industrial and residential properties located in the Northeast region of the United States. On December 30, 2013, the Company distributed to its shareholders, as the non-cash portion of the special dividend announced on September 12, 2013 (the “Special Dividend”), all of the equity interests of its subsidiary Gyrodyne Special Distribution LLC (“GSD”), which owned 100% of the interests (through GSD’s subsidiaries) in the Company’s four real estate properties, subject to related mortgage debt in favor of Flowerfield Mortgage Inc., also a subsidiary of the Company, with the Company having the contractual right to manage the business and properties of GSD. Based on management provisions set forth in GSD’s limited liability company agreement which designates sole management authority in the Company, the Company concluded that GSD is a variable interest entity and that GSD’s financial statements should be consolidated with the Company’s. Accordingly, we may use references to "we" or "our" to refer to the Company and GSD and "the Company's properties" or "GSD's properties" (or derivations thereof) interchangeably in this report. In that connection, however, it should be noted that GSD has legal title to the properties and will incur any operating or capital losses resulting from the properties, due to risks as outlined below or otherwise. However, such losses may adversely impact GSD's ability to meet debt service obligations and or repayments of mortgages to Flowerfield Mortgage, Inc. or payment of management fees or result in capital needs at GSD that might require additional capital from the Company, or external sources.
	Substantially all of GSD’s properties are subject to net leases in which the tenant reimburses GSD for a portion, all of or substantially all of the costs and/ or cost increases for utilities, insurance, repairs and maintenance, and real estate taxes. Certain leases provide that GSD is responsible for certain operating expenses.
	As of September 30, 2014, the Company had an investment in three separate mortgages due from GSD of approximately $13,130,800 and a receivable under a revolving line of credit of $3,000,459. The mortgages and revolving line of credit contain a 5% effective rate and both principal and interest are eliminated in consolidation. The mortgages contain a first lien on the medical parks related real estate owned by GSD. Additionally, the Company owns an estimated 9.32% limited partnership interest in Callery Judge Grove, L.P. (the “Grove”), a limited partnership, which in 2013 sold its only property, an undeveloped Florida property (the “Grove Property”). For further information see Footnote 18.
	Following the December 30, 2013 distribution of all of the common membership interests of GSD to the Company’s shareholders in the Special Dividend, the Company has been managing GSD pursuant to the terms of GSD’s limited liability company agreement (the “GSD Agreement”). The GSD Agreement provides that the Company has sole and absolute discretion regarding the management and affairs of GSD. In its capacity as GSD’s managing member, the Company has unilateral authority, without seeking GSD shareholder approval, over the management of the real estate assets, including leasing and sale of its real estate holdings and the execution of any agency and brokerage agreements to facilitate such leases and sales, investing in its real estate holdings through capital improvements and proceeding strategically with seeking to maximize the value of the undeveloped Flowerfield property. Under GSD’s limited liability company agreement, the Company is entitled to market-rate compensation for its services as well as reimbursement for any costs and expenses incurred by and properly allocable to GSD. In April 2014, the Company’s board of directors approved a cost-plus based management fee to be charged to GSD (see footnote 4 for additional detail on the methodology of the cost plus mark-up), which percentage falls in the lower quartile of similar fees charged by comparable companies according to a benchmarking study. Pursuant to the GSD LLC agreement, the Company was obligated to provide an initial liquidity facility to GSD in an amount not to exceed $2.5 million, which amount the Company may determine from time to time. During the third quarter of 2014, the board of directors authorized an increase in the revolving line of credit to $3.5 million. The interest on the debt facilities payable by GSD to the Company is REIT qualified income. The foregoing income earned by the Company for managing GSD is not deemed to be REIT qualified income and therefore is appropriately payable to its taxable REIT subsidiary, Flowerfield Properties, Inc.
	The Company, through its managing member control of GSD (albeit with no ownership interest) controls two medical office parks and ten of fourteen buildings in a third medical park, together comprising approximately 131,000 rentable square feet and a multitenant industrial park comprising approximately 130,000 rentable square feet. In addition, the Company, through the same managing member control, maintains approximately 68 acres of property in St. James, New York.
	The Company believes it has qualified, and expects to continue to qualify, as a REIT under Section 856(c) (1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended (the “Code”). Accordingly, the Company generally will not be subject to federal and state income tax, provided that distributions to its shareholders equal at least 90% of its REIT taxable income as defined under the Code. The Company is permitted to participate in certain activities from which it was previously precluded in order to maintain its qualifications as a REIT. However, these activities must be conducted in an entity which elected to be treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) under the Code. The Company has one taxable REIT subsidiary which is subject to federal and state income tax on the income from these activities.
	The Company conducts its operations either directly or indirectly through (1) property owning subsidiaries and lender subsidiaries, or (2) Flowerfield Properties, Inc. a wholly owned TRS. Property owner subsidiaries are landlords leasing properties in which the Company has a managing member control but no ownership interest, and lender subsidiaries are lenders loaning funds where the Company made an investment in a loan asset, but in all cases these subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal entities. The Company is the sole managing member of GSD with managerial authority and investment/disposition authority. Flowerfield Mortgage Inc. (“FMI”) is a lender subsidiary wholly owned by the Company with three loan assets secured by property held in the property owner subsidiaries.
	On October 21, 2013, the Company filed a preliminary proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) which contains, among other matters, the Board’s recommendation that the shareholders vote in favor of a plan of merger. The Company received comments from the SEC on November 18, 2013. Consequently, the Company proceeded with holding its 2013 annual meeting without seeking authorization for the merger transaction at that time because of NASDAQ rules requiring listed companies to hold an annual meeting not later than twelve months following the fiscal year end. On May 8, 2014, the Company responded to such comments and filed a revised preliminary proxy statement with the SEC. The Company received comments from the SEC on May 29, 2014 and responded to such comments and filed a revised proxy statement (Amendment No. 2) with the SEC on June 17, 2014. The Company received comments from the SEC on June 24, 2014 and responded to such comments and filed a revised proxy statement (Amendment No. 3) with the SEC on June 26, 2014. The Company received comments from the SEC on June 26, 2014 and responded to such comments and filed a definitive proxy statement (Amendment No. 4) with the SEC on July 1, 2014. On June 5, 2014, the Company announced that a special meeting of shareholders of Gyrodyne Company of America, Inc., would be held at Flowerfield Celebrations, Mills Pond Road, Saint James, New York 11780 on August 14, 2014, at 11:00 a.m., Eastern Time. At the special meeting, the Company was asking the shareholders of record on June 30, 2014 to authorize a plan of merger and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the merger of the Company and GSD with and into Gyrodyne, LLC, a subsidiary of the Company. Shareholders of record at the close of business on June 30, 2014, were entitled to vote at the special meeting or its adjournment or postponement, if any, provided such meeting takes place by August 30, 2014. On August 25, 2014, the Company announced the postponement of the special meeting. The Company rescheduled the special meeting to December 5, 2014 to allow additional time for shareholders to vote on the proposed merger and changed the shareholder record date to October 31, 2014. The Company has been advised by its proxy solicitor, MacKenzie Partners, that with approximately 45% of the outstanding shares voted thus far by delivery of proxy cards, approximately 97% of such shares represented by delivered proxy cards have been voted in favor of the merger.  Despite the overwhelming percentage of received votes in favor of the merger not enough shares have been voted to reach the two-thirds majority needed under New York law. Accordingly, on November 4, 2014, the Company announced a further postponement of the special meeting until the first half of 2015. The Company and its advisors will continue to analyze potential options in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, which may include enhancements designed to facilitate the ability to complete the merger transaction.

Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]	'
	2	Significant accounting policies:
	The below disclosures are in addition to the significant accounting policies disclosed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
	Revenue recognition – Base rents from rental properties are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases. The excess of rents recognized over amounts contractually due, if any, are included in deferred rents receivable on the Company's balance sheets. Alternatively, rents received in advance of rents recognized, if any, are included in deferred rent liability on the Company’s balance sheet. Certain leases also provide for tenant reimbursements of common area maintenance, other operating expenses and real estate taxes all of which are reported in tenant reimbursements on the consolidated statements of operations. Ancillary and other property related income is recognized in the period earned.
	Gains on sales of real estate - Gains on sales of real estate are recognized based upon the specific timing of the sale as measured against various criteria related to the terms of the transactions and any continuing involvement associated with the properties. If the sales criteria are not met, the gain is deferred and the finance, installment or cost recovery method, as appropriate, is applied until the sales criteria are met. To the extent GSD sells a property and retains a partial ownership interest in the property, the Company recognizes gain to the extent of the third-party ownership interest.
	Assets Held For Sale and Discontinued Operations- Assets and liabilities of properties that meet various held for sale criteria, including whether it is probable that a sale will occur within 12 months, are presented separately in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as “Assets held for Sale”, with assets and liabilities being separately stated. The operating results of these properties are reflected as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Properties classified as held for sale are carried at the lower of net carrying value or estimated fair value less costs to sell and depreciation and amortization are no longer recognized. Properties that do not meet the held for sale criteria are accounted for as operating properties.

	3	Basis of Quarterly Presentations:
	The accompanying quarterly financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The financial statements of the Company included herein have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments which are necessary to present fairly the results for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.
	Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations; however, management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
	This report should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and footnotes therein included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 and with the definitive proxy statement/prospectus filed with the SEC on July 1, 2014.
	The results of operations for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Principles Of Consolidation [Abstract]	'
Principles Of Consolidation [Text Block]	'
	4	Principles of Consolidation:
	The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Gyrodyne Company of America, Inc. and all majority owned subsidiaries. The Company consolidates its wholly owned subsidiaries, partnerships and joint ventures which it controls (i) through voting rights or similar rights or (ii) by means other than voting rights if the Company is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity ("VIE"). If an investment is determined to be a VIE, the Company performs an analysis to determine if the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. GAAP requires a VIE to be consolidated by its primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the party that has a controlling financial interest in an entity. In order for a party to have a controlling financial interest in an entity, it must have (1) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and (2) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of an entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
	The Company's consolidated VIE, GSD, was determined to be a VIE primarily because the Company has the power to direct activities of GSD that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the entity. GSD owns all of the real estate that was previously owned by the Company prior to the distribution of ownership interests in GSD to the Company’s shareholders on December 30, 2013. GSD owes mortgage obligations payable to a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company of $13,130,802 and $13,840,889 as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. As previously discussed in the Company’s 2013 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K, the estimated fair value of the real estate net of its mortgage obligations and other direct liabilities was $30,685,000 on December 30, 2013. At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the net book value of GSD was approximately $16,893,000 and $19,058,000, respectively. GSD is essentially being managed and operated by the Company where the Company is the primary obligor for liabilities incurred on behalf of GSD. As a result, the Company could be held liable for current and future obligations of GSD, and in turn it would be the Company’s obligation to seek reimbursement from GSD.
	Investments in affiliates in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, are accounted for under the equity method. The Company did not have any such investments at September 30, 2014. Investment interests in excess of 5% in limited partnerships are accounted for under the equity method. All consolidated subsidiaries are wholly owned. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. There were no investments accounted for under the equity method as of September 30, 2014.
	Management Services Arrangements
	Under GSD’s Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement, Gyrodyne, in its capacity as managing member of GSD, is entitled to market-rate compensation for its services as well as reimbursement for any costs and expenses incurred by and properly allocable to GSD. Gyrodyne also is obligated to provide an initial liquidity facility to GSD in an amount not to exceed $2.5 million, which Gyrodyne may determine from time to time. During the third quarter of 2014, the board of directors authorized an increase in the revolving line of credit to $3.5 million.
	Taking into account a number of factors, including a management services benchmarking study commissioned by Gyrodyne, we implemented a management services arrangement under which GSD will pay certain fees to or reimburse Gyrodyne as follows:
	●     GSD will reimburse Gyrodyne for 85% of Gyrodyne's General and Administrative (G&A) Expenses and pay a fee to Gyrodyne equal to 8.5% of such reimbursed amount; plus
	●     GSD will reimburse Gyrodyne for all rental expenses, whether value added (such as contractor and payroll expenses) or non-value added (such as utilities and taxes) paid by Gyrodyne in respect of the Contributed Properties; plus
	●     GSD will pay a fee to Gyrodyne equal to 8.5% of all value added rental expenses paid by Gyrodyne in respect of the Contributed Properties, but no fee will be payable in respect of non-value added rental expenses; plus
	●     GSD will reimburse 100% (without mark-up) of any bonuses (under the Bonus Plan (See "Interests of Our Directors and Executive Officers—Bonus Plan") or otherwise) paid by Gyrodyne to its employees and directors and related payroll taxes on account of any sales of the Contributed Properties; plus
	●     Gyrodyne will be entitled to interest at the rate of 5.0% per annum on any funds advanced by Gyrodyne pursuant to the liquidity facility made available to GSD.
	The foregoing management services arrangements are subject to change pending further analysis and completion of documentation of such arrangements and formal adoption by our Board. Upon such adoption of definitive documentation with respect to the management services arrangements, Gyrodyne will file a current report on Form 8-K containing disclosure of the terms of such arrangements as so adopted, which disclosure will identify any modifications of the foregoing.

	FASB ASC Topic 360-10, Property, Plant and Equipment – Overall requires a long-lived asset to be classified as “held for sale” in the period in which certain criteria are met. The Company classifies real estate assets and their related liabilities as held for sale after the following conditions have been satisfied: (1) the receipt of approval from its board of directors to sell the asset, (2) the initiation of an active program to sell the asset, and (3) the asset is available for immediate sale and it is probable that the sale of the asset will be completed within one year. When assets are classified as held for sale, they are recorded at the lower of the assets’ carrying amount or fair value, less the estimated selling costs.
	The Company and Gyrodyne Special Distribution LLC, its consolidated Variable Interest Entity, periodically classifies real estate assets as held for sale, and these assets and their liabilities are stated separately on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. During the second quarter of 2014, the Company’s board of directors approved the hiring of real estate brokers to facilitate the sale of the Cortlandt Manor Medical Center and Fairfax Medical Center. The Company expects to complete the sale of these properties within one year.

	The Company assesses on a regular basis whether there are any indicators that the carrying value of its real estate assets may be impaired. Potential indicators may include an increase in vacancy at a property, tenant reduction in utilization of a property, tenant financial instability and the potential sale of the property in the near future. An asset is determined to be impaired if the asset's carrying value is in excess of its estimated fair value. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company did not recognize any impairment charges in discontinued operations, relating to real estate assets that were classified as held for sale.
	During the second quarter of 2014, the Company recognized aggregate impairment charges of $200,000 on real estate assets classified in continuing operations. (See footnote 19)

Investments in Debt and Marketable Equity Securities (and Certain Trading Assets) Disclosure [Text Block]	'
	7	Investment in Marketable Securities:
	The Company determines the appropriate classification of securities at the time of purchase and reassesses the appropriateness of such classification at each reporting date. All marketable securities held by the Company have been classified as available-for-sale and, as a result, are stated at fair value, based on a pricing model that incorporates coupon type, prepayment speeds and the type of collateral backing the securities. Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are recorded as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Any realized gains and losses on the sale of securities, as determined on a first-in, first-out basis, will be included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
	The Company reviews its investments on a regular basis to evaluate whether or not each security has experienced an other-than-temporary decline in fair value. If it is believed that an other-than-temporary decline exists, the Company will write down the investment to market value and record the related write-down in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
	The historical cost and estimated fair value of investments in marketable securities available for sale as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 are as follows:
			30-Sep-14			31-Dec-13
	Amortized cost		$	6,137,249		$	3,446,037
	Gross Unrealized Losses			(65,743	)		(65,173	)
	Fair Value*		$	6,071,506		$	3,380,864
	*The Company received $447,731 in principal repayments during the nine months ended September 30, 2014
	The Company’s investment is in conforming agency fixed rate mortgage pass through securities (“mortgage-backed securities)”, each of which contained either AA or AAA ratings, the principal of which is fully guaranteed by agencies of the U.S. Government. At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, marketable securities based on amortized cost, reflect a yield of approximately 2%, have contractual maturities of 15 or 30 years and an adjusted duration of less than four years. The fair value of mortgage-backed securities was estimated based on a Level 2 methodology, additional details of which are discussed further in Note 18 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments. None of the securities with an unrealized loss at September 30, 2014 is considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired; therefore the unrealized loss was reported in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

	The transfer of the properties by the Company to GSD resulted in the recognition of approximately $28.4 million of capital gain income by the Company in 2013. Giving effect to offsetting deductions, the Company determined that it would have approximately $18 million in REIT income for 2013. In order to satisfy applicable REIT distribution requirements, on December 20, 2013, the Company declared an additional dividend, payable to the Company’s shareholders of record as of December 31, 2013 on January 31, 2014. The Second Special Dividend was paid in the form of interests in a global dividend note due June 30, 2017 (“Dividend Note”) aggregating $16,150,000 ($10.89 per share) in principal amount. The Dividend Note bears interest at 5.0% per annum, payable semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing June 15, 2014, and may be payable in cash or in the form of additional notes. On June 16, 2014, the initial semi-annual interest payment on the Dividend Note was paid in kind in the form of uncertificated interests in a global subordinated note due June 30, 2017 in the principal amount of $302,813 that otherwise is identical to the Dividend Note other than as to the initial semi-annual interest payment date thereunder.

	12	Retirement Plans:
	On November 25, 2013 the Company’s Board voted to terminate the noncontributory defined benefit pension plan (the “Plan”), subject to regulatory approval, and has begun the process of termination. On February 28, 2014, the Company submitted the necessary application and related documents to the IRS and to the Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation (“PBGC”) in August 2014. Both the PBGC and the IRS must approve the termination. The Company expects to receive the approval from the PBGC and the IRS in the fourth quarter of 2014.
	As a result of the Board’s vote to terminate the pension plan, on February 28, 2014 the non-vested benefits became fully vested, and the effects of future contribution levels will cease to be an obligation. The Pension plan has an accumulated net unrecognized gain. Any gain (loss) from termination will be added to (netted against) the unrecognized pension gain and recognized in the financial statements.
	The Plan contains two options for employees and beneficiaries to choose from upon termination of the Plan; Annuity or Lump Sum. The below pension asset reflects an annuity obligation where assets will exceed the obligations.
	The following table provides the components of net periodic pension benefit cost for the Plan for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 including the required and expected contributions:

	Benefits under the Company’s Incentive Compensation Plan (the “ICP”) are realized upon either a Change-in-Control (as defined in the ICP) of the Company, or upon the issuance by the Company of an “Excess Dividend” (as defined in the ICP) following certain asset sales. The ICP provides that payments made in connection with an Excess Dividend may not exceed the hypothetical ICP payments that would have been made had there instead been a Change in Control transaction consummated on the dividend payment date. The ICP payments that would have been made had there been a Change in Control transaction consummated on December 30, 2013, the payment date of the $98,685,000 special dividend, were approximately $5,277,800. The ICP payments actually made in respect of the $68,000,000 cash portion of the special dividend totaled $5,044,600. Consequently, remaining ICP payments to be made in connection with the special dividend when and to the extent that GSD holders receive cash in respect of their GSD interests may not exceed $233,200 ($5,277,800 - $5,044,600).

	14	Retention/ Incentive Bonus Plan:
	In September 2013, our board of directors determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to pursue the actual disposition of the Company’s remaining assets and to complete the Company’s tax liquidation by means of the proposed merger of the Company and GSD with and into Gyrodyne, LLC, if approved and consummated. Following the proposed merger, Gyrodyne, LLC would operate with a business plan to dispose of the properties previously transferred from the Company to GSD (the “Contributed Properties”), and any other assets, in each case in an orderly manner designed to obtain the best value reasonably available for such assets. Accordingly, in May 2014, our board of directors authorized a Retention Bonus Plan designed to recognize the nature and scope of the responsibilities related to such business plan, to reward and incent performance in connection therewith, to align the interests of directors, executives and employees with our shareholders and to retain such persons during the term of such plan. The Retention Bonus Plan provides for bonuses to directors and discretionary bonuses to officers and employees determined by the gross sales proceeds from the sale of each property and the date of sale.
	The Retention Bonus Plan consists of a bonus pool that would be funded with an amount equal to 5% of the specified appraised value of each of the Contributed Properties (to be set forth in the plan), so long as the gross selling price of a property is equal to or greater than 100% of its appraised value (based on appraisals utilized to support the value of the real estate included in the non-cash dividend distributed on December 30, 2013). Additional funding of the bonus pool would occur on a property-by-property basis when the gross sales price of a property is in excess of its appraised value as follows: 10% on the first 10% of appreciation, 15% on the next 10% of appreciation and 20% on appreciation greater than 20%. Furthermore, if a specified property is sold on or before a designated date to be specified in the Retention Bonus Plan, an additional amount equal to 2% of the gross selling price of such property also would be funded into the bonus pool.
	The bonus pool is distributable in the following proportions to the named participants in the bonus plan for so long as they are directors or employees of the Company, GSD or Gyrodyne, LLC: 15% for the Chairman, 50% for the directors other than the chairman (10% for each of the other five directors) and 35% (the Employee Pool”) for the Company’s executives and employees. Such share of the bonus pool is earned only upon the completion of the sale of a property at a gross selling price equal to or greater than its appraised value and is paid to the named beneficiaries of the Retention Bonus Plan or their designees within 60 days of the completion of such sale or, if later, within 60 days of receipt of any subsequent post-completion installment payment related to such sale. All allocations to individual beneficiaries in the Employee Pool are discretionary and shall be determined from time to time by the board of directors of the Company or its successor in consultation with its President.
	Pursuant to the terms of the Management Services Arrangement, the foregoing bonus payments made by the Company will be reimbursed by GSD (See “Management Services Arrangements”).

	17	Recent Accounting Pronouncements:
	In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” The amendments do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements. However, the amendments require an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of the net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years and interim periods ending after December 15, 2012. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
	In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, “Income Taxes (Topic 740), Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists”. ASU 2013-11 amends the current guidance to eliminate the diversity in practice in the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits. An unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. To the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The assessment of whether a deferred tax asset is available is based on the unrecognized tax benefit and deferred tax asset that exist at the reporting date and should be made presuming disallowance of the tax position at the reporting date. The pronouncement is effective prospectively for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2013, and retrospective application is permitted. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
	In April 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-07, “Presentation of Financial Statement (Topic 205), Liquidation Basis of Accounting.” The amendment requires an entity to prepare its financial statements using the liquidation basis of accounting when liquidation is imminent. Liquidation is imminent when the likelihood is remote that the entity will return from liquidation and either (a) a plan for liquidation is approved by the person or persons with the authority to make such a plan effective and the likelihood is remote that the plan execution of the plan will be blocked by other parties or (b) a plan for liquidation is being imposed by other forces. Financial statements prepared using the liquidation basis of accounting are required to present relevant information about an entity’s expected resources in liquidation by measuring and presenting assets at the amount of the expected cash proceeds from liquidation. The entity should include in its presentation of assets any item it had not previously recognized under U.S. GAAP but that it expects to either sell in liquidation or use in settling liabilities. An entity should recognize and measure liabilities in accordance with U.S. GAAP that otherwise applies to those liabilities. The entity is also required to accrue and separately present the costs that it expects to incur and the income that it expects to earn during the expected duration of the liquidation, including any costs associated with sale or settlement of those assets and liabilities. Additionally, the amendment requires disclosures about an entity’s plan for liquidation, the methods and significant assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities, the type and amount of costs and income accrued, and the expected duration of the liquidation process. The pronouncement is effective for entities that determine liquidation is imminent during annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013 and interim reporting periods therein, early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.
	In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, “Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360), Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity.” ASU 2014-08 on Discontinued Operations changes the criteria for determining which disposals can be presented as discontinued operations and modified related disclosure requirements.  Under the new guidance, a discontinued operation is defined as: (i) a disposal of a component or group of components that is disposed of or is classified as held for sale that represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results or (ii) an acquired business or nonprofit activity that is classified as held for sale on the date of acquisition.  The standard states that a strategic shift could include a disposal of (i) a major geographical area of operations, (ii) a major line of business, (iii) a major equity method investment, or (iv) other major parts of an entity.  Under the current US GAAP, an entity is prohibited from reporting a discontinued operation if it has certain continuing cash flows or involvement component after the disposal.  The new guidance eliminates these criteria. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years and interim periods ending after December 15, 2014. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
	In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” The amendments in this Update create Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, including most industry-specific revenue recognition guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification. In addition, the amendments supersede the cost guidance in Subtopic 605-35, Revenue Recognition—Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts, and create new Subtopic 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs—Contracts with Customers. In summary, the core principle of Topic 606 is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The amendments in this Update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is not permitted. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
	In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements (Subtopic 205-40), Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU No. 2014-15”). The amendments in ASU No. 2014-15 require management to evaluate, for each annual and interim reporting period, whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or are available to be issued when applicable) and, if so, provide related disclosures. ASU No. 2014-15 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted for annual or interim reporting periods for which the financial statements have not previously been issued. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material effect on Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]	'
Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block]	'
	18	Fair Value of Financial Instruments:
	Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair-Value – The Company follows authoritative guidance on fair value measurements, which defines fair-value, establishes a framework for measuring fair-value, and expands disclosures about fair-value measurements. The guidance applies to reported balances that are required or permitted to be measured at fair-value under existing accounting pronouncements.
	The Company follows authoritative guidance on the fair value option for financial assets, which permits companies to choose to measure certain financial instruments and other items at fair-value in order to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently. However, we have not elected to measure any additional financial instruments and other items at fair-value (other than those previously required under other GAAP rules or standards) under the provisions of this standard.
	The guidance emphasizes that fair-value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, a fair-value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair-value measurements, the guidance establishes a fair-value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy). In instances where the determination of the fair-value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair-value hierarchy, the level in the fair-value hierarchy within which the entire fair-value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair-value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair-value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.
	The following table represents the carrying value and fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
			30-Sep-14				31-Dec-13
	Description		Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value
					(Level 2)				(Level 2)
	Investment in Marketable Securities		$	6,071,506	$	6,071,506*	$	3,380,864	$	3,380,864
	*The Company received $447,731 in principal repayments during the first nine-months of 2014.
	During 2012 and June through July 2014, the Company purchased mortgage backed securities with either AA or AAA ratings fully guaranteed by US government agencies (the Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation). The fair values of mortgage backed securities originated by US government agencies are based on a pricing model that incorporates coupon type, prepayment speeds and the type of collateral backing the securities. A discount rate is applied to the cash flows in the model to arrive at the fair value. Market quotes, current yields, and their spreads to benchmark indices are obtained for each type of security. With this data, a yield curve is derived for each category of mortgage backed securities. Each security is priced by discounting the cash flow stream by the appropriate yield found on the yield curve. As the significant inputs used to derive the value of the mortgage-backed securities are observable market inputs, the fair value of these securities are included in the Level 2 fair value hierarchy.
	The Company estimates that fair value approximates carrying value for cash equivalents, rents receivable, prepaid and other assets, and accounts payable due to the relatively short maturity of the instruments.
	Fair Value Measurements:
	The following tables present the Company's assets and liabilities from continuing operations measured at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall:
			Balance		Fair Value Measurements Using
	Description		30-Sep-14		(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)
	Impaired real estate assets		$	6,181,331	$	—	$	—	$	6,181,331
			Balance		Fair Value Measurements Using
	Description		31-Dec-13		(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)
	Impaired real estate assets		$	6,508,394	$	—	$	—	$	6,508,394
	The Company estimates the fair value of its real estate assets by using income and market valuation techniques. The Company may estimate fair values using market information such as broker opinions of value, appraisals, and recent sales data for similar assets or discounted cash flow models, which primarily rely on Level 3 inputs. The cash flow models include estimated cash inflows and outflows over a specified holding period. These cash flows may include contractual rental revenues, projected future rental revenues and expenses and forecasted tenant improvements and lease commissions based upon market conditions determined through discussion with local real estate professionals, experience the Company has with its other owned properties in such markets and expectations for growth. Capitalization rates and discount rates utilized in these models are estimated by management based upon rates that management believes to be within a reasonable range of current market rates for the respective properties based upon an analysis of factors such as property and tenant quality, geographical location and local supply and demand observations. To the extent the Company under estimates forecasted cash outflows (tenant improvements, lease commissions and operating costs) or over estimates forecasted cash inflows (rental revenue rates), the estimated fair value of its real estate assets could be overstated.
	The Company incurred a $200,000 impairment charge during the 9 months ended September 30, 2014. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 the Company incurred an impairment charge of $2,100,000.
	The Company has maintained an interest in the Grove, which originally represented a 20% limited partnership interest in the Grove. Based on four subsequent capital raises through 2009, each of which the Company chose not to participate in, the Company’s share was diluted to approximately 9.99% as of December 31, 2010, and has since been diluted to 9.32%. On March 18, 2011, the Grove’s lender, Prudential Industrial Properties, LLC (“Prudential”), commenced an action against the Grove by filing a complaint in the Circuit Court of Palm Beach County to foreclose upon the Grove property, alleging that the Grove had defaulted on its loan from Prudential and that the Grove was indebted to Prudential in the amount of over $37 million in principal and over $8 million in interest and fees. On September 19, 2013, the Grove was sold, the foreclosure action was dismissed and the Grove’s debt to Prudential was repaid. The investment is held in a taxable REIT subsidiary of the Company with $0 value and the Company has a $1,315,000 deferred tax liability related to the Grove, which represents taxable losses not yet recorded pursuant to the equity method of accounting. Gyrodyne did not receive any distribution in connection with the sale. Under the agreement with the purchaser, Grove may receive certain additional payments if certain development benchmarks are achieved by the purchaser. Gyrodyne cannot predict whether these benchmarks will be achieved or as to the timing or amount of any further distributions by Grove. Gyrodyne does anticipate it will be required to recognize its deferred tax liability during the fourth quarter of 2014.
	The facts and circumstances of the Grove make it unreasonable to present a fair value utilizing a Level 3 methodology, the lowest methodology which allows for broad assumptions; therefore, in accordance with the exception rules for thinly traded/lack of marketability of distressed assets, the Company is not presenting a fair value. The Company is accounting for the investment under the equity method. As of September 30, 2014, the carrying value of the Company’s investment was $0.

Asset Impairment Charges [Text Block]	'
	19	Impairment of Real Estate Investments:
	The Company assesses on a regular basis whether there are any indicators that the carrying value of real estate assets may be impaired. Potential indicators may include an increase in vacancy at a property, tenant reduction in utilization of a property, tenant financial instability and the potential sale of the property in the near future. An asset is determined to be impaired if the asset's carrying value is in excess of its estimated fair value.
	During the second quarter of 2014, the Company recognized aggregate impairment charges of $200,000 on real estate assets classified in continuing operations. The Company has explored the possible disposition of some of its medical properties and determined that the expected undiscounted cash flows based upon revised estimated holding periods of the Port Jefferson Professional Park are below the current carrying value. Accordingly, the Company reduced the carrying value of this property to its estimated fair value. There was no impairment charge during the three months ended September 30, 2014. There was an impairment charge of $2,100,000 incurred during the 9 months ended September 30, 2013.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Revenue recognition – Base rents from rental properties are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases. The excess of rents recognized over amounts contractually due, if any, are included in deferred rents receivable on the Company's balance sheets. Alternatively, rents received in advance of rents recognized, if any, are included in deferred rent liability on the Company’s balance sheet. Certain leases also provide for tenant reimbursements of common area maintenance, other operating expenses and real estate taxes all of which are reported in tenant reimbursements on the consolidated statements of operations. Ancillary and other property related income is recognized in the period earned.
Revenue Recognition, Real Estate Transactions, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Gains on sales of real estate - Gains on sales of real estate are recognized based upon the specific timing of the sale as measured against various criteria related to the terms of the transactions and any continuing involvement associated with the properties. If the sales criteria are not met, the gain is deferred and the finance, installment or cost recovery method, as appropriate, is applied until the sales criteria are met. To the extent GSD sells a property and retains a partial ownership interest in the property, the Company recognizes gain to the extent of the third-party ownership interest.
Discontinued Operations, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Assets Held For Sale and Discontinued Operations- Assets and liabilities of properties that meet various held for sale criteria, including whether it is probable that a sale will occur within 12 months, are presented separately in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as “Assets held for Sale”, with assets and liabilities being separately stated. The operating results of these properties are reflected as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Properties classified as held for sale are carried at the lower of net carrying value or estimated fair value less costs to sell and depreciation and amortization are no longer recognized. Properties that do not meet the held for sale criteria are accounted for as operating properties.
