building at 301 East 52nd Street

be very careful regarding the maintenance. i think the ones listed involve seller rebates. look at the maintenance for similarly sized units that used to be on the market. building seems way too small and inexpensive for those levels. nothing has sold in years here.

seller rebates? what's that?
When I look at places 1500-1900sq/ft cc always seem to be 2400-3200/mo. It's a rare find that's below those kind of charges. Not impossible but, rare, am I wrong?
Do you mean the building is too small for that maintence?

from unit 1C, maint. listed at $3600 a month, a bit larger lower floor, taken off the market. can't hurt to ask, but i'd say yes the building seems small and not desirable enough for that maintenance.

Does this building have a mold problem?
The New York Times October 15, 2006
“The case was brought by Colin and Pamela Fraser on behalf of themselves and their daughter, Alexandra, against the 301-52 Townhouse Corporation, which owned their co-op building. The Frasers contended that mold near windows and doors in their apartment caused respiratory problems, a rash and fatigue. The Frasers said that after moving into an apartment at 301 East 52nd Street in August 1996, Mr. Fraser developed a leg rash, lethargy and congestion and hearing, nasal and throat problems and Mrs. Fraser and their infant daughter developed respiratory problems.
The couple said their conditions improved when the family moved out of the apartment in 2002.”

The lower court found there was no evidence to link the Frasers' alleged physical injuries to any mold in their apartment, and that finding was affirmed on appeal.

I'm happy to report that that particular apartment (involved in the "mold" case) has now transferred to a lovely couple who plan on renovating the apartment.

I was the buyer agent for the apartment. Lots of twists and turns but all's well in the end.

One can only imagine what aboutready said that got it deleted.
