which apt. was the murder?

The Board of Managers, probably without the input of the Unit owners.

Re; The murder: Call "Ghosthunters, if any problems with hauntings.

Yesterday June 6th 2012, Aljulah Cutts, 30, of The Bronx was convicted of murdering Guido Felix Brinkmann on July 30th 2009.
It happened in Apartment 4-H, which is now up for sale for the first time by the sponsor or by someone who bought it from the sponsor on spec with the tenant in place. Mr. Brinkmann was a 1970s rent stabilized tenant with a parking space included in his rent; he never bought when the building went co-op in the early 1980s.
Do you think the real estate brokers are going to mention the murder to all prospective buyers?

I also wonder if the building has upgraded their security cameras as certainly more unconcealed and obvious cameras might have deterred this murder. In this doorman building, after killing Mr. Brinkmann the murderer dragged Mr.Brinkmann's unopened safe out of the apartment,down the back staircase from the 4th floor to the unmanned basement garage, lifted the safe into Mr. Brinkmann's car and easily drove out of the building.

Wow. What an update and a good question,10065nyc.

The doorman needs to be keeping an eye on the security cameras which he can't do if he's busy on his laptop.
But that's a point I made on another discussion thread.

Looks like the asking price is getting murdered.

if the apt. sells for north of 300k, Id be surprised.
its listed as a "wreck", not sure what kind of politically correct word that is for some place that had such a tortured murder of a Holocaust survivor.
it will need minimum 50k for a decent gut rehab.
between the owner paying $1450/month and the coop board, you would think they would want someone in there to get this behind them asap.

why has it taken this long to get to market? because of the trial?
the defense and DA really took their time getting the trial going, almost 3 years.

They've been waiting for huntersburg to get his show "Ghosthuntersburg" on the air.

He went over there last week with a night vision camera and lots of gadgets.

Murder is no joke, but I'm not kidding about the possibility that the place has a bad feeling/vibe.
and maybe a ghost scares the super when he goes in there.

the producers of "Ghosthunters" told me that they are contacted by Manhattan residents but can't investigate because the co-op boards won't allow them into the building. Even if they don't identify the address or film the exterior of the building on the show.

One must always keep in mind to put a positive spin in a negative situation.

For example, there was a recent suicide in our building, the resident jumping from a high floor apartment & landing on the street below.

After the estate was settled & the unit put up for sale, one of the features touted in the ad was,

"Just steps to the Avenue...especially if you take the window!"

It sold within one month.

See?

Like the old saying goes: When life gives you lemons - make lemonade...or even Twinkies! They'll work fine as well!

I'm surprised that looneytune hasn't added more irrelevance to this back-from-the-dead thread.

I guess mine was more than enough!

It would be interesting to know what a murder discount would be and how that discount shrinks over time.

At the same rate as the residual DNA.

P.S: LOL at "Murder Discount"!

I can see the ad already:

BLOODY GOOD DEAL! DROP DEAD KILLER VIEWS TO DIE FOR! GREAT BONES! LET'S CUTT A DEAL!!!

That's right, folks - this is the one you should take a stab at! Beautiful type O positive ochre stained floors, featuring unique inlaid chalk outline design.
A must for the discriminating CSI fan. Act now...before it goes cold!

>BLOODY GOOD DEAL! DROP DEAD KILLER VIEWS TO DIE FOR! GREAT BONES! LET'S CUTT A DEAL!!!

Hysterical. And you didn't even have to throw in a FLMAOZz to make me laugh.

Glad you enjoyed it. Let the bidding begin!

I need to correct ,my previous posting as i have since found out through official records that the murder occurred in 4D. I have requested Streeteasy administrator to remove my misinformation posted 3 months ago. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

>Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

No worry, murder here, murder there, what's it to you?

after the murder, the building can sell this unit and make profit. does any opne suspect a link here?

After the bludgeon murder at 965 Fifth, the neighbors bought the apartment, combined with theirs, and resold a few years later: http://streeteasy.com/nyc/sale/691382-coop-965-fifth-avenue-upper-east-side-new-york
