Very low turnover, or is ACRIS missing info?

it's a 12 unit bld, typically people move in and get carted out. it's no surprise that there aren't many sales.

Rarefied air, that. My computer system says it co-op'd in 1949. You might enjoy this piece from realestalker:

Thanks! What a great article! So there clearly has been some turnover. I just wonder how they keep it out of the records? There are few other buildings like 820 that have no info in the 'official' sources (635 & 660 Park are others I'm researching).

ACRIS has co-op sales only from 2004. There's also a spreadsheet of 2003 sales on the Finance website.

820 had two sales in 2003: 8th floor in February for $15,000,000, and 4th floor in October for $18,000,000.

Thanks front_porch great new blog to read.

Very useful to know that co-op sales are only recorded post-2004. Agree with ab_11218 -- that crowd typically moves in and is carried out. No need to try to flip their current place if the market is rising. In the same apt since 1956. A rarity in NYC.

Aaron, if you haven't read the absolutely hilarious book on NY real estate, "The Sky's The Limit", by Steven Gaines, go do so. There's a section on 820 Fifth Avenue and the personages who have inhabited it.

Ali, when did the Dakota go co-op?

Happy Holidays!

Be careful -- realestalker is VERY addictive.

Dakota conversion was '61 I believe.

Thanx, Ali. '61 was before 'Rosemary's Baby'.
