There are over 170 units in the building, 8 are for sale....would you call that "tons?" A few of them have been sitting on the market for several months now. Considering the market and loss of jobs/income, this is nothing.

Yeah, I have to say, there are always a good number of apartments for sale in that building... and a similar one on 11th.

I think they are mostly smaller apartments, and its a NYU-heavy area, so I think you're talking a lot of short-term buyers.

really? these are not nyu type people spending $800,000 for a 1 bedroom. 111 4th is a really hot building and its too bad.

TONS of buildings in the area allow for buying for children...

Also 4% flip tax on profit to seller.

This is a high-end, beautifully maintained coop--very difficult to get into...debt to income below 30% is a must...

Would that not be illagal?

'no parent guarantors' is not illegal. if a student has the cash and income to buy for themself, they'll let them in,.

I looked at several apartments in this building in '06 and '07 and there most certainly are a number of students in the building. Some had their parents buy the apartment and they lived in it and other subletted from other owners. It also has a bit of a strange layout, where you have to go through a "maze" to get to the 2nd half of the building, which also gives it a bit of a "dorm-like" feel.

the reason for the for numbers increasing is that nyu just finished a dorm that wipes out the views in half of the building. the values will be there accordingly.

Apparently a big chunk of the rear facade fell off in the storm today.

I can't get the video to play so it's hard to tell how bad it is.

Bricks wall is intact fortunately. It is really the Stucco / plaster like layer on top of bricks which came down. Guessing there was some water penetration for a while. Back of the building towards NYU dorm. Fortunately no one hurt but a few cars got damaged.
