98 Riverside Drive

I love riverside drive..good luck

Just going by the data, it looks like the folks who bought the building a year ago may have done a bit of subtle warehousing in anticipation of a condo conversion. The rent roll is probably weak, and the climate for a conversion couldn't be worse. I don't know where this one is headed, but the European bankers who funded the purchase are not a happy bunch these days. You might wind up sending your rent check to Mainz, by way of a local managing agent.

That said, the owners' anguish may represent an opportunity for a savvy renter. Just do your homework and negotiate aggressively.

As for the building, I don't think I've ever been inside. I've passed it a million times on the way to River Run Playground. The entrance isn't exactly inviting.
