Listed for sale at $90 million, a single family home off Fifth Avenue (a.k.a the Woolworth Mansion) recently set a record for the highest asking price in the city's history. This got us thinking about NYC real-estate record breakers for the other 99% of us, such as:
- Most children in lowest amount of square footage
- Hottest apartment in dead of winter
- Most mice in shortest time period
- Longest amount of time to get board approval for purchase/renovation
- Highest per-square-foot dollar amount for sale + maintenance + renovation
- Longest public school waiting list
- Longest annual shareholders meeting
- Shortest annual shareholders meeting
- Biggest rental concession
- Biggest lie ever told by a real estate agent
- Scariest co-op board interview
