NYC Real(i)ty Speak: And the record for most children in lowest square footage goes to....

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
