But while the white-glove apartment building is as fancy as it gets in Manhattan real estate, the building also has a dark side, leading some to believe a curse hangs over the luxury high-rise, as described recently in the New York Post.

The apartment the Obamas are reportedly looking at ranks in the $10 million to $12 million range. And while the couple has to actually wait until the co-op board approves them, it might be a case of renter beware.

A number of high-profile suicides have happened at the address, most recently the author Jean Stein, daughter of entertainment mogul Jules Stein. She was believed to be worth nearly $50 million dollars at the time of her death.

Another celebrity-related death? Carter Cooper, the 23-year-old brother to CNN news anchor Anderson Cooper and son of Gloria Vanderbilt jumped to his death in 1988 after suffering from depression. Anderson later penned an editorial discussing his brother’s suicide.

The address was also home to a notorious murder plot. Frances Schreuder, daughter of auto parts magnate Franklin Bradshaw, schemed to have her father killed so she could access her inheritance.

After several failed attempts, including hiring a hitman and poisoning Bradshaw’s breakfast cereal, Schreuder recruited her son, Marc Schreuder, to masquerade as burglar and shoot his grandfather. In 1978, they carried out the plot.

Two years later, however, Marc was arrested and convicted of the murder. In December 1982, police showed up at Frances’ door. Detectives found her trying to climb out the window. She was later found guilty of capital murder and served 13 years in prison.
