Livvy Dunne, a former LSU gymnast and social media influencer, was rejected by the co-op board of a New York City apartment building when she attempted to purchase a historic residence once owned by baseball legend Babe Ruth. The apartment, located at 345 West 88th Street on Manhattan's Upper West Side, is a seventh-floor, three-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom prewar unit built in 1915. Dunne reportedly offered nearly $1.6 million in cash for the property, but the co-op board voted against her application, effectively blocking her from buying the apartment. Reports suggest that Dunne's publicizing of her purchase attempt on social media may have influenced the board's decision. The rejection highlights the discretionary power of co-op boards in New York City, which can decide who is allowed to become an owner in their buildings.
