need cash for The National

I do admit that upwards of $ 3500-5500 in rent for a place on 72nd is rather pricey so Bruce must make some money...if you all want to pop by and see his collection he is located at 72nd. He will have to let you in though...no walk ins .

How much ya wanna bet the apartment is rent controlled?

Sadly, $3500-$5500 for an apartment on the UES is nothing. Maybe a decent one bedroom. Crazy how expensive Manhattan is. And I believe that an apartment can't be rent controlled once it's rent is 2K a month and the renter earns more than 175K a year.

Thank Leon. That comment about kids was truly disturbing.

Who says the renter earns more than $175k/year? I'll lay odds it's rent controlled.

I remember that Alastair Cooke was still living in his rent-controlled apartment on Park Avenue when he died. He was paying some outrageously low rent. Wouldn't you think he was making more than $175k?

David- my apartment is rent stabilized, and I've had it for 37 years.

Rent stabilization and rent control are two different things.

Shows you what I know! (We own.) However it happens, though, I'm willing to bet Bruce is not paying market rates. (And, for all we know, it may be a one-bedroom, too.)
