No one wants to live in this $14.5M apartment in the Dakota

It’s baaaack. Apartment 46 in The Dakota — the iconic co-op building at 72nd Street and Central Park West — has been on and off the market for over eight years. Guess what? It’s on again for $14.5 million.

But, even if you have the cash, you might not have a chance at apartment 46. The Dakota co-op board is famously picky: it has denied everyone from Billy Joel to Judd Apatow to Madonna.

Yoko Ono still lives in the building where John Lennon was murdered, and it holds dual titles as New York’s most exclusive and unusual address.

Craig Schiller and Meredith Specht hold the listing.

Built in 1882, the four bedroom, three-and-a-half bathroom apartment hit the market eight years ago for 19.5 million.
