Sutton Place co-op legends

Many old New York City buildings come with their share of urban legends, and the 40-story co-op at 56th Street and Sutton Place is no exception. It’s believed the rooftop pool closes after dark because residents used to go skinny-dipping at night, and emergency doors to the 40th floor are chained shut because penthouse dwellers don’t want people on their hallway carpets.
