Hemingway rented a 900-square-foot, one-bedroom unit in the building back in 1959, two years before his suicide in Idaho. His connection to the building has been a recurring detail in brokers’ listings for various units there.

Comedienne Joan Rivers, who is president of the building’s condo board, has been embroiled in legal matters over an alleged Upper East Side “squatter.” [Curbed]Mark Maurer
