The six-story house set a record for single-family homes on the Upper West Side three years ago when it sold for $22.375 million to a Ukrainian investor and fertilizer magnate, Igor Iankovsky — he never moved in.

Iankovsky initially listed the building as a $110,000-per-month rental, before putting it back on the market for $32.7 million, last year. It failed to attract a buyer.
