Price chopping this week was through the roof. The very roof some of these owners are trying hard to escape.

Reductions on the city’s most expensive homes’ price tags slowed over the summer. But last week, more than 20 pads in the over-$10 million market were discounted by more than 5 percent, according to data from StreetEasy.

Here’s a look at the biggest price cuts:

180 Sixth Avenue, PHA
Previous Price: $25 million
Current Price: $21 million ($3,972 per square foot)
Percentage Drop: 16 percent

First listed back in 2013 for $28 million, this penthouse just got its second price cut since hitting the market. It’s the largest penthouse in the building, known as One Vandam, and spans 5,286 square feet. It features four bedrooms, a private elevator and an eat-in kitchen. The rooftop level has a 1,400 square foot terrace with a sunken spa.

Once asking $18 million, this 5,500-square-foot co-op has been on and off the market — with various brokerages — since 2013. The four-bedroom home spans the 10th and 11th floors and has a wood-burning fireplace, three juliet balconies and a wood-panelled library.

The Real Deal recently looked at the challenges of selling pricey co-ops on the Upper East Side. Warburg Realty’s Arlene Reed and Andrea Wernick have the listing.
