Former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani is ready to get rid of his Upper East Side apartment.

Giuliani listed his co-op at 45 East 66th Street for $6.5 million, Business Insider reported. The listing popped up on the market towards the end of July and comes with a complicated history, especially in recent years.

Sotheby’s International Realty’s Serena Boardman has the listing. She didn’t comment on the listing to the publication.

Giuliani purchased the 10th-floor apartment for $4.8 million in 2002. The unit had enormous entertainment potential and it has entertained everything from podcast recordings to federal law enforcement agents when It was raided in 2021 by the FBI during its probe into Giuliani’s activities in Ukraine.

A year after the purchase, Giuliani married Judith Nelson on the lawn of Gracie Mansion. The mayor declined to sign a prenuptial agreement with his third wife, a decision that proved costly 16 years later when they divorced.

Judith reportedly lived in the unit until May 2019. While Giuliani held on to the co-op after the divorce was done, Judith received the dream home in Water Mill, which she promptly sold in 2021 for $5 million.

The three-bedroom, three-bathroom unit includes a wood-burning fireplace, a semi-private elevator landing and it’s located a stone’s throw away from Central Park. Features of the building include a 24-hour doorman and a rule barring construction work during the summer.

Giuliani’s allyship with Donald Trump seems to have landed “America’s Mayor” in hot water. The unit was put up for sale five days before the former president was indicted for his alleged role in the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election. While not explicitly named, it’s widely believed that “co-conspirator 1” the indictment is none other than Giuliani himself.
