146 East 63rd Street, Manhattan

The Barbizon's public record reads clean — the story is what's happening on the sidewalk in 2025.

140 East 63rd is the old Barbizon Hotel for Women (1928) — Sylvia Plath, Grace Kelly, Liza Minnelli all lived here before it converted to condo in 2005. 86 units, prewar bones, and a public record that's almost spotless. Three things to know:

Street complaints exploded this year, not gradually. Encampment, homeless-assistance, and panhandling 311 calls from this address: 3 in 2021, 1 each in 2022/23/24 — then 170 in 2025 alone. That's not a chronic Lex-and-63rd issue, it's an acute one that landed this year. Most recent: October 2025. Walk the block before you sign.

Carnegie Hall Corporation is still selling units here. Carnegie historically bought Barbizon units to house touring musicians. In September 2025 they sold one for $5.125M — a tail-end divestment from the era when this building doubled as artist housing. The building's character is changing on the deed record in real time.

Ricky Gervais and Jane Fallon sold 9B in September 2025. $1.4M to Barbizon 9B LLC on 2025-09-15. Earlier that year, in March 2025, another unit went to CitiMortgage as referee for $1,000 — a foreclosure on the record. Two very different exits from the same building in the same year.

Quieter signals on this building and the blocks around it:

• Only 5 DOB violations ever filed on the building, zero active — unusually clean for a 1928 condo of this size.
• HPD record is effectively empty: 0 open, 2 lifetime. Consistent with a condo where issues route through the board, not the city.
• Two construction lead-dust 311 calls hint at recent unit renovations disturbing prewar paint — worth asking about if you're buying with kids.
