An NYC Co-Op Board Voted To Block Livvy Dunne From Purchasing An Apartment In Their Building That Was Once Owned By Babe Ruth

Fox Business - Livvy Dunne was en route to making her "first real estate purchase," but at the 11th hour, she was "denied" from doing so.
In a recent TikTok video, Dunne and her boyfriend, MLB pitching phenom Paul Skenes, were interested in an apartment in New York City.
"But the gag was, it was Babe Ruth's apartment," Dunne revealed.
"So naturally, like, I'm telling everybody. I'm excited. I was gonna buy it. I was gonna pay with cash," Dunne continued. "Like, I wanted this apartment bad. It got to the point where the relator was so confident, Paul and I went, I got an interior designer because I didn't want to bring my college furniture to Babe Ruth's apartment. That would be, like, criminal." However, she was thrown a curveball.
"Then, the week that I'm supposed to get my keys to my brand new apartment, I get a call - the co-op board denied me. So pretty much, the people in the [board] voted to not have me live there… Maybe they didn't want a public figure living there. But I was literally supposed to get the keys, and that week, they denied me. It was just iconic. It was so cool that it was Babe Ruth's apartment."
The three-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom apartment is located at 345 W. 88th Street in Manhattan and was last purchased in 2016 for $1.58 million and hit the market back in March.

Ruth lived there for several years, beginning in 1929, while playing for the Yankees, before moving near the West Side Highway.

Imagine saying no to Livvy Dunne on literally anything?

She could ask me to drain every drop of blood in my body, and I would ask her, "Where are the razor blades?"

She could send me one of those prince from Africa emails needing my bank account information and I'd say, "Here, just take all my debit cards."

She could ask me to pull the plug on a family member, and I'd have to give it some serious thought.

The point is, how do you refuse anything to a face like this?

Whoops. My apologies. Meant to post this.

Part of me kind of respects those old-crotchety fucks who think they're better than everybody else and see nothing wrong with casting judgement on who can and can't live under the same roof as them.

I get the appeal of wanting to say you live in the same place as The Great Bambino and all, but fuck that Livvy. This is a blessing in disguise. These losers did you a favor by denying you. Just imagine how miserable they'd make your life, coming and going on a daily basis, monthly meetings, making too much noise, "your dog looked at some lady the wrong way", and other bullshit like that that old miserable people do when they're so bored they have nothing better to do.

I have the perfect solution for you. I have an extra bedroom in my place in Streeterville in Chicago. You can stay for free and I'll even help you move in. My treat. Just because I'm a gentleman like that. Let me know.

p.s.- if this is a precursor to Paul Skenes to the Yankees in the near future, excuse me while I puke in my mouth
