Overview

• Dunne and boyfriend Paul Skenes submitted an all-cash offer on the three-bedroom, 2½-bath unit at 345 W. 88th Street but had their application rejected about three weeks after initial acceptance.
• Listing agent Miryam Tesfaegzi confirmed co-op boards are not required to disclose reasons for denying prospective buyers, underscoring the opaque approval process.
• The Upper West Side apartment, known for its prewar features and Babe Ruth’s 1920–1940 residency, is back on the market following the board’s veto.
• Dunne insists the rejection was not financial and suggests her high-profile TikTok presence or public figure status may have influenced the residents’ vote.
• The episode illustrates tensions between social-media influence and long-standing, resident-driven gatekeeping in Manhattan co-op ownership.
