Overview

  • Dunne submitted an all-cash $1.59 million offer for the three-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom co-op at 345 W. 88th Street in Manhattan’s Upper West Side.
  • After the seller accepted her bid in June, the building’s co-op board rejected her application about three weeks later, just before closing.
  • In a TikTok video, Dunne told followers that residents voted against having her live there and indicated the decision was not based on her financial standing.
  • She and her boyfriend, MLB pitcher Paul Skenes, had already hired an interior designer to prepare the apartment for move-in.
  • The flat, once home to Babe Ruth from 1920 to 1940, remains available on the market following the board’s denial.
