Livvy Dunne reveals why she was denied purchasing Babe Ruth’s former apartment

Livvy Dunne, the LSU gymnast turned social media sensation, recently shared with her 8 million TikTok followers that she was blocked from buying a $1.59 million Upper West Side apartment once owned by Babe Ruth—not because she couldn’t afford it, but because the building’s co-op board rejected her application. Turns out, Manhattan co-ops have notoriously strict approval processes, and even cash and fame don’t guarantee a yes.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about a viral TikTok—it’s a peek into how exclusive (and sometimes arbitrary) NYC real estate can be. Co-op boards have the power to reject buyers for vague reasons, and Dunne’s experience highlights how even high-profile buyers aren’t immune. For anyone who’s ever dreamed of snagging a piece of NYC history, it’s a reality check wrapped in a celebrity story.
