A 62-year-old man died Thursday afternoon after jumping from a co-op building on Manhattan‘s Upper East Side that has seen similar Incidents since it was first built in the 1930s, according to the New York Post.

Officers responding to 10 Gracie Square in the Yorkville neighborhood found the man on scaffolding outside the building around 2:30 p.m., as reported by authorities. Emergency medical workers arrived shortly after officers first discovered the man. He was pronounced dead on the scene.

The man’s identity was not immediately released. Police did not say whether he lived in the building. An investigation remained ongoing, and the medical examiner’s office will determine the official cause of death.

The 15-story building, constructed in 1931, is a short walk from Gracie Mansion, the mayor’s official residence. The building is known for its East River views and a private driveway. Former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama were interested in an apartment there in 2017, with the unit reportedly priced between $8 million and $10 million, though the couple ultimately chose not to purchase the property.

The building’s former residents have included socialite Brooke Astor, media executive Steve Ross and Madame Chiang Kai-shek, the exiled former first lady of the Republic of China. Author Tom Wolfe cited it as one of just 42 “good buildings” in New York City.

However, despite the history associated with the building, 10 Gracie Square has more than a few concerning incidents on its premises. In 1988, Carter Cooper, son of fashion designer and heiress Gloria Vanderbilt, brother of CNN anchor Anderson Cooper, jumped to his death from a penthouse that his mother owned in the building. Police said at the time there had been no conflict or argument between Cooper and his mother before he jumped. He was 23.

“Thirty years ago today, before my eyes, I lost Carter Cooper. My son. My life. My hope. In the years since, his brother, my beloved Anderson, has been by my side, giving me love and strength.”

In April 2017, author and heiress Jean Stein died after falling from her 15th-floor penthouse in the same building. Stein, 83, was found dead on an eighth-floor balcony around 10:35 a.m., and paramedics pronounced her dead at the scene as well.

The building was also the site of a notorious murder plot in 1982, when resident Frances Schreuder was arrested there on charges of conspiring with her teenage son to kill her father, a wealthy Utah businessman. She was later convicted and served 13 years in prison.

The string of incidents has fed a perception among some real estate observers that the address carries a curse. “I don’t know of any buildings with two suicides,” Dolly Lenz, CEO of Dolly Lenz Real Estate, has said, adding that it “almost says that there is a cloud on the building.”
