Living in New York City requires a constant negotiation between what we owe our neighbors and what our neighbors owe us. In an ideal world, you and your neighbor would have a mutual understanding about why it's good for everyone to keep a clean building, but if she is indeed hoarding then it's hard to imagine she's able to give you what she can't even give herself. This is a pickle.

More often than not, our listing stories are flights of fancy. And what's more fanciful than a 27-room maisonette with an invented Park Avenue address? Or maybe your tastes veer toward penthouse living - how about one with a deliciously long 160-foot terrace (useful as a dog run)? Readers also spent time with oddities that demanded explanation, from the bubblelike windows on a Lenox Hill townhouse to a 50-foot skybridge between towers on East 78th Street.

The Waldorf Astoria in New York City reopened in July after an eight-year, $2 billion restoration. Residents of its new luxury condominiums gain access to exclusive amenities such as the Empire Club. The business center and lounge features private offices, curated artwork, and 24-hour room service. At the Empire Club, a luxe business center and lounge open only to Waldorf Astoria residents, the hotel's 24/7 room service means you never have to label your lunch in the office fridge.

A few years ago, private-equity firm SC Hospitality took over a tennis club in the Hamptons and added pickleball and padel courts and a restaurant overseen by Billy Durney, the chef behind the upscale burger joint Red Hook Tavern. A number of new families joined, the club began hosting Sunday cookouts, and Daniel Haimovic, SC's chairman, started spending a lot of the summer there with his family, including his two elementary-school-age kids, who played tennis, padel, pickleball, and basketball at the club.

CB2's Land Use Committee voted against the proposal for the 27-story development, which would rise from a landmarked Fort Greene church. After more than a year of speculation about the future of the landmarked Hanson Place Central United Methodist Church in Fort Greene, plans are now clear: The owners want to use the church's shell as the base of a 27-story, 240-unit apartment tower that would rise beside the iconic Williamsburgh Savings Bank Tower.
