NYC girl, 17, jumps to her death from top of nine-story Upper East Side apartment building

A 17-year-old New York City girl jumped to her death Sunday from the top of an nine-story apartment building on Manhattan's Upper East Side. 

The teenager, who has yet to be identified, jumped to her death from the eighth floor of an East 82nd Street apartment building at around 12:54 p.m. 

She was pronounced dead soon after, according to authorities. 

The apartment - just a few blocks away from Central Park - has co-ops that have sold for as much as $5million recently.

The building is just off of Park Avenue and lined with trees down the block, according to StreetEasy. 

Built in 1912, the nine-story, 34-unit building was converted into a cooperative back in 1983. 

The building has a full-time doorman, live-in superintendent and a central laundry room. 

The alleged suicide comes as a string of people have plunged to their deaths in New York City.

In late October, a man jumped to his death from the 12th floor of a luxury New York City building near Central Park. 

The Bed Bath & Beyond CFO Gustavo Arnal, 52, also jumped to his own death in Tribeca in early September.

His death came as the company announced plans to close 150 stores, of its roughly 900, and lay off 20 percent of staff just two days before Arnal's death.

He jumped from 56 Leonard Street, the famous 'Jenga' tower in Manhattan's Tribeca neighborhood, on September 2. Apartments go for up to $50million inside the 57-story building.

A 40-year-old woman also jumped in late September from 157 East 57th Street in the Sutton Place neighborhood.

A woman was found with injuries that were consistent with a fall, she was pronounced dead at the scene.

The source did not identify the woman. A salesperson at Bassano Jewelry, just down the block from where the tragedy unfolded, told DailyMail.com that the building at 157, 57th Street, is known as 'the suicide building.'
