It is with great sadness that the family
and friends of Mark “Marky” Iannello
announce his unexpected death from
complications due to Diverticulitis on
February 17th, 2021 in Seaview,
Southfield in the parish of St Elizabeth,
in South Western Jamaica, a
place he loved. Marky was a lifelong
Villager, a third-generation Italian American
resident of Thompson Street,
beloved by all who knew him.
Marky was the quintessential downtown
person working with everyone from The
NY Dolls to Johnny Thunders, to Blondie to Iggy Pop. His well-respected
garden business, Intown Irrigation, created many beautiful rooftop
gardens and he was devoted to the Neighborhood Gardens movement
with a particular love for the Jefferson Market Garden. Marky was an avid
sailor and very involved in TASCA, The American Small Craft Association,
where he was a member and enjoyed introducing people to the
sport. Marky was also a cook, a woodworker, a luthier, and a musician.
He approached everything in his life with great creativity and joy. A more
devoted and loyal friend could not be found. No one loved live performance
more than Marky Ianello. He was all about “the show” and he was
a huge supporter of art, performance, poetry and live music. He will be
deeply missed in the streets of NY, in Provincetown and in Jamaica and
will never be forgotten by all those who he touched.
A funeral mass will be held for Marky at St Joseph’s Catholic
Church, 371 6th Avenue, Marky’s parish church on Saturday April
24th, 2021 at 10AM. Everyone is warmly invited to celebrate Marky’s
singular life. On Sunday April 25th, 2021 on St Mark’s Day, there will
be two masses of intention at 11AM and 6PM.

Manhattan sees city’s
highest number of sales
BY HANNAH MALLARD
RealtyHop released its monthly
New York City price drop report
on April 6, revealing that
neighborhoods in Manhattan saw the
highest number of price drops during
March.
RealtyHop analyzed sales price movements
from March across all of New
York’s boroughs and neighborhoods
to provide useful information for those
looking to invest in real estate during
April.
The monthly report seeks to reveal
New York’s neighborhoods with the
highest total number of price drops by
median percentage, median dollar value
and street address.
During March, the neighborhoods that
saw the highest number of price drops
were all located in Manhattan. Turtle
Bay in East Midtown had the most price
drops at 154, followed closely by the Upper
East Side’s Carnegie Hill with 150
price drops. RealtyHop attributes the
increase of price drops in these neighborhoods
to the picking up of the Manhattan
residential real estate market.

in Mott Haven North saw the largest
price drops, with the median percentage
price drop hitting 23.7%, equaling
a price reduction of $28,000 in dollar
terms.
Neighborhoods in Queens, Manhattan,
Brooklyn and the Bronx made it
on the top fi ve list for the highest median
dollar price drops during March.
Jamaica, Queens saw the highest median
dollar drop of $250,000, translating
to 8.1% of the property’s original
asking price. East Harlem South saw
the second-highest median price drop
in dollar terms with a $156,000 drop
which translates to 9.8% of the property’s
asking price within the preceding
31 days.
RealtyHop’s report also includes the
top fi ve addresses still on the market
with the highest percentage price drops
and the highest dollar price drops in
March. 59 John St., a penthouse condominium
unit in Manhattan’s Financial
District, had an enormous price reduction
of 48.2% or $2,050,000 in dollar
terms and is now listed for $2,200,000.
8 East 62nd St., an almost 15 thousand
square-foot, six-story limestone
mansion, saw the highest dollar price
drop in March of $10 million, or 15.4%
of the listing’s previous asking price.
The property can now be yours for a
great steal of $55 million!
