New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman halted all sales at the historic Apthorp on 79th Street in a settlement with the developers over contradictory statements he says they made about the loan on the building. He also fined them $190,000 and they will have to allow buyers who are in contract the opportunity to get their deposits back. Once Schneiderman gets the $190,000, the sales office can open up again.
