This comes just weeks after a 17-year-old girl jumped to her death 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.
And 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.
