UPPER EAST SIDE, NY — An Upper East Side medical building is at risk of foreclosure after its lenders accused its owners of being more than a year behind on mortgage payments, Crain's New York Business reported.

According to Crain's, the building, which is located at 162 E. 78th St. near Lexington Avenue, is a townhouse-style medical office building two blocks from Lenox Hill Hospital, and it is less than half full of tenants, who include gynecologists, physical therapists and psychologists.

In a lawsuit filed last Wednesday in Manhattan Supreme Court, the group of investors — Blackstone, for one — accused the two owners, Feil Organization and Rosen Equities, of defaulting on a $9 million loan after not making payments since February 2024, Crain's reported.
