One-time studio home of Joey Ramone is for sale at the St. Mark

The modest studio that Joey Ramone lived in from the late 1980s until his death in 2001 is now for sale. 

As Curbed first reported, the unit in the St. Mark at 115 E. Ninth St. at Third Avenue asks $575,000, the going rate for the 20-floor doorman building. 

The Yoreevo listing does not mention Ramone by name but includes this in its lead: "This is your chance to literally live like a rockstar! This renovated studio in the heart of the East Village was once home to a punk legend!" 

Joey's brother Mickey Leigh reportedly inherited the studio in 2014 and sold it in 2018. When he renovated the apartment, the new owner found a stash of Joey's papers behind the kitchen cabinets. 

The broker told Curbed that the tenant would pass the memorabilia to the new owner.

    I used to visit the building all the time in the 90s, can't believe he lived there, had no idea. And a studio, they were really cheap back they. He couldn't afford something bigger? The area was different back then, a lot of construction since then. RIP Joey, you still listen to your musuc.
