There's an entire Flickr set of photos designed to make you boil over with envy on this fine summer day, it's called: Rich People Rooftops NYC. While they are all lacking a Ronald McDonald--gardens, hot tubs, patio furniture and multi-level luxury are all present and accounted for in the rooftop wonderlands. Too bad there's not an aerial shot of the roof house on 13th and 3rd, but these images will probably stir up enough jealousy for one day. [via Curbed]




I work on the 18th floor of a building in Tirbeca/Soho and stare out the window sometime in envy of all the nice rooftop set-ups I see.
I hope all of them are legal and to code.
I've asked a guy who just put in a sunlight if he had a DOB work permit, he responded no because his neighbors did it too. of course, this was in money rich Tribeca but it's close, The Bowery.
