The 5,000-square-foot co-op at 115 Central Park West, with four bedrooms and four terraces, was sold by Malkemus’s husband and business partner, Anthony Yurgaitis, for $14.5 million. He originally listed the place for $25 million in 2021, shortly after Malkemus’s death.

The buyers were Shirley Sarna, the former head of New York’s consumer protection bureau, and her husband, Steven Nelson, an arts patron.
