Item 3.   Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

          As of the date hereof, AHI is deemed to directly beneficially own
          an aggregate of 636 Units (the "AHI Units").  Of such Units, AHI
          acquired 48 Units pursuant to an offer to purchase up to 4.9% of
          the outstanding Units (the "AHI Offer") commenced on November 29,
          1996 (and terminated on December 6, 1996) for an aggregate
          purchase price of $15,600 (net of related expenses) and 588 Units
          pursuant to the Krescent Tender Offer (as hereinafter defined)
          for an aggregate purchase price of $217,560 (net of related
          expenses).  AHI obtained all of the funds used to acquire the AHI
          Units from working capital derived from capital contributions
          from its partners.  None of such funds were borrowed.  As used
          herein, "Krescent Tender Offer" refers to a tender offer to
          purchase up to 25% of the outstanding Units originally commenced
          by Krescent Partners L.L.C. and AP-GP Prom Partners, Inc. as
          co-bidders (collectively, "Krescent").  Krescent filed a Tender
          Offer Statement on Schedule 14D-1 with respect to the Krescent
          Tender Offer with the Commission on  November 21, 1996 (as
          amended and supplemented, the "Krescent Schedule 14D-1").  AHI,
          the AHI General Partner and API joined the Krescent Tender Offer
          as co-bidders on January 10, 1997.  Krescent is not affiliated
          with any of the Reporting Persons.

          Longacre is deemed to directly beneficially own 20 Units.  Such
          Units were acquired in auction transactions through the Chicago
          Partnership Board for an aggregate purchase price of $3,020 (net
          of related expenses).  Longacre obtained the funds to purchase
          such Units from its working capital.  None of such funds were
          borrowed or otherwise obtained for the purpose of acquiring
          Units.

Item 4.   Purpose of Transaction

          Each of the Reporting Persons acquired beneficial ownership of
          Units for investment purposes based on its expectation that there
          may be underlying value in the real estate properties owned by
          the Issuer.  Each of the Reporting Persons retains the right,
          however, to change such investment intent, to acquire further
          Units or to sell or otherwise dispose of all or part of the Units
          beneficially owned by such Reporting Persons in any manner
          permitted by law and in conformity with their obligations under
          the LFG Standstill Agreement and the Assumption Agreement as
          described below in Item 6 and incorporated by reference herein.

          Although the foregoing currently reflects the present plans and
          intentions of the Reporting Persons, the foregoing is subject to
          change at any time.  The Reporting Persons will, on an on-going
          basis, continue to evaluate their investment in the Issuer. 

Item 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer

          (a) and (b)

          As of the date hereof, AHI, the AHI General Partner, API and Mr.
          Icahn are deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 636 Units,
          representing approximately 2.5% of the 25,000 Units stated to be
          outstanding by the Issuer in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
          for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 (the "Form 10-Q").  AHI
          is deemed to be the direct beneficial owner, and the AHI General
          Partner, API and Mr. Icahn are deemed to be the indirect
          beneficial owners of these 636 Units.  AHI, the AHI General
          Partner, API and Mr. Icahn have sole power to direct the vote and
          sole power to direct the disposition of these Units.  

          As of the date hereof, Longacre and Mr. Icahn are deemed to
          beneficially own 20 Units, representing 1.1% of the outstanding
          Units (based upon the Form 10-Q).  Longacre is deemed to be the
          direct beneficial owner and Mr. Icahn is deemed to be the
          indirect beneficial owner of these Units.  Longacre and Mr. Icahn
          have sole power to direct the vote and sole power to direct the
          disposition of these Units.  

          The 656 Units of which Mr. Icahn is deemed to be the indirect
          beneficial owner represent 2.6% of the outstanding Units (based
          upon the Form 10-Q).

          The Reporting Persons  may be deemed to constitute a "group" with
          Krescent for purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities
          Exchange Act (the "Exchange Act").  Except as described in Item
          6, however, there is no agreement or understanding among the
          Reporting Persons and Krescent with respect to the purchase, sale
          or voting, or refraining from purchasing, selling, or voting,
          Units of the Issuer.

          Neither the filing of this Schedule 13D nor any of its contents
          shall be deemed an admission that the Reporting Persons are part
          of a "group" with Krescent or that the Reporting Persons are the
          beneficial owners of any of the Units held by Krescent.  The
          Reporting Persons expressly disclaim formation of a "group" with
          Krescent and the Reporting Persons expressly disclaim beneficial
          ownership of any of Krescent's Units.

     (c)  Except for the purchase of Units pursuant to the AHI Offer and
          the Krescent Tender Offer, neither the Reporting Persons, the
          executive officers and directors listed in Item 2, nor any of
          their affiliates, have effected any transaction in Units within
          the past 60 days.

     (d)  The Reporting Persons have no knowledge of any other persons who
          might have the right to receive or the power to direct the
          receipt of distributions from, or the proceeds from the sale of,
          any Units beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons.

Item 6.   Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With
          Respect to Securities of the Issuer

          The information set forth in Item 3, Item 4 and Item 5 above is
          hereby incorporated by reference herein.  

          Pursuant to an Assumption Agreement dated January 8, 1997 between
          AHI and Liquidity Financial Group, L.P. ("LFG"), AHI agreed to
          become bound by the restrictions set forth in the Settlement
          Agreement and Release, dated June 27, 1996, between LFG and The
          Krupp Corporation ("Krupp"), as amended as of October 8, 1996 and
          January 6, 1997 (the "LFG Standstill Agreement"), insofar as they
          relate to the Issuer and certain other limited partnerships
          sponsored by Krupp.  As a result, AHI agreed that, prior to the
          Standstill Expiration Date (as defined in the LFG Standstill
          Agreement) it will not and it will cause certain affiliates not
          to (i) acquire, attempt to acquire or make a proposal to acquire,
          directly or indirectly, more than 25% of the outstanding Units,
          (ii) propose or propose to enter into, directly or indirectly,
          any merger, consolidation, business combination, sale or
          acquisition of assets, liquidation, dissolution or other similar
          transaction involving the Issuer, (iii) make, or in any way
          participate, directly or indirectly, in any solicitation of
          "proxies" or "consents" (as such terms are used in the proxy
          rules of the Commission) to vote, or seek to advise or influence
          any person with respect to the voting of any voting securities of
          the Issuer, (iv) form, join or otherwise participate in a "group"
          (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) with
          respect to any voting securities of the Issuer unless each member
          of such group agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of the
          LFG Standstill Agreement, provided, however, that those
          affiliates bound by the LFG Standstill Agreement will not be
          deemed to be acting in a "group" in violation of it solely by
          virtue of voting in compliance with the LFG Standstill Agreement,
          (v) sell, transfer or assign any Units to any person or entity
          not bound by the terms and conditions of the LFG Standstill
          Agreement, or (vi) loan money to, advise, assist or encourage any
          person in connection with any action restricted or prohibited by
          the terms of the LFG Standstill Agreement.  Longacre and Krupp
          are parties to a standstill agreement (the "Longacre Standstill
          Agreement") containing terms similar to those described above
          relating to a number of limited partnerships sponsored by Krupp. 
          Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Assumption
          Agreement, Longacre and Krupp amended the Longacre Standstill
          Agreement to delete the Issuer from the schedule of partnerships
          covered thereby.

          In anticipation of AHI, the AHI General Partner and API becoming
          co-bidders in the Krescent Tender Offer, AHI and its partners, on
          the one hand, and Krescent and its members, on the other, entered
          into a letter agreement, dated as of January 8, 1997 (the
          "Krescent-AHI Agreement"), relating to the conduct of the
          Krescent Tender Offer and the purchase by AHI of 41.8% of the
          Units tendered pursuant thereto.  The Krescent-AHI Agreement also
          provides, among other things, that (I) if, after the exercise
          and/or expiration of all outstanding options or other rights to
          acquire an interest in Krescent, the direct and indirect
          percentage ownership interest of Apollo Real Estate Investment
          Fund II, L.P. and its affiliates (the "Apollo Group") in Krescent
          exceed 83.6%, then AHI will be entitled to purchase additional
          Units from Krescent so that, after giving effect to such
          purchase, the total percentage of Units purchased by AHI from
          Krescent equals 50% of such percentage interest of the Apollo
          Group in Krescent; and (ii) each of AHI and Krescent has the
          right to initiate a buy/sell procedure at any time after the
          first anniversary of the expiration of the Krescent Tender Offer
          (January 31, 1998) and so long as AHI and Krescent (and/or their
          respective affiliates) own at least 2% of the outstanding Units. 
          The buy/sell procedures provide that either AHI or Krescent may
          offer to buy Units from the other and the other must either sell
          such Units to the offering party or buy the offering party's
          Units at a purchase price per Unit and on such other terms and
          conditions as set forth in the initiating party's offer.  The
          Krescent-AHI Agreement also contains indemnification provisions
          pursuant to which the parties agree to indemnify each other in
          respect to any material misstatements or omissions in certain
          information provided by each of them in connection with the
          Krescent Schedule 14D-1 and the offer materials relating to the
          AHI Offer.

          The discussion herein of the LFG Standstill Agreement, the
          Assumption Agreement and the Krescent-AHI Agreement is subject to
          and qualified in its entirety by reference to such agreements, 
          which were filed as exhibits to the Krescent Schedule 14D-1 and
          are incorporated herein by reference.

          Except as described above, the Reporting Persons do not have any
          contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships with
          respect to any securities of the Issuer.
