Item 2.        Management's Discussion and Analysis of
               Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

               (1)  Liquidity

                     As  of  March 31, 1999, Registrant  had  cash  of
$44,178.   Cash  generated from operations is used primarily  to  fund
operating  expenses  and  debt service.  If cash  flow  proves  to  be
insufficient,   the   Registrant  will  attempt  to   negotiate   loan
modifications with the various lenders in order to remain  current  on
all  obligations.   The  Registrant is not  aware  of  any  additional
sources of liquidity.

                     As  of  March 31, 1999, Registrant had restricted
cash  of  $141,321  consisting primarily of  funds  held  as  security
deposits,  replacement reserves and escrows for taxes  and  insurance.
As  a  consequence of the restrictions as to use, Registrant does  not
deem these funds to be a source of liquidity.

                     In  recent  years  the  Registrant  has  realized
significant losses, including the foreclosure of one property, due  to
the  inability of the properties owned by the Registrant  to  generate
sufficient cash flow to pay their operating expenses and debt service.
At  the  present  time Registrant has feasible loan  modifications  in
place  for its three properties: Lincoln Court, Green Street  and  the
Loewy  Building.   However,  in all three  cases,  the  mortgages  are
basically  "cash-flow" mortgages, requiring all available  cash  after
payment of operating expenses to be paid to the first mortgage holder.
Therefore,  it  is  unlikely that any cash will be  available  to  the
Registrant to pay its general and administrative expenses.

                     It  is the Registrant's intention to continue  to
hold  the  properties until they can no longer meet the  debt  service
requirements and the properties are foreclosed, or the market value of
the  properties increases to a point where they can be sold at a price
which  is  sufficient to repay the underlying indebtedness  (principal
plus accrued interest).

               (2)  Capital Resources

                     Any  capital  expenditures needed  are  generally
replacement  items  and  are funded out of  cash  from  operations  or
replacement  reserves, if any.  The Registrant is  not  aware  of  any
factors  which would cause historical capital expenditures levels  not
to be indicative of capital requirements in the future and accordingly
does  not  believe that it will have to commit material  resources  to
capital investment in the foreseeable future.  If the need for capital
expenditures does arise, the first mortgage holder for Lincoln  Court,
Green  Street  and  the  Loewy Building has  agreed  to  fund  capital
expenditures at terms similar to the first mortgage.

               (3)  Results of Operations

                     During  the  first  quarter of  1999,  Registrant
incurred a net loss of $292,807 ($20.60 per limited partnership  unit)
compared  to  a  net loss of $251,297 ($17.79 per limited  partnership
unit) for the same period in 1998.

                     Rental income increased $626 from $304,913 in the
first  quarter of 1998 to $305,539 in the same period  in  1999.   The
increase from the first quarter of 1998 to the same period in 1999  is
the  result  of an increase in the average rental rates at  the  Loewy
Building partially offset by a decrease at the Lincoln Court due to  a
decrease in the average occupancy (91% to 88%) and a decrease  in  the
other income at Green Street Apartments.

                     Expense for rental operations decreased by $2,715
from  $176,442 in the first quarter of 1998 to $173,732  in  the  same
period  in 1999.  The decrease from the first quarter of 1998  to  the
same  period in 1999 is mainly the result of a decrease in commissions
expense at Lincoln Court due to a lower turnover of apartment units.

                      Interest  expense  increased  by  $51,805   from
$215,855  in the first quarter of 1998 to $267,660 in the same  period
in  1999.   The  increase  is due to an adjustment  made  to  properly
calculate interest on the mortgage loan at the Loewy Building in  1998
combined with an increase at Lincoln Court due to an increase  in  the
interest rate.

                     Depreciation  and amortization expense  decreased
$4,265  from $131,106 in the first quarter of 1998 to $126,841 in  the
same  period in 1999.  The decrease from the first quarter of 1998  to
the  same  period  in  1999  is  due to the  amortization  of  leasing
commissions incurred during 1998 at the Loewy Building.

                      Losses  incurred  during  the  quarter  at   the
Registrant's properties amounted to $247,000, compared to  a  loss  of
approximately $203,000 for the same period in 1998.

                     In the first quarter of 1999, Registrant incurred
a  loss of $138,000 at Lincoln Court including $40,000 of depreciation
and  amortization expense, compared to a loss of $70,000 in the  first
quarter  of  1998,  including $40,000 of  depreciation  expense.   The
increase in the loss from the first quarter of 1998 to the same period
in  1999  is  the  result of a decrease in rental  income  due  to  an
decrease  in  the  average occupancy (91% to  88%)  combined  with  an
increase  in  commissions  and interest expense.  Commissions  expense
increased  due to a higher turnover of apartment units and commissions
for  future  leases. Interest expense increased due to an increase  in
the interest rate on the second mortgage.

                     In the first quarter of 1999, Registrant incurred
a loss of $46,000 at the Green Street Apartments, including $15,000 of
depreciation expense, compared to a loss of $44,000 including  $15,000
of  depreciation expense in the first quarter of 1998.  The  increased
loss  is the result of a decrease in other income such as parking fees
and  late  fees from the first quarter of 1998 to the same  period  in
1999.

                     In the first quarter of 1999, Registrant incurred
a  loss  of  $63,000  at  the  Loewy Building,  including  $69,000  of
depreciation and amortization expense, compared to a loss  of  $89,000
including  $72,000  of depreciation expense in the  first  quarter  of
1998.   The decreased loss from the first quarter of 1998 to the  same
period in 1999 is the result of an increase in rental income due to an
increase  in  the  average rental rates combined with  a  decrease  in
amortization  expense  partially offset by  an  increase  in  interest
expense.  Interest  expense increased due to  an  adjustment  made  to
property calculate interest on the mortgage loan in 1998.

                    Summary of Minority Interests

                     In  the  first  quarter of 1999,  the  Registrant
incurred no loss at Magazine Place compared to a loss of $1,537 in the
first quarter of 1998.  The Registrant accounts for this investment on
the  equity method.  The difference from the first quarter of 1998  to
the same period in 1999 is due to an increase in rental income due  to
an increase in the average rental rates.
