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

          (1)  Liquidity

             As of June 30, 2000, Registrant had cash of $29,732.
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 June 30, 2000, Registrant had restricted cash
of  $165,986  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 properties' inability to generate sufficient cash flow
to pay their operating expenses and debt service.  At the present
time, the Registrant has feasible loan modifications in place  at
Lincoln Court, Green Street and the Loewy Building.  However,  in
all three cases, the mortgages are 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).

              Since  the  lenders have agreed  to  forebear  from
taking  any foreclosure action as long as cash flow payments  are
made,  the  Registrant  believes it is  appropriate  to  continue
presenting the financial statements on a going concern basis.


          (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 expenditure  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
holders  for  Lincoln  Court, Loewy  Building  and  Green  Street
Apartments  have  agreed to fund capital  expenditures  at  terms
similar to the first mortgage.
          (3)  Results of Operations

              During  the  second  quarter  of  2000,  Registrant
incurred  a  net loss of $340,159 ($24.09 per limited partnership
unit)  compared  to  a net loss of $273,989 ($19.54  per  limited
partnership unit) for the same period in 1999.  For the first six
months  of  2000, the Registrant incurred a net loss of  $698,192
($49.43  per limited partnership unit) compared to a net loss  of
$567,315  ($40.19  per limited partnership  unit)  for  the  same
period in 1999.

             Rental income decreased $74,064 from $301,116 in the
second quarter of 1999 to $227,052 in the same period of 2000 and
decreased $139,601 from $606,655 in the first six months of  1999
to  $467,054 in the same period of 2000.  The decrease in  rental
income  for both the second quarter and the first six  months  of
2000  is due to a decrease in rental income at the Loewy Building
due  to  decrease  in average occupancy (78% to  69%),  partially
offset by an increase in rental income at Lincoln Court and Green
Street.   The increase in rental income is due to an increase  in
average occupancy at Lincoln Court (85% to 88%) and Green  Street
Apartments (93% to 94%).

              Expense for rental operations increased by  $15,155
from  $134,797 in the second quarter of 1999 to $149,952  in  the
same  period in 2000.  The increase in rental operations  expense
for  the  second  quarter  in 2000  is  due  to  an  increase  in
maintenance  expense at the Loewy Building due to preparation  of
commercial  space  due  to  the increased  turnover  due  to  the
decrease in average occupancy.

             Expense for rental operations decreased by $354 from
$308,534 for the first six months of 1999 to $308,180 in the same
period  in  2000.   The  decrease is due to  a  decrease  in  the
management  fees at the Loewy Building as a result of a  decrease
in   average  occupancy,  partially  offset  by  an  increase  in
utilities expense at Lincoln Court due to an increase in  average
occupancy.

              Interest expense decreased by $6,700 from  $267,660
in  the second quarter of 1999 to $260,960 in the same period  in
2000 and decreased $897 from $535,833 for the first six months of
1999  to  $534,936 in the same period in 2000. The  decrease  for
both  periods  is  due  to the decrease in  interest  expense  at
Lincoln Court due to a decrease in the principal balance  of  the
first mortgage.

              Depreciation  and  amortization  expense  increased
$1,168 from $126,840 in the second quarter of 1999 to $128,008 in
the  same  period in 2000 and increased $2,334 from $253,681  for
the  first  six months of 1999 to $256,015 in the same period  in
2000.  The increase for both the second quarter and the first six
months   is  due  to  the  amortization  of  additional   leasing
commissions incurred during 2000 at the Loewy Building.

               Losses   incurred  during  the  quarter   at   the
Registrant's properties were approximately $296,000 compared to a
loss of approximately $214,000 for the same period in 1999.   For
the  first  six  months  of  2000,  the  Registrant's  properties
recognized a loss of $599,000 compared to approximately  $459,000
for the same period in 1999.

             In the second quarter of 2000, Registrant incurred a
loss   of   $82,000  at  Lincoln  Court  including   $40,000   of
depreciation  and amortization expense, compared  to  a  loss  of
$113,000  in  the  second quarter of 1999, including  $40,000  of
depreciation and amortization expense.  For the first six  months
of  2000, Registrant incurred a loss of $188,000 at Lincoln Court
including  $80,000  of  depreciation  and  amortization  expense,
compared  to  a  loss of $250,000 for the same  period  in  1999,
including $80,000 of depreciation and amortization expense.   The
decrease  in the loss for both the second quarter and  the  first
six months is due to an increase in rental income combined with a
decrease in interest expense, partially offset by an increase  in
utilities  expense.  The increase in rental income is due  to  an
increase in average occupancy for the second quarter (82% to 85%)
and  for  the  first six months (85% to 88%).   Interest  expense
decreased  due to a decrease in principal balance  of  the  first
mortgage.   Utilities  expense  increased  as  a  result  of  the
increase in average occupancy.

             In the second quarter of 2000, Registrant incurred a
loss  of $29,000 at the Green Street Apartments including $15,000
of  depreciation expense, compared to a loss of $31,000 including
$15,000  of depreciation expense in the second quarter  of  1999.
For  the first six months of 2000, Registrant incurred a loss  of
$72,000 including $29,000 of depreciation expense, compared to  a
loss of $77,000 for the same period in 1999 including $29,000  of
depreciation expense.  The decrease in the loss from  the  second
quarter  and the first six months of 1999 to the same periods  in
2000  is  the result of an increase in rental income  due  to  an
increase in average occupancy in the second quarter (91% to  94%)
and for the first six months (93% to 94%).

             In the second quarter of 2000, Registrant incurred a
loss  of  $185,000  at the Loewy Building, including  $69,000  of
depreciation  and amortization expense, compared  to  a  loss  of
$70,000   including  $69,000  of  depreciation  and  amortization
expense in the second quarter of 1999.  The increase in the  loss
from the second quarter of 1999 to the same period in 2000 is the
result  of a decrease in rental income combined with an  increase
in  maintenance  expense.   Rental  income  decreased  due  to  a
decrease  in  average occupancy (78% to 69%).   The  increase  in
maintenance expense is due to preparation of commercial space due
to  the  increased  turnover  due  to  the  decrease  in  average
occupancy.

              For  the  first  six  months  of  2000,  Registrant
incurred  a  loss  of  $340,000 at the Loewy  Building  including
$139,000 of depreciation and amortization expense, compared to  a
loss  of $132,000 for the same period in 1999, including $137,000
of  depreciation  and amortization expense.  The  increased  loss
from  the first six months of 1999 to the same period in 2000  is
the  result  of  a  decrease in rental income  combined  with  an
increase  in interest and amortization expense, partially  offset
by a decrease in management fees.  Rental income decreased due to
a  decrease in average occupancy (78% to 69%).  Interest  expense
increased  due to an increase in principle balance of  the  first
mortgage.   The increase in amortization expense is  due  to  the
amortization  of  the  additional  leasing  commissions  incurred
during  2000.   Management fees decreased  as  a  result  of  the
decrease in rental income.

             Summary of Minority Interests

              In  the  second  quarter of  2000,  the  Registrant
recognized income of $2,202 at Magazine Place compared to a  loss
of  $15,011 in the second quarter of 1999 and for the  first  six
months of 2000, the Registrant incurred a loss of $5,420 compared
to a loss of $19,889 for the same period in 1999.  The Registrant
accounts  for this investment on the equity method.  The decrease
in  the loss from the second quarter and the first six months  of
1999  to the same periods in 2000 is due to an increase in rental
income due to an increase in the average rental rates.
