Schedule 13D

         This  statement  relates to the Common  Stock,  par value $.01
         (the "Common  Stock"),  of CoreComm  Incorporated,  a Delaware
         corporation ("CoreComm").  The address of the principal executive 
         offices of CoreComm is 110 East 59th Street, New York, NY 10022.

Item 2.  Identity and Background

         This statement is filed on behalf of the following entities:

         Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Holdings"),
         3 World Financial Center
         200 Vesey Street
         New York, NY 10285

         Holdings  through its domestic and foreign  subsidiaries  is a
         full-line  securities  firm.  Holdings is the parent of Lehman Brothers
         Finance S.A.

         Lehman Brothers Finance S.A., a Swiss corporation, ("LBF"),
         13 Route de Florissant
         7th Floor 
         1211 Geneva 12 Switzerland

         LBF, a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdings,  is engaged in the
         equity, swap and derivatives business.

         The names,  residence or business addresses,  citizenships and
         present principal occupations or employment of the senior executive
         officers and directors of the Reporting Persons are set forth in
         Appendix A hereto.

         None of the Reporting Persons, nor to the best knowledge of the
         Reporting Persons, any of the persons listed in Appendix A hereto, has
         during the last five years (i) been convicted in a criminal proceeding
         (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) been
         party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of a 
         competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is 
         subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future
         violations of, or mandating activities subject to, federal or state 
         securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 3.  Source of Funds or Other Consideration

         The shares were acquired by LBF with internally generated funds.
         See Item 4.


Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction

         On April 25, 1997 LBF acquired in the ordinary course of its business
         an aggregate of 930,000  shares of Common Stock of CoreComm for $14.25
         per share in two privately  negotiated  transactions:  one for 850,000
         shares with the Baron Asset Fund;  and the other for 80,000  shares
         with the Baron  Growth and Income Fund.  Such  acquisitions  were made
         by LBF in connection  with two three- month swap transactions  related
         to CoreComm stock entered into by such funds with LBF on the same date.
         Such swaps were entered into in the ordinary  course of LBF's
         business.

         The  acquisition  of CoreComm  stock was  incidental  to LBF's
         swaps and derivatives business and was not made with an intention to 
         control the issuer. Depending  on the  status of the  related  swap 
         transactions,  market and other conditions  or  events,  LBF may sell
         some or all of such  CoreComm  shares  in privately negotiated
         transactions, in broker's transactions, both on and off the exchange,
         or  otherwise.  In addition,  LBF may, in the ordinary  course of its
         business,  acquire additional shares of CoreComm shares in privately 
         negotiated transactions,  in  broker's  transactions,  both  on and off
         the  exchange,  or otherwise.

         Lehman Brothers Inc. ("LBI"), a registered broker-dealer affiliate of
         LBF, acted as agent for the parties and received customary and usual
         fees for its services.  LBI purchases, sells and holds CoreComm Common 
         Stock for itself and its customers  in  the ordinary course of its
         business.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer

         (a)      LBF holds 930,000 shares of CoreComm Common Stock,
                  representing 7.02% of CoreComm Common Stock.  Holdings
                  indirectly  holds 1,104,663 shares of CoreComm  Common Stock, 
                  representing  8.34% of CoreComm  Common Stock.  Of such
                  amount  7.02%  is held  by LBF and  1.32%  is  held  by LBI, 
                  its  broker-dealer subsidiary, in the ordinary course of its
                  business.

         (b)      LBF has sole voting power and sole investment power over its
                  shares. Holdings has shared voting power and shared investmen
                  power of shares held by its subsidiaries.  See Item 4.

         (c)      See Item 4.

         (d)      None of the Reporting Persons nor, to their knowledge, any
                  of the persons  listed in Appendix A hereto,  knows of any
                  other  person who has the right to receive or the power to
                  direct the receipt of  dividends  from,  or the proceeds from 
                  the sale of, any shares of Common Stock  beneficially owned by
                  the Reporting Persons.

         (e)      Not applicable.
