             Notes to Financial Statements

1. The Partnership

Dean  Witter  Realty Income Partnership IV,  L.P.  (the
"Partnership") is a limited partnership organized under
the laws of the State of Delaware on October 31, 1986.

The  Partnership's interests in Taxter Park  Associates
("Associates")  and  DWR Chesterbrook  Associates,  the
partnership  which  owned an interest  in  Chesterbrook
Corporate Center (sold 4/98), are accounted for on  the
equity method.

The Partnership's records are maintained on the accrual
basis  of  accounting for financial and  tax  reporting
purposes.

Net  income per Unit amounts are calculated by dividing
net income allocated to Limited Partners, in accordance
with the Partnership Agreement, by the weighted average
number of Units outstanding.

In   the   opinion  of  management,  the   accompanying
financial  statements,  which have  not  been  audited,
include  all  adjustments, necessary to present  fairly
the results for the interim period. Except for the gain
on  the  sale of the Chesterbrook property included  in
equity  in  earnings of joint ventures  in  the  second
quarter  of  1998,  such adjustments  consist  only  of
normal recurring accruals.

These   financial   statements  should   be   read   in
conjunction  with the annual financial  statements  and
notes  thereto  included  in the  Partnership's  annual
report  on  Form  10-K filed with  the  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission for the year  ended  December  31,
1998.  Operating results of interim periods may not  be
indicative  of  the operating results  for  the  entire
year.

2. Investment in Joint Venture

In  1987,  Associates   sold a  leasehold  interest  in
approximately 20% of the space at Taxter Corporate Park
to KLM.  In 1998, KLM accepted a $6.75 million purchase
offer for the leasehold interest,

<PAGE>
    DEAN WITTER REALTY INCOME PARTNERSHIP IV, L.P.

             Notes to Financial Statements

which  Associates had the right to match.  The partners
of  Associates believe that inclusion of the KLM  space
improves  the  value and salability  of  the  property;
however, the partners did not have sufficient  cash  to
fund  the  purchase.  Therefore, an  affiliate  of  the
Managing  General  Partner  (the  "Affiliate"),  as  an
accommodation,  purchased  the  leasehold  interest  on
February  8,  1999 for $6.75 million  and  assumed  the
rights and obligations of KLM thereunder.

On February 4, 1999, Associates and KLM entered into  a
new lease which allows KLM to continue to occupy 50% of
the  space  subject  to  the  leasehold  interest.   On
February 8, 1999, the Affiliate also assumed the rights
and obligations of Associates under this new lease.

As  part  of  the  purchase of the leasehold  interest,
Associates received an option to purchase the leasehold
interest  and  assume the new lease from the  Affiliate
for a purchase price of $6.75 million plus the cost  of
any   tenant  improvements,  leasing  commissions   and
capital  expenditures  incurred  by  the  Affiliate  in
connection  with the leasehold interest  (collectively,
the  "Resale  Price").   Associates  also  granted  the
Affiliate  an option to require Associates to  purchase
the leasehold interest and assume the new lease for the
Resale  Price.   When the property is sold,  Associates
will  be  obligated to purchase the leasehold  interest
and assume the new lease from the Affiliate for the new
Resale Price.

3. Related Party Transactions

In  1998, an affiliate of the Managing General  Partner
provided   property  management  services  for   Taxter
Corporate  Park and five buildings at the  Chesterbrook
Corporate  Center  (until the buildings  were  sold  in
April   1998).   The  Partnership  paid  the  affiliate
management fees of approximately $43,000 in 1998.  This
amount  was recorded as expenses of the joint ventures.
In   1999,  property  management  services  for  Taxter
Corporate Park are provided by an unaffiliated party.

Another  affiliate  of  the  Managing  General  Partner
performs  administrative functions, processes  investor
transactions  and  prepares  tax  information  for  the
Partnership.  Effective January 1, 1999, the  affiliate
reduced  its  fees for these services  because  of  the
greatly  decreased level of partnership  activity.  For
the six-month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, the
Partnership incurred approximately $40,000 and $108,000
for  these  services, respectively. These  amounts  are
included in general and administrative expenses.

4.    Subsequent Event
In  July  1999, the Partnership received $ 80,000,  its
share of the balance of the escrow deposit returned  to
DWR   Chesterbrook  Associates  by  the  buyer  of  the
Chesterbrook property.

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The   Partnership  raised  $152,218,500  in  a   public
offering of 304,437 units which was terminated in 1988.
The  Partnership  has  no  plans  to  raise  additional
capital.

The  Partnership's interest in the Taxter  property  is
the   Partnership's   sole  property   interest.    The
partnership  which  owns  the  Taxter  Corporate   Park
property (the "Taxter Partnership") has accepted a  bid
from  an  unaffiliated  third  party  to  purchase  the
property, and the parties are currently negotiating the
terms  of a purchase and sale agreement. However, there
can  be  no assurance that the Taxter property will  be
sold.

On  February  8,  1999, an affiliate  of  the  Managing
General  Partner,  as an accommodation  to  the  Taxter
Partnership, purchased the leasehold interest of KLM in
approximately 20% of the property's space.  See Note  2
to the financial statements.

Currently,  the overall vacancy levels  in  the  office
market  in  Westchester County, New York and  the  west
Westchester  sub-market in which Taxter Corporate  Park
is located are approximately 18% and 14%, respectively.
Also,  during  the three months ended  June  30,  1999,
occupancy  at the property decreased from  83%  to  76%
primarily  because Cityscape, a tenant which filed  for
bankruptcy protection in 1998, vacated approximately 9%
of    the   property's   space.    Leases   aggregating
approximately  39% of the property's  space  expire  in
2001.





<PAGE>
    DEAN WITTER REALTY INCOME PARTNERSHIP IV, L.P.

During  the six months ended June 30, 1999, the  Taxter
property  generated positive cash flow from operations,
and  it is anticipated that it will continue to  do  so
during the remainder of  1999.

The  Taxter  Partnership expects to buy the former  KLM
leasehold  interest at the time that  the  property  is
sold, using a portion of the proceeds from the sale  of
the   Taxter  property.   As  of  June  30,  1999,  the
Partnership   had  commitments  to  fund  approximately
$137,000  for  its  share  of tenant  improvements  and
leasing commissions at the Taxter property.

During   the   six-months   ended   June   30,    1999,
distributions   received from the Taxter joint  venture
exceeded  cash used in operations and contributions  to
the Taxter joint venture.

The  Partnership  did not pay any distributions  during
the  six months ended June 30, 1999.  Generally, future
cash  distributions will be paid from proceeds received
from the sale of the Taxter property and cash reserves.

Except   as   discussed  above  and  in  the  financial
statements, the Managing General Partner is  not  aware
of  any  trends or events, commitments or uncertainties
that may have a material impact on liquidity.

Operations

Fluctuations in the Partnership's operating results for
the  three- and six-month periods ended June  30,  1999
compared  to  1998  are primarily attributable  to  the
following:

Equity  in  earnings of joint ventures and general  and
administrative expenses decreased in 1999  compared  to
1998  primarily  due  to the sale of  the  Chesterbrook
Corporate Center in April 1998.

In  1999, interest and other revenues decreased due  to
interest  earned in 1998 on the proceeds from the  sale
of  the Chesterbrook property before such proceeds were
distributed to the Limited Partners.
<PAGE>
    DEAN WITTER REALTY INCOME PARTNERSHIP IV, L.P.


There  were  no other individually significant  factors
which caused changes in revenues or expenses.

Inflation

Inflation has been consistently low during the  periods
presented in the financial statements and, as a result,
has  not had a significant effect on the operations  of
the Partnership or its properties.
