88 Greenwich Street, also known as the Greenwich Club Residences, and previously known as 19 Rector Street, is a building which takes up the full block of Rector Street between Greenwich Street and Washington Street in the Financial District of Manhattan, New York City. Built in 1929-30, the 37-story building was designed by Lafayette A. Goldstone and Alexander Zamshnick in the Art Deco style.[4]

88 Greenwich Street was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2002. The building was renovated into residential condominium use in 2006.[4] In 2012, the building was affected by flooding from Hurricane Sandy. Three million square feet of salt water entered the basement of the building, causing significant damage.[5][6] During the flooding, water dislodged an oil tank which in turn hit a ceiling beam and cracked open. The breakage from the impact lead to an oil spill, which required a thorough cleaning.[7]
