The grand dame of pink buildings in NYC, Palazzo Chupi inspires a lot of opinions. Artist Julian Schnabel created the five-unit condo building in the style of a Northern Italian palazzo, and while the color may look pink to us lay people, Schnabel called it "Pompei red." The color had faded since 2007, but last year, a new coating brought it back to its Pepto-pink glory.

This quirky salmon-colored Village house has been rocking its pink hue since 1920, when the owner hired an architect to reimagine his traditional rowhouse. The style is inspired by Jugendstil, a style that pulls from Art Nouveau and Japanese prints.

This pink townhouse on West 10th Street was actually put up for sale last year. The lower three floors were vacant, and the listing made it sound like some renovations were needed. It was asking $7.95 million and was delisted without a sale. Infamous New York details the building's tumultuous history in the early 1900s—apparently Sinclair Lewis and his wife unhappily lived here.

In prime Soho, every inch of two buildings on Prince Street are painted a Pepto-pink. Both are walk-up apartment buildings. Anyone know when or why the owner did this? [Photo via Ephemeral NY]

Not far form the New York Botanical Garden, a brick townhouse on Bedford Park Boulveard boasts a bubblegum-colored facade. The pink stops on the building's face, but the enter cornice has been painted red. [Photo via Ephemeral NY]

Someone tried to cheer up this rather sad-looking pair of rowhouses in Williamsburg with a coat of bright pink paint.

Sadly, the brownstone at 233 Garfield Place is no longer pink, but we included it as an honorary member of the Pink Brigade.
