The 40-year-old woman who jumped to her death from her Midtown apartment building Tuesday morning was identified as a health care professional who worked in Brooklyn.
The woman, identified by sources as Tiffany Brodvin, jumped from the window of her sixth-floor apartment at 157 E. 57th St., near Third Avenue, around 7:15 a.m. and was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.
“It sounded like two cars crashed,” Martin Flores, who was nearby at the time, told The Daily Mail. ‘When I see the body on the floor, I said: ‘Oh my god, what happened? I was very nervous and then I saw all the police coming.’

Brodvin had left behind a suicide note, according to law enforcement sources.
She had worked as a rehabilitation specialist at the rehab center Braverhood in Brooklyn’s Borough Park neighborhood, according to her Facebook profile.
She had also attended Hunter College and St. George Academy, a private Ukrainian Catholic high school in the East Village, her profile stated.
Tiffany Brodvin attended Hunter College and a Ukrainian Catholic high school in the East Village. G.N.Miller/NYPostNeighbors told the Mail that Brodvin was close with her mother, psychotherapist Dr. Susan Klett. The two often walked hand-in-hand or arm-in-arm, one long-time resident of Brodvin’s building said.
“She had some issues,” one woman told the outlet. “She lived with her mom and she had a dog.”
Both mother and daughter had lived there for more than 17 years, the neighbor said.
Fernando Molena, 21, who works at the nearby Elite Shoe Repair store, told the Mail that he had seen the victim just last Wednesday.
‘Wow. She was a neighbor,” he said. “I am sad. Now the street isn’t going to feel the same anymore.”
He recalled another suicide at the luxury building just two years ago – calling it “strange,” “but just maybe more of a coincidence.”
Tiffany Brodvin was a health care professional who worked in Brooklyn. G.N.Miller/NYPostA salesman at the nearby Bassano Jewlery, dubbed the 19-story building “the suicide building.”
“There’s some bad juju happening in that building with with so many suicide and deaths,” Joel Cardoza, a parking attendant who works a few doors down from the scene, told the Mail. “It’s like [the Netflix show] T’he Hotel Cecil.'”
