The opulent Upper East Side duplex owned by Tyco International that had been home to its former chief executive, L. Dennis Kozlowski, has gone to contract, according to a real-estate source familiar with the proceedings. The apartment, in the exclusive limestone co-op at 950 Fifth Avenue, carried a $24.95 million asking price and was being shopped by S. Jean Meisel and Amy Katcher of Brown Harris Stevens. Both brokers declined to comment on a pending transaction, citing confidentiality agreements. Gwen Fisher, a spokeswoman for the 260,000-employee manufacturing and service conglomerate, also declined to comment on the sale of Mr. Kozlowski’s former corporate residence.
