Investigators said they are working to identify the owner of the 1-foot-by-1-foot GoPro Karma Quadcopter drone.
Recreational drone flying is illegal most places in New York, save for a few parks in the other boroughs.
Heidrum Pretzel, a 28th floor resident whose apartment is directly above the woman's, said she had seen the drone flying around moments earlier and was looking out the window at the time of the crash.
"I just saw boop, something, then I heard somebody say 'Oh my God,'" she told CBS New York.
