Thanks for the replies.
Following the advice of installer Dan Kurtz, I installed a CM-4221 (4-bay bowtie) antenna on a chimney mounted mast at my house back in 2001 and it has done a great job with these defracted signals. Eventually it lost effectiveness - likely due to corrosion of the bowtie rods - and I've replaced it with a Xtreme Signal HDB4X that is working much better.
I have no doubt that a similar 4-bay bowtie antenna (perhaps even the aforementioned 4221 after cleaning the bowtie rods or maybe a ClearStream 2V) would work from the balcony (3rd/top floor - vaulted ceiling) of the apartment, but I'm fairly certain it would be unacceptable to the tenant and I'm not sure about the landlord, either. I'll have to ask.
Regardless, it seems that I may be out of luck trying to get a rock solid signal for the NBC channel out of one of these nice little flypaper antennas, so it may come down to a how-bad-do-you-want-it decision by the tenant.
