                Notes to Financial Statements

1. The Partnership

Dean   Witter  Realty  Income  Partnership  I,   L.P.   (the
"Partnership") is a limited partnership organized under  the
laws  of  the  State of Delaware in 1983.  The Partnership's
fiscal year ends on October 31.

The  Partnership's  records are maintained  on  the  accrual
basis   of  accounting  for  financial  reporting  and   tax
purposes.

Net  income per Unit of limited partnership interest amounts
are  calculated  by  dividing net income  allocated  to  the
Limited   Partners,  in  accordance  with  the   Partnership
Agreement,   by  the  weighted  average  number   of   Units
outstanding.

In  the  opinion  of management, the accompanying  financial
statements,  which  have  not  been  audited,  include   all
adjustments necessary to present fairly the results for  the
interim periods.  Except for the 1998 gains on sales of real
estate,  such  adjustments consist only of normal  recurring
accruals.

These  financial  statements should be read  in  conjunction
with  the  annual  financial statements  and  notes  thereto
included  in  the Partnership's annual report on  Form  10-K
filed  with the Securities and Exchange Commission  for  the
year  ended  October 31, 1998. Operating results of  interim
periods  may not be indicative of the operating results  for
the entire year.

2. Related Party Transactions

An  affiliate  of  the  Managing  General  Partner  provided
property  management  services  for  the  North  Lake  Plaza
property  in  fiscal 1999, and the North Lake Plaza,  Carmel
Park and Westwood 10 (both sold December 1997) properties in
fiscal  1998. The Partnership paid the affiliate  management
fees   of   approximately $21,000 and $35,000  for  the  six
months  ended  April 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.  These
amounts are included in property operating expenses.





<PAGE>
        DEAN WITTER REALTY INCOME PARTNERSHIP I, L.P.

                Notes to Financial Statements


Another  affiliate of the Managing General Partner  performs
administrative   functions,   processes   certain   investor
transactions   and   prepares  tax   information   for   the
Partnership.   Effective  November 1,  1998,  the  affiliate
reduced  its fees for these services because of the  greatly
reduced  level of Partnership activity.  For the six  months
ended  April  30,  1999  and 1998, the Partnership  incurred
approximately $51,000 and $89,000, respectively,  for  these
services.   These  amounts  are  included  in  general   and
administrative expenses.

         DEAN WITTER REALTY INCOME PARTNERSHIP I, L.P.

ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The  Partnership  raised $92,780,000 in  a  public  offering
which  was terminated in 1984.  The Partnership has no plans
to raise additional capital.

As  a  result  of the 1998 property sales, Partnership  cash
flow  from operations decreased during the three-  and  six-
month periods ended April 30, 1999 as compared to 1998.

The Managing General Partner is currently marketing for sale
the  North  Lake  Plaza  property,  with  the  objective  of
completing  the  property sale by the end  of  fiscal  1999.
However,  there can be no assurance that this property  will
be sold.

Currently,  the  vacancy  rate  in  the  retail  market   in
Altamonte  Springs, Florida, the location of the North  Lake
Plaza  Shopping  Center,  is approximately  6%,  and  market
rental rates continue to be stable. During the second fiscal
quarter  of  1999, occupancy at the property increased  from
85%  to 91%.  Development of nearby office projects and  the
scheduled  expansion of North Lake Boulevard (which  borders
the shopping center) are anticipated to increase traffic  at
the  property.   The lease for Home Depot (for approximately
50% of the property's space) is scheduled to expire in 2003.
Home  Depot  continues to sub-lease its space to  Burlington
Coat  Factory  but remains obligated to pay rent  under  the
lease.  The lease of Marshalls Inc., (for approximately  21%
of the space) is schedule to expire in 2002.













<PAGE>
        DEAN WITTER REALTY INCOME PARTNERSHIP I, L.P.

During  the six months ended April 30, 1999, the North  Lake
Plaza property generated positive cash flow from operations,
and it is anticipated that the property will continue to  do
so during the period the Partnership continues to own it.

During   the   six  months  ended  April   30,   1999,   the
Partnership's  capital expenditures exceeded its  cash  flow
from   operations.    This  deficiency   was   funded   from
Partnership cash reserves.

The    capital   expenditures   incurred,   which    totaled
approximately  $208,000,  were for tenant  improvements  and
leasing commissions at the North Lake Plaza property.

The  Partnership did not pay any cash distributions   during
the six months ended April 30, 1999.  Generally, future cash
distributions will be paid from proceeds received  from  the
sale of the North Lake Plaza property and cash reserves.

As  of  April  30, 1999, the Partnership has commitments  to
fund  approximately $56,000 of capital expenditures  at  the
North Lake Plaza property.

The Partnership believes that its cash reserves are adequate
for its needs in fiscal 1999.

Except  as discussed above and in the consolidated financial
statements, the Managing General Partner is not aware of any
trends or events, commitments or uncertainties that may have
a material impact on liquidity.

Operations

Fluctuations in the Partnership's operating results for  the
three-  and  six-month  periods  ended  April  30,  1999  as
compared  to  1998  were  primarily  attributable   to   the
following:

In  1999,  rental income, property operating  expenses,  and
general and administrative expenses decreased as a result of
the  fiscal  1998 sales of the Westwood 10 (December  1997),
Carmel  Park  (December  1997), and Harborgate  (July  1998)
properties.


<PAGE>
        DEAN WITTER REALTY INCOME PARTNERSHIP I, L.P.

The  gains  on sales of real estate in fiscal 1998  resulted
from   the  sales  of  the  Carmel  Park  and  Westwood   10
properties.

Interest  and  other income decreased during the  six-months
ended  April  30,  1999  primarily because  the  Partnership
earned  interest  in 1998 on the proceeds from the sales  of
properties  until such proceeds were distributed to  Limited
Partners.

Depreciation  and amortization expenses decreased  in   1999
due to the sale of the Harborgate property in July 1998.

There  were no other individually significant factors  which
caused changes in revenues and expenses.

Inflation

Inflation  has  been  consistently low  during  the  periods
presented in the financial statements and, as a result,  has
not  had  a  significant  effect on the  operations  of  the
Partnership or its properties.
