There are good supers, bad supers, and really, really bad supers. We're pretty sure that sexual deviants and bestialists fall into that latter category.
The New York Times reports that six female residents of an Upper West Side building have received a $2 million settlement over a super who sexually harrassed tenants and pressured them into sex in exchange for lower rent.
Lately our no-fee weekly spotlights have been trending on the more expensive side (hovering somewhere in the $3k-$4k range), so this week we've gone the less-expensive route -- with an $1,850 one-bedroom in Yorkville.
Pros: The under-$2,000 rent is hard to beat, especially in a non-studio apartment. There's laundry in the building, and it's only a short walk from beautiful Carl Shurz Park, and the East Side promenade.
Summer's almost here, and if you’re like us, your mind’s already started wandering toward that beach house you've always fantasized about but can't quite afford.
But what if that “beach house” is just upstairs?
Yes, it’s true, NYC co-ops and condos have been known to sell raw roof space to owners so that they can create patios, gardens, and extensions to their own apartments.
This $3,150 two-bedroom, 1.5 bath apartment in Williamsburg, Brooklyn is on bustling Bedford Avenue. The building is a new development and apartments have washer/dryer hook-ups. There's also a roof deck on top and bike storage in the basement (naturally, in a neighborhood like Williamsburg).
