I Found The Worst Apartment In NYC…

I would just prefer to be on a lower level and one door, then to have multiple doors with questionable locking mechanisms. People forget that when they are looking for an apartment, they also need to be thinking about how far they would have to go if there was a fire and the building was filled with smoke, or how many flights of stairs to their apartment, or how often their neighborhood floods, or how likely it is that the building would collapse in an earthquake, etc.

Just think about what you'd need to do in a fire (or flood?) and you might feel better. If I lived in those places though, I would definitely install brackets and a big solid wood or metal bar to block the extra doors when I am not using them. So I can go out, but others cannot come in.

Born and raised in NYC/Brooklyn from 1940-1966. Owners of these buildings were mom and pop investors - rents were very low - and they kept the apartment buildings clean. The landlord actually came out to ur apartment to collect the rent. Today, the RICH own us - and they could dice-up a 2 bedroom into a mini-4-bedroom and charge $$$$$$$$$$$$$. They're very connected - that's why they call a windowless room a bedroom. My downstairs bedroom is 11'x12'. CASH calls this size bedroom "a good size." I call my downstairs bedroom "SMALL." Those mini-kitchens where there's no room for a table - what the heck!!!!

Cash, the weird mechanical unit in the closets are combi boilers, or tankless water heaters as I believe they are called in the states. They are far more energy efficient than the massive water heaters that are typical in the States. Normally, in the UK, they are a lot tidier than that, in face one of those seemed to have the piping spread out far more than neccessary, and they are usually boxed in. Most people have them in their kitchens in the UK. They give hot water on demand and are great if you have roommates or a large family because everyone can shower without running out of hot water. I have no idea why they've taken so long to become more mainstream in the States. Nearly every where I've lived in the UK for the last 23 years has had one.

[@SuzanneWho]

Xzavier: We’re starting to see tankless heaters gain popularity but industry is still touting the old tank water heaters. Also, what they charge for installation is usually pretty high considering the basic simplicity of installation. Europe and Asia are ahead of us on efficiency and quality. A similar situation is our RV industries - lousy construction, cheap materials, poor design etc.

[@caram227]

I’m in the US and about to replace my failing 1997 (!!) water heater and put in a tankless. Excited for the efficiency we’ll now have.

[@squidge125]

Yeah that installation is just horrendous! Obviously had no idea how to install one!

[@dsr8223]

We have a "tankless" hot water heater in our home. Ours only has a total of three pipes attached to it, though (plus the gas line). I don't know what the crazy spiderweb of pipes is for the ones in the video unless...maybe each one is serving more than one rental unit!?

[@reenierocket]

Yes! Definitely true

[@Bobrogers99]

Unit #1: For $7,000/month you get several flights of stairs to walk up, a very small kitchen and a very, very small living area, miniscule closets and a cramped bathroom to share. Yes, there is laundry, and a rooftop deck to retreat to when you run out of air in that small apartment. Unit #2 is apparently a two bedroom, and since one of the rooms is for vampires it should list for a much lower price. I'll reserve judgment on the two unfinished ones, but the $9,000 alleged 4-bedroom apartment may only have two legal bedrooms. One in the cellar has no window (a clear violation) and the other's "window" is accessed by a grate in the outside deck, probably not an adequate egress. Aren't there any inspectors for these places? (BTW, those mysterious units in the closets are your heat/hot water boilers, so you're paying for that.) The apartments that Charles showed us have reasonable kitchens and overall much more square footage. They're pricey, and I wouldn't pay that much for a sixth-floor walkup, but they are better apartments otherwise - excluding the possibility of damage to slammed appliance doors.

[@jacksonmorganfroghin4815]

That windowless room may save your life in the event of a drive -by. Solution: Just install a outdoor camera that would give you a "window" to those fly by night gangsters. Eventually cars won't even have windows. Just cameras and monitors that deliver a reasonable facsimile of reality. Power goes out? Oh well, that's life in the big city. Another exciting video from Cash. I await them like I used to await the release of a new Beatles album. Why is that?

The boxes in the closet with the pipes are European water heaters, it’s more efficient than keeping a tank full of water and constantly reheating it, instead it’s able to sense that you want hot water, and it will almost instantly heat up the water running through it.

Yey 7 tours today! First and last apartments were my favorites!

[@kayleehong7818]

Midea AC is possibly the quietest Window AC on the market, noisy components are outside the window.

2:25 Cash ... who does laundry while they sleep ?? 😆

[@duringthemeanwhilst]

I was going to leave a joke here in the comments, then I saw the prices for these places and thought there was no way I could beat that so...

[@mrcfromwhimsicallaboratory6504]

Okay that 4 bed 2 bath for $8,995 rent. Divide that into 4 week weekly salary which would be $2,248.75. Hourly you would have to make $56.21. My common sense is trying to rap my brain as to how many people make this hourly wage? Even coming out of college or a university, "Not many people make this an hour or monthly! So your paying this rent for a year and giving the landlord $107.940.00 a year to rent and apartment that is smaller than a home? Let's just say you stay in this apartment for 5 years. You just gave the landlord $539.700.00 for 5 years of a rental? This does not include the electricity monthly and No private parking for a excessive rental price? You state and in your own words, "this has a legit backyard, awsome bedrooms, dishwasher, standard stuff, high ceilings, narrow whining staircase, pretty sweet basement, toilet that refills itself, a room without windows, clean building, a grate outside your bedroom window", and right outside grand street? What a great location for a mere $107,940.00 a years rent? Am I the only one that sees this as being so wrong? I lived in New York City for about 23 years. Uptown Manhattan, Midtown, Queens, and Brooklyn. NYC is always my home and the restaurants, things to do, and parks are great when you are living there. Seriously there is more to life out there and you will never experience this until you actually take the leap of faith and venture into the world. Life should not be rent, restaurants, and so called convinces that are not even that realistic. Rent, food, and transportation should not take more than 60% to 70% of your weekly or bi-weekly wages. This is not living. Life goes fast and when you look at your past you will realize you have been paying for a box that in the end, "you do not even own" and in the end as you get older, you will realize you cannot afford the ever rising prices of rents and you will be looking for another more convenient and affordable place to stay unless you are will willing to live in a senior living home. Take your money and invest in your futures and travel everywhere. My parents lived in the same apartment in the upper west side. They never purchased a home or an apartment. Once they retired in their mid 60's they purchased a home in another state and they were able to enjoy it for 1 year and my Mother passed away. During that one year my Mother told me she never knew how wonderful and peaceful it was to have your own home and having your own backyard. She was finally in peace. One year later she passed away. My parents throughout all the years they went up 4 flights of stairs. All the snowstorms, many of the blackouts during some of the summers, and year after year the noise, bothersome neighbors year after year. The crime rates and public transportation stories since the 1966 until 2020. My father finally realized that the NYC always was his city but it came at a cost. He wishes he would of seen that years ago. So in short, live life and if you feel like renting is your life long goals, "Much respect and would never tell you to do otherwise" but to pay $2000+ for a rental is not acceptable or realistic. If the landlords and owners of these buildings are paying too much on yearly taxes and whatever insurances they pay, "They need to do something to change this laws and stop making renters pay these hefty prices" well Thank you for reading my rant and I am sorry I wrote all of this but it bothered me to see these rents and in Cash own words in many of his own videos where even he is saying he can't afford some of these rents when he is a professional and I assume he makes great money from these videos and his own rentals. I wish Cash and his beautiful family the best of luck and Thank You for all your videos and Please continue your passion for what you do. Appreciate everyone's time and I do apologize beforehand if I have grammatically not written this rant corrctly. Thank You. Mr. C.

That is the truth and you said it sincerely.

@@vincentgoupil180 Thank you for pointing my errors. Being a bully fits you nicely. Next time try to be a better mentor or teacher. I hope you are not like this in real life. I did apologize beforehand in my horribly written review.

[@radolfkalis4041]

I don't understand HOW anyone can afford to live anywhere but the gutter in NY. My mortgage and utilities are $800/month, 4 bed, 2 bath, 1500 sqf. Eeesh.

[@gtofabulas]

The rent is is beyond gouging it’s hole digging. I can pay my mortgage and assessments for an entire year for what this place costs in one month, plus I have 1k sq. Ft. with in unit laundry, walk in closets. Formal dining room and private storage and let’s not forget, 2 parking spots and only 4 units in the building. Quiet tree lined street with shopping only 2 blocks away and public transportation.

[@notconvincedgranny6573]

The first one you toured with Charles was the best of the bunch, and that's still not saying much.

[@nygrl6102]

Tiny bedrooms, no natural light in the living rooms, no elevators! Exhorbitant rents! Yeah! Great places!

[@dianap8012]

Love seeing all the apartments. The last apartment in this vid, with the window AC from the manufacturer you've never heard of before (Midea), is actually the best! I researched replacing my old window AC & this is what I purchased. The weird U shape, with the main body of the unit on the outside, means all the noise is kept outside. I don't even hear it running. The window can be opened with the window AC installed. It is also more energy efficient.

[@Zinniagarden24]

A slip and slide, a fridge that opens on the New York side, shot gun bedrooms, a suck in your gut shower, potentially a roof top garden to schlep up pounds and pounds of soil, all for 7k. Yeah buddy

[@donnapaquette9231]

Lol! 👍

[@denverdubois5835]

Excellent use of the word "shlep".

[@traceyfreeman5784]

I liked the same kitchen in the 2nd building. That patio backyard was the coolest. I’m handicapped so first floor is important if there is no elevator. Good video Cash.

[@nakeasimone13]

At the first place, it looks like those two rooms facing east used to be one big room and they just added a divider wall and jacked up the price.. I swear anyway to get more money out of people

[@PopsieLouisiana59]

Those landlords are completely insane. The rad covers and pipe covers in that one place are perfect.

[@IzzyOnTheMove]

Actually they are smart and making loads of money 🤷‍♀

[@10-OSwords]

I don't know about NY but I'm pretty sure NO egress window = illegal & NOT a bedroom. Cannot be marketed as a bedroom.

[@angelaf5040]

I live in Kansas City. Its no where near the size of NYC but we have about 2.9 million people so it's a city. These apartments you've shown run around $850 here with a gym and parking stallS, yes, 2. It's just mind blowing the cost of rent there! I mean what do people do for jobs to make that kind of money? I'm A retired RN and my partner is a psychotherapist and we couldn't afford any of these places!!

[@buffysback2800]

I think the only person that could afford these apartments is the bathroom tile sales rep since they all seem to have the same tile 😂

[@Life_Universe_Everything]

I don’t plan on living in NYC, it’s far to expensive, but I love see these apartments

[@youyong28]

In the recent past, people used to pay "key money" in Chinatown to rent an apartment. I don't know if it was paid to the tenant living there or to the landlord. More and more there are apartments without living room windows, turning the living room into another bedroom. The Grand Street apartment does have a living room with windows. It is the best one.

Yo! Who does the Music 🎶 in your Videos? Smooth Grooves man! I am happy they let the tree stay. With all the talk of climate change, no one ever brings up deforestation.
