Living Inside New York’s WORST Apartment…

Words cannot describe what living in a place like this is actually like. New York City takes a lot out of you, and when you consider the prices of apartments like this, it might seem like living here is near-impossible. Good thing the landlord plans to renovate.

[@Michelle-ti9ez]

When the fridge doesn’t open completely you can’t get the drawers to pull out completely, which could make it so you can’t get to all your food. But also it means you can’t properly cleanly your fridge cause you can’t take the drawers out to clean under them or even all the way in them. That’s a problem. They need to stop making spaces that are too small for appliances

[@jackies5481]

I was thinking that as well. That left crisper drawer is a future science project.

It's a minor thing that can easily be worked on. The drawers TURN them to side and I'm sure they will come out to clean. I remember back in the day I lived in these apartments but guess what, that's when they were really bad and landlords didn't give a F... so yea seeing how these Apts have changed from then to now and to hear something like " frig door don't open all way " smmfh lol makes me laugh at how I had to maneuver around the places I've been in nyc.

The 1st apartment with the standing water in the tub is a red flag 🚩 That 2nd apartment with all that garbage in the entrance turned me off and I probably wouldn’t 😢have even went any further because of it. Charles saved the day.

[@JaniceWithTheTarlovCyst]

I live in a nice building, since I'm on Ontario Disability, I have RGI. When I moved in, the water in the tub wasn't draining properly and I ended up with fungal infections on both ankles and feet. It took the admin in the building about 2 weeks to get it sorted out. I have 2 things against me here. I'm not French (I live in a building that used to be exclusively for French speaking ppl) plus I'm one of about a dozen apartments who are reserved for RGI tenants. Ugh. I grew up in a place that is predominantly French and could speak it quite well. Moved away at 12 and really didn't have an opportunity to speak French, so 40 years later, I'm lost. I can understand my fair share, but I don't let on because I love it when ppl are talking about me, specifically the way I dress; I'm not into senior fashion at all. 😅

[@Smart_Think]

Roach infested!

[@davidwholly5209]

I thought the same thing. If I had seen that garbage at the entrance, I would have turned around and walked right back out. That really tells you something about your neighbors.

[@roshi98]

Fewer things piss me off more than grossly overpriced apartments where the landlords are clearly phoning it in. The lack of pride in those first two offerings are huge red flags that any issues which might come up will not be promptly addressed.

[@chuckwagon7354]

Thank goodness Charles appeared and saved the vid. Those first two apartments were diabolical. How any landlord would think they are acceptable accommodation, or can get away with presenting them as such. Pure greed.

[@j.kristineemmons]

If you're charging that much, I think you can do some repairs...

Cash shows a variety, Charles uses Cash to show high end listings. That doesn't necessarily mean Charles deals exclusively in higher quality digs... I'm sure Charles' needs the additional advertising, provided by Cash, to rent his higher priced units.

[@demijour1234]

Love the rapport you and Charles have when you get together and include him in your videos. Love it.

[@Bobrogers99]

The first one, no place to sleep. For $4,000 you'd get a claustrophobic sleeping slot and a basement with no windows. For $2,800 you get a 5th-floor walkup - better, but both places are tired, abused and gross. Charles to the rescue! For $4,450 you get an oddball layout but lots of space, a communal courtyard and two bathrooms. For $5,250 you get large rooms, great kitchen and a view, clean but pricey! For $8,900 you get some luxury and living space, three very different bedrooms and your own bathroom, also pricey for having to share.

[@kimxigg2158]

A "sleeping slot" love it😄 that could be a new selling feature and it comes with its own claustrophobic sleeping slot!

[@raaid22]

Yeah but most people can't even afford the $2,800 one on their own, so...

[@jazzpants]

2nd apartment has potential but seeing that bug and the weird bathroom did itself in. Charles always has really nice apartments, but you’ll pay lots for them. If it’s worth the money is up to you to decide. The landlord for the luxury 3BR apartment needs to fix those damages on the walls… and for almost $9K a month, I had hoped for an in unit washer/dryer and a gym downstairs.

Did you see the garbage piled in the entrance hallway? In nyc, that is prime hint that the building is roach infested

Cash, I'm a little disappointed in you. Know that I'm one of your biggest fans and I've watched your videos from the very beginning; when you used to do only 3 videos a week. I miss seeing you run down the stairs at your previous office. Anyhew, in the past, if you opened the apt door and the apt was in bad condition with debris everywhere, you would turn around and go to another apt. It wasn't sanitary for you to walk around that filth. Having said that, I agree with you in saying the apt has potential. Please give us a second tour of the apt once it's been cleaned up. The third apt, Charles's listing for $4,450 is Absolutely Fabulous!

[@bonniepwtf]

I miss those stair runs too😊

[@jackies5481]

I really enjoy your videos although I'm priced out of the NYC market and where I live in NJ is really getting expensive. I love it when you meet up with Charles even though his apartments are usually even more out of my price range. I have subscribed to his videos as well.
