Someone Built an Apartment on an NYC Roof…

[@Knightraven000]

I started watching this channel because my ex gf wanted to move to NY from AZ and I wanted to show her how expensive rents are. Now I enjoy every video! Cash is articulate, informative, intelligent and funny! 😁

$6,300/month and Rent Stabilization? Lord, have mercy! Rent control for the wealthy... It's a BEAUTIFUL apartment! The only negative that I have is that the gym only offers dumb bells up to 50lbs. Oh! and, cleaning that "to the ceiling" glass shower! But, if anyone is able to afford $6,300/month then that same person can endure a year of torture and live for much less with their parents, siblings, friends, whatever, and SAVE that type of money to use as a down payment to OWN something. Again, it's a BEAUTIFUL apartment but not at $6,300/month, IMHO.

[@Starstar-ux8oe]

u right

[@StuftBanana]

If one can afford 6,300 a month, they can probably afford a cleaning service. *Or invest in a squeegee. 😬

[@MamaCarola1]

If someone can afford $6300 for rent they don't need rent stabilized housing. We need truly AFFORDABLE housing with rent stabilization for people who aren't rich

[@sinash]

@@MamaCarola1 I AGREE WITH YOU 100%, Mama!!!

[@NormanF62]

Its a 1000 sq ft my friend and that’s rare for NY. If you could afford it, you’d want to live your entire life and die there. An absolutely insane deal in an era where you’re at the mercy of your landlord. Not here.

[@debefeldman]

I like this place. The neighborhood is great, lots of food and Deli cat lives there so it must be a good place. Thanks Cash.

[@MszMekaa]

Love the fact the apartments are rent stabilized. Nice location, nice amenities, nice rooftop.

[@joannahampton5979]

What Cash calls a "walk-in closet" is just so cute 🤗

Lower your standards cause a walk in closet in NYC is actually a whole apt. with a shelf that is your bedroom 😂.

Don't know what I'd do w/out my daily dose of Cash!! Ty!

[@Bobrogers99]

This one pretty much checks all the boxes, with all the amenities that someone would need or want, though the subway trip to Manhattan would be relatively long. Even split, the rent is high, but increases in future years will be reasonable.

[@jeanhansel5805]

This is a nice respite from seeing those cramped, overpriced, renovated walk-ups you posted recently. I like that the bedrooms are at the opposite end of the apartment from each other. I even like the open concept kitchen/living room combo, which usually is not something I like, but in this apartment it works well. Rent stabilization is indeed a plus.

[@FrankiesFancy]

Ok so kitty knows where to get his food for the day but...I hope he gets plenty of head rubs too. Seems so friendly and sweet and everyone needs a little love every once in awhile. I did like this apartment but it's getting to be a drag looking at nice things that I'll never be able to afford. I'd put dwarf fruit trees outside that bedroom window. Lemon, apple, orange, apricot...kitchen is nice but really dark.

[@653j521]

[@acciotardisalohomora6302]

I love how open this buildings floor plans are!! This one is probably this first one that jumped out too me & my bf

[@figmo397]

Nice apartment overall! I prefer the hall bathroom because it's got that nice deep bathtub instead of only a standing shower. It's nice that there are two full bathrooms, enabling whoever's living there to both get ready for work at the same time. The rent seems a bit steep for something that doesn't have in-unit laundry, though.

[@NormanF62]

$6300 rent stabilized for a 1000 sq ft rooftop apartment in Williamsburg? Pretty rare for NY all that space and the view of Manhattan is cool. Its the ultimate NY penthouse. I can see it going fast for whoever has the money to move in because like Cash says, that lease would last longer than your relationship. I can’t see anything wrong with it apart from the cost of furnishing it. This tells everyone you’ve made it.

[@gingerstark619]

LOVE the editing of this video Cash! What fun! The apartment was beautiful- I loved the tile in the bathroom. I would spend a lot of time on that roof deck 👍🏼

[@dougjohnson5487]

After watching a year of Cash's vids of NYC apartments my conclusion is living in NYC is a living hell, pure torture at every turn. The overwhelming filth and vandalism and all for obscene rents.

[@653j521]

Wow. Suffering from anxiety or depression?

[@heathersmith4626]

There have been tons of really nice places in decent areas. Big City living is very different from living in smaller cities or suburbs. NYC is not so bad.

[@tyler7150]

LOL, stay where you are then

[@cathynewyork7918]

Well, you are missing the point -- living in NYC is vibrant and exciting -- worth all the nasty stuff we have to put up with. NYC is Broadway theater, the opera at Lincoln Center, world-class art museums, the New York City Marathon and 50 other running races a year, great historical buildings and brownstone neighborhoods, and vibrant street festivals. NYC is WORTH the inconveniences!

[@dougpassat]

Broke from furnishing it not from that ridiculous rent. Makes perfect sense.

[@Randy8923]

Very nice spacious apartment. Enjoyed.

[@Mikidy303]

When I hear rent stabilized, my brain tells me it's going to be affordable. But I guess it also means it can be stabilized on the higher end. Nice place though.

[@kimchi168]

Stabilized for non poor people

[@rajamicitrenti1374]

Just means it will eventually he cheap for you if you move in now and stay for 30 years.

[@donniemoder1466]

My rant on rent stabilization: The rent stabilized system is sometimes an arbitrary, random, inequitable mess. For instance, you can have the exact same apartment than the one below in your building and you could be paying twice as much rent. You may be making half as much money as that renter below you, but be paying twice as much rent. A lot of the new rent stabilized housing is needs based when you first move in, but if your salary quadruples after you move in, your rent stays the same and you don't get kicked out. The older rent stabilized housing is generally not needs based. The turnover of the lower priced rent stabilized units is very low, so your chances of getting those extreme bargains are very very low. Since half of the rental in NYC are not market rate rent, i.e., they are rent stabilized, rent controlled, Section 8, Mitchell Lama or NYCHA public housing, that makes the market rate apartments much more expensive.

Hi Cash, love your videos on New York City. Besides the apartments I like how you show us the surrounding stores, shops, coffee houses and restaurants.But I have to say that I am a fan of Dunkin Doughnuts coffee.

First off..I know someone who drinks Chicory in their coffee! And you Sir are absolutely right! That or Cinnamon! 😜 Very pretty place. Loved the kitchen. It would be great c a super unique island of some sort. And the outdoor space is great! Thanks again for the work you put into your vids! Just so we can sit back and enjoy 😌😊

[@653j521]

Chicory was a poor person's drink in the Depression, when you couldn't afford coffee, or much coffee so stretched it with chicory. My mother didn't mind drinking it now and then but my father really disliked it.

I thought that building out the back bedroom window looked familiar, it’s the oddly shaped Hotel Indigo you can see from the BQE! Not sure it’s worth that much if you have to live next to a hotel, but the L & G stop is literally right in front of the hotel.
