30 Times People Were Shocked At How Bad New York Apartments Are And Posted These Pics As Proof

Are those... dead mice?

Only Thin Man could actually use that mini-stove and forget the opening the oven door all the way.

Anyone remember Ross' appartement hunt, where he views the tiniest of studio flats with a bathtub next to the kitchenette? Naive me thought it was a joke...

Seems like landlords are just shoving all 'necessities' in the apartment

*private window, not over-looked*

Sure, why would you need a sink when you have a perfectly good shower? :-D

No, it's not. It's actually very smart. You can prepare your breakfast and take a shower simultaneously and the morning routine convenience here cannot be overstated.

I believe that's what a property agent would call a 'pied-à-terre'.

Some people are about creating solutions.

I used to rent a room like this for about a year in Chicago, smaller though, but for $250. And yes, it was a transformed closet.

correct me if I’m wrong, but I call it a room, not an apartment

Makes you appreciate the wisdom of "don't sh*t where you eat"

the bathtub on the left :))))

I’m sure there’s nothing scary or alive in that dark hole… go ahead… turn the light on, it’ll probably be fine.

So you are renting a damn corridor.

As someone who has been apartment hunting in New York, I don’t mind this?? For $800?

I've seen better appointed caravans!

It's so depressing.

Come move to Oregon our apartments are cheap and they their own toilet each

Remember the “‘Morning’s hereee, the morning’s here.. Sunshine is here..” scene from Friends?

But look at that exposed brick.

That's...actually not too bad - both even open up all the way and at the same time, even.

Is that a fire door?

Looks like they took large apartments and split them into smaller ones then added random stuff that couldn't fit in the actual rooms it was to go to.

Semi-private ??????

Is it about the door stopper or uneven floor? Both are not as bad as many instances above.

did you use a potato to take the picture

Or you can just shoot someone and get an 8.5 X 14 foot prison cell for free.

Actually, we've just seen smaller on this thread. "Roommate has to walk through your apartment to get to theirs" tops this by a looong shot.

This is normal in Europe where we don't generally have basements or laundry rooms.

This is just pitiful-- a literal jail cell would be nicer than this piece of crap.

It's actually a rational layout compared to others in this thread. But $5000 a month? $60,000 a year?

Pole dancing for big people

How is this even legal?

I see this one is popular.

For 740 this is not terrible. Hopefully there is a bathroom and kitchenette.

I've got friends that live in NYC, and sadly, most of these are accurate. This one, though, I call bullsh!t on. It's tile floor, only a urinal, and a mini size door - that's just a mini bathroom somewhere, not an apartment rental.

This is wild planning for sure, but otherwise not that bad?
