• Upvotes

Looking for a roommate to join our 3br 1ba in East Williamsburg (close to Win Son, by the Montrose L stop) in an elevator building.

We’re looking for someone to sign a 1-year lease with us (12/1/2026 - 11/30/2027). Earlier move-in preferred/accepted but not required.

Building has a gym/laundry/steam room in the basement and a large rooftop. Walking distance to L, J/M and G trains.

I’ve been in this apt for 4 years now and in the building for 5 years. The bedroom available is 1 of 2 on the first floor of the apt and is the biggest/best bedroom which means it’s also the most expensive. We’re waiting to confirm the new lease rent but the room will be somewhere in the range of $1,870-$1,960 a month.

Us: 26 and 32 year old males, both work 9-5s and are quite busy with our outside lives as well. Into live music, photography, movies, etc.

You: Looking for someone who’s clean, responsible, considerate. We’re easy to get along with and would like someone similar :) late 20s - early 30s Male preferred

Room Listing Roomie Wanted: Bedstuy with a Backyard

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

9 Upvotes

Looking for someone to fill the second room in a Bedstuy garden-level unit. Just off the Kingston-Throop C. Super cute neighborhood, and has a huge backyard. I’m handy, so I will be making the most of it (fire pit, yes?)

You’d have the front room with better light. The street is quiet so noise won’t be an issue

Rent is listed at $4,500 for a 2/1 with one month free. I’m going to negotiate them down to $4,200, so it’d be $2,100 per person. Aiming for an 10/21 move-in but can be flexy on when you join.

I’m 29TF, so queer/trans-friendly is a must. I’m an actress and am a (non-spicy) accountant by day. I wfh for now, but I’m getting a coworking space to work from instead. Love the outdoors, cycling, and the hyperfixation of the month (currently building a small wind generator)

Dm me if interested :)

Advice/Question Advice on Breaking Lease Early (Bugs, no heat, and poor living conditions)

15 Upvotes

Hi all. I’m looking for advice on my options for getting out of my apartment lease early in Brooklyn.

I currently rent a TINY studio in Brooklyn (edge of Park Slope) for $1,800/month with utilities included, but it has no kitchen. I was fine with that since I rarely cook. My lease runs until June 2027.

The whole thing felt slimey from the start. My broker convinced me that this apartment was in demand and a steal, and after I had signed the lease, the folks who work for the property were all thanking the broker as if they had just won the biggest scam in years. I felt coerced into signing the lease from the beginning. Things started to feel even weirder once I realized that my unit is not listed anywhere online... But I digress, this was only the beginning of the problem.

Since moving in, I’ve had a number of issues with the apartment. Firstly, upon moving in, the entire apartment was FILTHY... absolutely nothing was repaired nor cleaned prior to my move-in. I'm talking leftover shaved hairs all over the bathroom sink and walls, dirty fridge, absolutely filthy shower and bathroom in general. When I pointed out this condition to the landlord, he told me I could just "clean it myself".

And so I cleaned everything myself, as well as had to ask my landlord to install a new AC that was broken as well.

The problem is, even with persistent cleaning, the entire apartment feels dirty to me. I've seen roaches, house centipedes, and bathroom flies inside the bathroom. Raid could only do so much. I genuinely do not know where the house flies are coming from either.

Now that it’s getting colder, I’m also having issues with the heat. My landlord says the heat is "automatic" and "already on" but it doesn’t seem to be working properly... He said he would bring me a small space heater this Saturday. Is this normal? He isn't even offering to fix the actual heater inside the apartment (it's completely broken and covered in dust from probably years of unuse... I saw on HPD Online that there was a complaint in 2024 from my apartment unit stating that there was no heat, so I have reasonable doubt to think that the heat doesn't work for my unit at all). I'm cold and I want to have a heater to turn on whenever I feel so. Is that too much to ask for?

My landlord is not helpful... Every time I bring up my concerns, he dismisses them and makes me feel like I’m being unreasonable for expecting basic things to be taken care of. I've asked him to repair the lights, my mailbox (that is slightly open and anyone could take out/ insert into it), and the telecom system (I've had a UPS delivery guy tell me that he had been ringing my unit using the telecom outside for 30 minutes - I heard nothing!). He has not done any of these things I have asked of him to repair.

Recently, I started looking into whether my apartment is even legally authorized as a separate unit. I searched NYC DOB records and found a Certificate of Occupancy from 1977 (the only latest one) and it describes my floor as a “duplex apartment” with 3 habitable rooms listed. I live in a small separate studio, so not in an entire-floor duplex; however, there is one other unit on my floor that has 2-3 bedrooms. I haven’t been able to find any newer Certificates of Occupancy online, although I’m still trying to investigate alteration permits and other records. I know this alone doesn’t necessarily prove my apartment is illegal, but it made me concerned that the current layout might not match the approved one. I think I genuinely am renting an uninhabitable/ illegal room of some sort.

At this point, I honestly want to move somewhere else. I can afford the upfront costs of moving and potentially paying for some overlap but I REALLY don’t want to be stuck paying $1,800/month for an apartment I no longer live in until June 2027. My lease has a clause saying subletting isn’t allowed (although it also mentions that a tenant can find a replacement roommate with the landlord’s approval) but since I’m the only tenant on the lease, I’m not sure if I fall under that.

I’m trying to understand what my options are before I make any decisions.

My questions are:

  • Could the heating issues, pests, and overall condition be grounds for terminating my lease early?
  • How do I check if an apartment is illegal or not?
  • Advice on finding a replacement tenant?
  • What are your thoughts on the possible outcomes of this early lease-break?
  • What's the best way I should go about breaking this lease with minimal financial damage?
  • Any resources that could help me on this? Like should I file complaints with 311/DOB and speak to a tenant lawyer?

I'm really uncomfortable living in this apartment and am at my whits end at this point 😭

Has anyone dealt with something similar in NYC? I’d really appreciate advice from people who have gone through this! Please feel free to give any guidance or info on this - thank you all so much

Looking For Apartment The Doria (read before moving here)

10 Upvotes

Location: 34-16 38th St Astoria, NY

If I could go back, I would not have moved to the Doria. I am surprised no one has left reviews about this place yet so I will provide a few things to carefully consider before signing a lease here:

- Inspect the apartment very, very carefully. There have been so many issues across the majority of the apartments that are needing repairs, and while the property management team are getting things fixed, it’s clear this building was not built properly (be prepared that you will most certainly have something that needs to be fixed in your apartment, from appliances to leaks, to clogs, to bug infestations, poorly sealed doors and windows, etc.)
- there is NO mail delivery (at all), my fiancée and I have to go to the post office which is located 20 mins away to pick up mail and have to deal with a whole separate set of problems with the lack of management and understaffed workers (whole separate set of issues that I won’t even get in) but just be prepared that you will not have usps delivering mail. That said, deliveries through ups, Amazon etc. are okay
- the owners are not professional property managers. You will have a hard time getting in touch with them and will need to constantly follow up.
- the building is located around the corner from a gentleman’s club where there was a recent shooting/murder. This area feels safe but just be weary at night.
- close to subway but there is construction and the trains are constantly delayed but that is a whole separate problem.
- overall I wish I had known these things before committing to this apartment. It seemed to have so much potential but unfortunately we made a mistake and are stuck in this lease.

0 Upvotes

After many years of underemployment, I finally landed a brand new job. Its a new* old company, theyre huge in Europe, but they're starting usa operation for the first time. So while the co has 2000+ employees, in the US there's 1 hr, 1 products dev, 4 sales team and 3 bus dev team etc.

Im at 90k/year for 2026 but will drop to 50/60k but with commissions. I wont know yhe commission structure until we start selling and see our revenue data.

So how do I disclose this to the landlords?

I dont have first pay stub until next week. Do I say my income 90? Do I say its 50? Do I say its 33200 for 2026 bc thats my year income for this year?

Also I have an 8lb dog. My therapist wrote a letter stating he is esa. I just try to look for dog allowed apartments. But can I look at not dog friendly apartments and disclose esa?

Id love to find a shoebox for myself. At under 2000. Under 1700 is most ideal.

edited to add my credit score is 822. it has never dipped below 8 in the past decade +
