An apartment that 'has no issues'



A reader who is looking for a new apartment shared this listing for a nice place on East Seventh Street between Avenue B and Avenue C... the reader was both amused, and, later, horrified, by the description...

The previous occupant was a master carpenter/environmentalist and it shows! Every room has AT LEAST ONE WINDOW!

Nice! What else?

Basically the apt has no issues. All the bedrooms are a nice size. It's not on ave D, it's not above a bar, its not near a hospital or on a strange block. It's actually on a well lit, active residential tree lined street.

Per the reader: "'Not on Avenue D'? Just what are they trying to say?"

Also, the apartment has been rented.

    If you cram three recent NYU grads into it, that drops it to $1200 each - plenty of money left over for bar crawls.

    Funny, I have a lovely rent stabilized 2 BR on Avenue D for $2,000 less than this. I don't mind living on a block with people of different races and economic classes coexisting.
