An EVG reader found this paper discarded on Avenue A — a rental list for Jared Kushner's Westminster City Living properties in the East Village...
"I'm sure this info isn't secret, but it's interesting to see it all here on one piece of paper," the reader noted.
The least-expensive rental on the sheet is $2,450 for a studio on East 11th Street... topping out at $5,999 for a four-bedroom residence on East 12th Street.
Three beds, one bath, and paying five grand is what's living above me, oh this explains SO much. A pox on your shouty, door-slamming, can't-throw-away-garbage-properly asses. xoxo the person below you who detests you ... and if you have that constantly barky dog I'm pretty sure the dog hates you too! who lets their dog bark forever like that!

I live by 435 and can't imagine there being a four-bedroom apartment in there. The bedrooms must be tiny.
ReplyDeleteLil Jared has to prove his worth to Daddy Donald and Ivanka
ReplyDeleteThose are market rate rents, people. My building facing 2nd Ave, top floor 3 bed, 1 bath $7,000. The rent laws as currently written allow for decontrol of regulated apartments. And younger developers are willing to spend more for by-outs because in the short and long run they are worth every penny. This is why so many small building are being asembled and torn down. The rent laws are encouraging it.
ReplyDeleteIt is fucking criminal how much rents are in NYC. Its almost laughable. In order to remain eligible for most of these coveted apartments, one must also make 40x the rent or find a guarantor for 80x the rent, which is patently absurd for a rental, especially since you're not signing for a mortgage. If you're in the arts or do creative work, how in the hell do you co-exist in the city without fixating on mere survival? If you're not a trust fund baby or taking a hand out from your parents, how is this done in an uncertain economy, in a job market where there is an over saturation of applicants?
ReplyDeleteAs a long time resident (16 years and counting) I question how long I can remain here if wages don't accelerate. As adults, how do we justify spending obscene amounts of money to live in a box in a walkup? I am starting to think if I am crazy for putting up with the bullshit of NYC. For the exception of San Francisco, our city continues to climb to staggering figures toward living expenses.
thank god cmartyy is here to set us dummies straight. It's not like any of us live in rent stabilized apartments or anything
ReplyDeleteWestminster and 9300 are notorious for being over priced. Sure they can be no fee, but their management / no. of employees is so overkill with overhead, and tenants are paying for renovations which are half sham half unneccesary. There are better smaller landlords out there not chargining these over the top prices. The problem is kush and croman own so many units in the EV their fair market game seems the norm. Boycott 'em if you can.
ReplyDeleteWestminster combined 2 railroads into a 6BR (2 are windowless & illegal), 3 Bath dormitory for $10,000/month! The 6th floor walk-up penthouses (4BR) that they built on E. 9 are $8000.00/month! Many of these new tenants are AirBnB'ing a room to help cover the rent that Mom & Dad or their banker/broker jobs can't cover.
ReplyDeleteRe: the one crossed out. Does that mean those other over-estimated ones are available.
ReplyDeleteMight be some decent person wanted this be found or this was discarded in disgust for lack of interest for them. But these dwellings will most likely be bought and never occupied as with those billionaire row towers/new offshore accounts and filthy lucre deposit boxes. Or if AirBNB gets what they want from the state, like free reign and impunity over every building in every boro as it was before
I'd like to know where are and how can all these app-servants live if they can't afford 3 large for a walk-up or 2000 for a utility closet.
This corrupt mayor and the REBNY sith lord collective has to be brought down hard.
There are other options people. I have a large market rate apartment that's priced fairly below market rate and my landlord offers 2 year leases at a stabilized(ish) increase each term. Am I paying 3x that of my rent stabilized neighbors? Yes, but it's worth it for the space I have and the friendliness of the landlord and super. Don't take the first place you see!
ReplyDeleteIf I was wealthy and had young adult or college student age children I would certainly not pay that much rent for these shit apartments no matter how much my little brat whined and moaned. It would make more sense to buy a condo in just about any other neighborhood in the city than to dump money here. So who is really paying these inflated rents? Is it the first job millennials, their upper middle class parents or a combination. The endless supply of transients on every block tells me there is no end in sight.
ReplyDeleteYet the buzzer/intercom at 500 E 11th is down for the 6th time so far this year. The hallways are never cleaned. There's beeping in the stairwell from fire detectors that needs the batteries replaced. Anything repairwise takes a minimum of 3 days. Who's going to pay $3,000 for a no doorman, no elevator, shithole in that building?
ReplyDelete9:30 AM: Who is paying these rents? If a 3-bedroom is split three ways it's about $1600 to 1800 a month. Split it four ways, and now everyone can live in the EV for $1200 to $1400 month. I'd say $1400 is affordable if you are grossing $1000 or so a week and don't have substantial college debt and don't eat at Momofuku Ko every night...
ReplyDeleteICON does the same to their buildings: rehab empty apartments with Potemkin village like amenities, charge $6000/month, but keep the rest of place as crappy as ever. And yet, the apartments are all rented!
ReplyDeleteI live in a kushner building. Laziest management ever.
ReplyDeleteWhat the HELL are you talking about 9:58pm?
ReplyDeleteAccording to paycheckcity.com 1000 gross a week for a single unmarried NYC resident who claims him/herself as an independent is 735.67 net a week.
735.67 net a week x 4 weeks a month = 2942.68 net a month - 1400 rent = 1542.68 - food (groceries and dining out), tv, internet, cellphone, health insurance, haircut, at least one movie out a month, possible 116.50 monthly unlimited ride pass. And this is assuming you don't have a car.
Just under 2950 is unlivable or it is if you do nothing but work, eat, sleep, and shit.
@ 8:11 PM: Some jobs pay for your health insurance, last time I looked. There's no legal requirement that you have cable or satellite TV. At any rate, it would be split three or four ways. I agree you can't live without internet service, but is a haircut once a month necessary for most non-military persons? And a car? Why would you need a car if your living in the E.V., unless your working in New Jersey?
ReplyDeleteThat's the apt # and NOT the number of bedrooms
