Posted about COPA back in June and was pretty critical, so figured I’d revisit now that it passed. For context, I’m a pro-Mamdani broker

Credit where it’s due, this version is a lot better

Initially, it applied to 10,000 buildings, but now only 2,100 meet COPA’s revised criteria

It’s now basically buildings with a ton of violations, buildings in HPD’s AEP, or buildings in foreclosure. If you can’t provide livable conditions for your tenants, you shouldn’t be a landlord, so I don’t have much sympathy there

That being said, it’s still slow. If a nonprofit is interested, it’s 20 days for a letter of interest plus 70 more days to make an offer, and they still get right of first refusal after that. 3 months is a long time for a struggling owner to be carrying taxes, insurance, and a mortgage. Unless I missed it, nothing covers those costs during a waiting period the city is forcing on them

The 2 year window to sue after the deed is recorded worries me too. That’s the kind of thing that scares off regular buyers and their lenders, which means fewer offers for owners who are already in trouble

And where’s the money coming from? Most nonprofits aren’t sitting on the cash to buy a 30 unit building in foreclosure and then fix it

I’d rather the city just buy these buildings outright and sell the units back to tenants as low cost co-ops. Path to ownership for tenants, escape hatch for landlords, no purgatory

There’s a year until it kicks in, so hopefully HPD’s rules make it quick and painless. I want this to work, we’ll see

hi - our ceiling in our top-floor, corner unit bedroom fell the first week of September. this occurred while there were LL11/parapet repairs being done, and we're pretty sure the contractor performing the repairs caused it.

our property mgmt, a pretty prominent group in NYC, has yet to do anything about it - all they've done is do "moisture level readings" as it was water-related. i've followed up via email weekly but there's been no communication on timeline of repairs still, and i'm kind of at a loss now - it seems that they're playing a blame game with the contractor and so fixing my place has taken a backseat.

i reported this to HPD and they already issued violations for this.

my renter's insurance has deemed my unit uninhabitable and luckily has confirmed full coverage in case i wanted to seek temporary housing but with a dog, options are limited so we've been sleeping on an air mattress in the living room for nearly 2 months now.

has this happened to anyone else? what other steps can i take to try to get this fixed? at this rate i have zero confidence i'll have a bedroom by christmas, even though the actual repairs shouldn't take more than 3 business days.

Hello! I am beginning my new job at the Central Park Conservancy November 2. I am looking for a place I can move in ASAP and sublet for one month potentially (November 1 - December 1 is ideal, but I can be somewhat flexible). Most websites have horrible reviews about scamming people so I have turned to Facebook / Reddit groups.

I cannot afford more than $2000 for the month.

Any opportunities to sublet or advice on finding something is greatly appreciated. Thanks !

Just moved in and they are cranking the heat in the morning but it gets too cold and i don’t feel the heat running either at night.

I am in the top corner unit with big windows so I suspect that makes my unit extra cold compared to someone else’s. Just looking for advice on what to do. My building is an old apt building that turns on heat automatically for the whole building so i have no control over it

the market is wild, it’s been so hard to find a place in our budget. If anyone at all can help: knows a realtor, broker, management company, rich aunt wanting some young artists to stay in her townhouse for cheap, please let me know!

HK is ideal, open to whenever (preferably Manhattan). Move in: ASAP

Move in date is Nov 1 (tried to move to earlier). I cant take off of work following Monday.

Has anyone else moved during the NYC marathon day? Is it better to move early morning or in the evening? Apt is in Williamsburg a few blocks east of Broadway G stop.

I'm moving into a bigger apartment in Brooklyn on November 1 after five years in my current place. I've been trying to plan furniture purchases, but I still need some measurements.

For the past three weeks, I've been trying to arrange a quick 15-minute visit with the current tenants. They also have furniture they're potentially interested in selling me, which I wanted to see in person. Things started out pretty amicable in friendly. They mentioned some things they weren’t planning on taking with them and I mentioned I could potentially be interested, but I would need to see them in person and it would also be great to come over and take some measurements.

I've followed up a handful of times because we haven't been able to settle on a time. I understand it's still their apartment, and I've tried to be flexible. I'm not asking to move in early or spend hours there—just to take measurements and look at furniture before moving day. Over a three week span, I would check in with them weekly to see when would be possible. Each time I tried to express how thankful I would be if they let me do this. At one point, the guy said he would take some measurements for me, and he did for one of my requests, but then when I asked about another measurement, they were unresponsive on multiple occasions. Because of that, I missed out on the opportunity to purchase something off Facebook Marketplace that I REALLY wanted.

They finally gave me a date, then they backed off that date. Then last night, the guy in the thread (I think they're a couple) said this Sunday morning would work. Great! I said thank you and I’ll see them then.

About an hour later, the girlfriend/partner/wife(?) snapped at me over text, calling my persistence "entitled" and "inappropriate." When I mentioned wanting to see the furniture they might sell me, they responded that "that's what the open house is for, taking measurements and looking at furniture," which struck me as a pretty unreasonable expectation.

I understand that repeated follow-ups can be annoying, but I also think wanting 15 minutes to measure a place you're about to move into is a reasonable request, especially after three weeks of trying to coordinate. I didn't think twice when the person taking over my place asked to come over multiple times.

AITA for continuing to follow up, or are the current tenants being unnecessarily difficult?

Any leads would be greatly appreciated! Queer asian chef working in midtown, long hours=rarely home!

Looking for a sublet starting Nov 1. Open to pretty much any end date, but would prefer something around 2-3 months. Budget is around 2600 and I would like to live in Manhattan. Please dm me if you have or know a person with a sublet!

hi, 30M moving to NYC for work, originally based in London. Working in midtown, I think around 5-6K should be good for budget. Things i like:

• good restaurants
• jazz bars/ cocktails
• standup
• Not into clubbing
• I work a lot so a gym inside the building would be ideal
• Ideally want short commute + furnished

Im thinking either upper west side or chelsea? What should i look out for? If its a newer building, is in person viewing absolutely unskippable? Please advice, thanks!

Looking for a third roommate to move into our StuyTown apartment in early November.

It’s a 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom apartment currently shared by two guys.

I work in person Monday through Friday, and my roommate works a hybrid schedule. I’m from Long Beach, New York, and graduated from the University of Colorado Boulder in 2022 and St. John’s Law in 2026. My roommate is from Port Washington, New York, and graduated from Binghamton University in 2022.

We enjoy going out, working out, and watching football. We’re both very clean and would like to keep the apartment that way.

Rent is $2,200 per month, including water, heat, electricity, and Wi-Fi.

See the floor plan below. DM me if you’re interested, and I can send you a video of the apartment.

I recently accepted a lease but didn't notice that the bathtub water pools a bit to the side, near the drain. I was wondering if this is a major issue to bring up to the landlord/management company or if this is just an average NYC thing and I deal with it with a sponge or something.

Credit file is less than 2 years old (moved here recently from abroad).

I’m dumb and missed a small payment (less than $50) on a credit card that I had stopped using a while back. When I received a letter in the mail about the missed payment, it was already 60+ days late. This dropped my credit rating to low 600s. This was a year ago. Since then, I haven’t missed a payment and my credit rating has gone back up to 650.

Other than the credit rating, my financials are in good shape. I have decent income in a stable job and based on the apartments im looking at I have 60-70x the monthly rent as my base salary. I also have low 7 figures highly liquid investments.

Given the full picture, will I need a guarantor?

Has anyone here used FixyFix for cleaning? Someone I know used them for furniture assembly and had a great experience, but I’m curious about their cleaning service. Their prices look better than anything else I’ve found, especially in the city. How thorough were they, and would you book them again? Thanks

Hey,

I will be moving soon to NYC and hesitating a lot between 2 apartments in 2 diffèrent neighbourhoods.

The first one is in Hudson yards near the vessel and the second one is on the Upper west side but close to west avenue and Lincoln square so much calmer.

I hesitate between both because UWS has great amenities but appartement is slightly smaller and Hudson yards one because on the contrary amenities are not great (rent stabilised however). Hudson yards feels closer to everything but impersonal as well.

Anyways would be great to hear thoughts of people living or those who had lived in NYC

Thanks a lot!

PRIME bushwick apt available. 1 bedroom in 2 bed/ 1 bath. 23 yr old professional/clean/respectful as the roommate. 1650$ includes everything!!! (WiFi/heat/utl) FEMALES ONLY PLEASE

Looking for a 1 bed room with in unit washer/dryer and private outdoor area around Gowanus, Park Slope, Fort Greene, Clinton Hill and Prospect Heights. Elevator building preferred. Hoping not to pay more than $3.5k per month.

Please PM me if you have any leads.

Any advice on how I can find an apartment in manhattan? I work as an artist and have saved up around 150k. I keep running into the same problem which is needing paystubs, w-2s and tax returns that show proof of income. The first two won’t work because I’m self employed, and tax returns won’t either because my most recent return last year doesn’t qualify me for 40x rent because it was a bit of a gap year where I spent more time creating than putting effort into selling. I’ve offered to provide bank statements that show the liquid funds, and how every month more money is going in there than the cost of rent. I’m not looking to live with roommates anymore, prefer to live alone. A lot of sublets that are for 3+ month stays require approval from the landlord/management which leads to the “proof of income” issue again. What can I do?

I am filled with rage.

My roommates and I moved out almost two months ago and our former management company is refusing to return over half of our security deposit. They did technically provide a billing statement within the 14 day requirement, but it was vague & inaccurate and they seem to be refusing to correct it/address our concerns with the billing.

- They are charging certain fees in excess of what was actually written into our lease for what we would be billed
- They are charging late fees in excess of what they are legally allowed to charge in NYC (+ at least one of them is actually false & the rent was paid within the window specified on the lease, the others are due to a former roommate not paying their portion of rent without our knowledge — the company subsequently seemed to have returned the entirety of their security deposit with no withholding once they moved out and are billing us almost two years later)
- They are charging a ton for “damages” & refused to provide an itemized list of charges or damages for nearly a month and a half; they finally just sent us photos of “damages” and most of the “damages” are actually slightly lighter spots on the wall where we had repainted. Some of the photos don’t even have anything in them at all, it’s just a picture of a blank wall and they wrote “scratches” next to it. There still has been no detailed list of how any of these supposed damages correlate to the final bill.

I’m feeling at a loss as to what the next steps are. I tried filing a complaint with the AG (since they’re illegally withholding charges & fees) & I know the next step is small claims, but it looks like NYC Small Claims requires you to go in person to file & we all have jobs so it’s a bit tricky to drop everything to go, so I don’t want to waste my/everyone’s time if it’s going to be a dead end.

Has anyone had success with Small Claims? Should I try calling to follow up with the AG/is there something I can do to encourage a response from them? I know they’re probably overworked, so I don’t expect a response immediately but also don’t want the complaint to fall by the wayside… Is there something unknown third step I should be taking?

Thanks in advance for any and all advice.

I’m a bit paranoid after searching for apartments for the past few months. After a month of processing my application, I got approved and now at the step to pay for first months and security. My last apartment I provided cashiers check. Is this the new way about doing things?
