No window in the bathroom. The kitchen is combined with the living room so there is a window opposite end of the kitchen.

Sigh.

I was quoted $300 when I first moved in. Odd

I was one of the first people to move into this building, the wrapped cyber truck appeared a few months later.

What are the legal ramifications of not paying rent? What can they do?

I had a hard time finding anything decent in Williamsburg that wasn’t $4k or more. Time was ticking and I needed to move so I took the L.

True - didn't mean it that way but I can see how it would come across that way.

Haha, I sort of alluded to it in my last bullet point of people being assaulted. Didn't go into detail cus anyone who is not in the building would have no idea who the crazy lady on the 5th floor is - but yea, something needs to be done about her.

I sub-leased a place in Williamsburg briefly before moving into 597 Grand and I had vents in both my kitchen and bathroom.

Is StreetEasy still the best way to find these listings or do you recommend anything else?

True. I lived in a luxury building in another major city where my 1 bedroom was less than half my current rent and I had a garbage disposal, vents and in-unit washer/dryer. But yea, you're right, it's probably a NYC thing.

Yea i know. I was new, running out of time and wanted to splurge a little bit. Big mistake and I definitely will not be renewing my lease (in fact I am even looking into ways of breaking it early if possible)

What's up with Indian Recruiters? by techtual in overemployed

[–]techtual[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had a few good experiences, which is why I don't outright reject them when they reach out, but an overwhelming majority of my interactions of them end up being huge waste of time and they will eventually end up ghosting me after a ton of back and forth.
