Granted taxes in New York are high but asking $8,900 for this substandard apartment just leads me to believe that the landlord is greedy. Just my opinion!
i hope no one rents this and the landlord or property manager learns their lesson smh. what a horrible layout for an insane amount of money, even by NYC standards.
Also the fact that there's a door leading to the basement of the building which is accessible through one of the bedrooms is strange. That feels unsecure to me. What prevents some creep from entering your bedroom through the building basement? Feels like some illegal sectioning of rooms or spaces was done.
@@sandyrose2398 that is a matter of public record, but it is very likely that it is an LLC within an LLC within another LLC. If you had an address, you could search ACRIS to find the owner.
In addition to my comments about the dangerously-illegal bedrooms in the subterranean dungeon, I echo the sentiments about the proximity of the toilet to the kitchen nook. Relying on someone opening the bathroom window to try to remove the potential stench - not to mention the sound effects of the elimination process - while a housemate is attempting to make supper is just unreal. To answer Cash's question, no I would not live there at any price.
What an over priced chop job! Illegal “bedrooms” and the most gawd awful kitchen! If there was a fire, the folks sleeping in those cells would have no way out! How do those slumlords get away with that?
By the way this nearly $ 9,OOO.OO apartment IS ILLEGAL to have bedrooms in a basement in the event of a flood especially that sealed bedroom window. Apartments with illegal bedrooms in basements in New York City in especially flood areas are deemed illegal. Remember the Sandy storm in NYC it killed 5O people stuck in basements. This apartment needs to be reported to the buildings department HPD. This greedy bastard landlord then has the audacity to ask for a death trap nearly $ 9,OOO.OO not caring for their tenants only for their money.
The legally-required egress for the "bedrooms" is questionable because the shaft is glassed over. The upstairs layout is cramped and awkward. Would I pay $8,900 for this? No. Would I pay $4,900 for this? No. Except for laundry in the unit, this apartment has very few virtues.
@@courtenayskipsey4977 In New York, the concern is not only fires, but also FLOODING! Recently, a lot of people drowned when they were trapped in illegal basement apartments that flooded and the tenants were unable to escape.
Wow that kitchen bathroom situation is awful. That squeeze would get very annoying very quickly. At the very least they should have used light colors so you don't feel like you're cooking in a cave. The only compliment is they included all the appliances, but for almost 9 grand a month it doesn't fly!

The private outside space is nice; just watch out for rats and flooding when it rains; I didn't notice a drain outside. I've come to the conclusion that people rent places like this because of the neighborhood and not the living spaces. Way overpriced!

Nobody lives there because the rent is ridiculous.

$8900!?! Severely overpriced. That kitchen could barely fit me in it.Imagine the heat in that kitchen if you had the burners and oven on at the same time. The bedrooms are okay but that basement setup is creepy. Also, for as much as they did to make the apartment you would think they would have sealed the door to the buildings basement. No one is going to use that as a bedroom with risk someone can break in.
This is not a townhouse - it’s a tenement apartment duplexed into the cellar with no legal bedrooms. Highly dubious at any price! Also that large structure in the Hudson River isn’t for water filtration, it’s part of the ventilation for the Holland Tunnel
I thought it looked familiar. From that tunnel movie a bunch of years ago. Stallone in it I think. The one with the explosion and trapped people in the tunnel. Daylight, I think it's called. I have been to NYC once lol, and not there. But movies make things recognizable!

Not a townhouse, it's a cold water walkup tenement bldg. Built in the 1870s-1890s for poor immigrants coming through Ellis island.

Originally those were intended to hold wine in specific temperatures to keep them stored in perfect conditions, but apparently that one doesn't have the rack for the actual bottles...

Not ONE Bathtub 🛁 is in the Two bathroom home.The bathroom toilet 🚽 is just inches from where one would prep & cook food🍽 (the combination of odors would be highly gross & off putting), the "glass hostage container" is crazily constucted without a way out in case of a fire 🔥or flood🌊 emergency and in my opinion, it's cheaper to live in a less expensive area with more room, less cramping AND at least a tub. Not everyone just only takes showers 🚿. Good video CJ. Thank you.
The "kitchen" is ridiculous! And the bathroom right there? Nothing like people doing their business 2 feet from the microscopic kitchen! Lastly, at "$8,995", just call it $9000.

@@maddscientist3170 It's not the New Yorkers' fault, but New York itself. A Manhattan apartment is such a status symbol around the world that millionaires everywhere feel the need to buy one, even if they use it less than a month per year, and it has completely separated the prices from reality. New York desperately needs a law that prevents people from owning apartments unless they use it for six month per year, minimum.
I'm over in Oregon and all I can think is, OKAY! That could work ☺️ - just to be in your incomparable city with all those museums and neighborhoods and sounds and cultures. I💚NY !!!✌🏼
This is definitely an apartment for roommates probably in their 20s or 30s that want to live in the village and this is the only way they can afford to live in the village. The kitchen is so incredibly small. Four or more people would not be able to share it unless they ate take out most of the time.
That was a good idea, turning the basement skylight area into like a comfy reading nook or something! Hell no to that last room that has a door into the creepy basement hallway.
With prices like that I am feeling like a dinosaur because when I was a kid rent for a 2 bedroom apartment was $250-$400 (depending on the neighborhood). The thought of spending more than $1,500 a month to have an apt to one's self is complete insanity to me.
Oh dear, another no-no! Kitchen space is far too tight and having a bathroom off it (yeuch) is illegal in the UK. Basement rooms may be a good size but have no natural ventilation or proper windows in most of them and no escape in the event of a fire - again illegal in the UK. West Village or not I would not pay almost $9k to rent this place. Landlords are far to greedy!
It's illegal in NYC too. You have to be able to get out of the window in case of fire. I doubt that is a legal basement apartment. I don't know if Cash is just ignorant of NYC laws (which for a licensed agent is suspect) or just doesn't care but this is not the first time he has shown us an apartment with illegal bedrooms.
@@MR-hu3ht having watched a dozen or so of his vids... I'm pretty sure the real estate agent part is a cover LOL he's using RUclips to subtley show off these slumlord chop-jobs.... at least I'd like to think that!!!
Hey Josh. What I like most about your videos is you don't pull any punches. Great detail. You show locations. Stores. Dining areas. And if the commercial property stinks, like a coffee house or donut shop, or even Taco bell, you lay' em out flat. lol And the music. Very kool.. Upbeat. And the family. Your daughter is growing so fast. Pretty soon you have to get out the shot gun. To keep the boys away. lol Love the channel. Keep up the good work. Please stay safe and healthy. You and your family.
That rent is the only creepy thing so far 😂 Wait, no, it's the bathroom in the kitchen; I get it, space is tight, but having a bathroom practically in your kitchen sounds gross 🤢 You'll be doing calisthenics or yoga just putting your food in the fridge!
I would rather not have a dishwasher in the kitchen than have a cramped kitchen with buildings trying to shove every appliance that exists into a small space
This would be a great apartment for cellar dwellers. 😳 There is no way I could ever live there. I was getting depressed just looking at the video. I love how you can tell by Cash’s face what he’s really thinking as he tries to make lemonade out of lemons. 😆
I've concluded that the primary tenants for these old beat up apts are the restaurant owners who charge $16 for imitation ground beef burgers and $6 watered down coffee.
Awesome! your potential seems limitless. I'm fascinated with investing but being a single mother and juggling all these things are quite difficult. How best can I start and what sector to engage in?

Don’t wait until the market skyrocket again then you start biting your fingers wishing you made the decision to invest. bought my third house already, earn on a monthly through passive income and got 4 out of 5 goals, just hope it encourages someone that it doesn’t matter if you don’t have any of them right now, you can start TODAY regardless your age INVEST and change your future! Investing in the financial market is a grand choice I made.
Am not good doing it alone but getting into the market has been my best decision so far in my road to financial independence as it turns out to be lucrative for me and Personally I have multiple streams so I just enable the use of an investment advisor to navigate and secure the returns.
Woah, Though this is the first time i would be reading comments about my financial advisor Ms. Melisa on RUclips comments and it is quite a memorable insight
Cash, the building you saw on the water at 2:43 is the ventilation for the holland tunnel. Theres two of those weird looking buildings, one on the pier by the west village and another right by jersey.
LMAO 🤣 That odd outdoor underground box with a glass window gave me stand up tub vibes if you closed it off and tiled it of course. Oh and nixed the freedom window. It could also be a mini greenhouse but once again I’m dyin on the inside with your “where you could store your hostages” comment. Literally still laughing in bed. I can’t 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
How do you get out of those bedrooms in case of fire? Supposedly, through windows, but there is that door to the basement area if it has access to outside. That patio window looks like a roof window that may open.
This is my first time watching and find your style neat. Good luck and keep posting your enjoyable to watch. I hope you do artist’s lofts or galleries also.
I wouldn't live anywhere near or in NYC to begin with, everyone there is worth less than a rusty penny and the entire city has gone mad. They won't even fix their crime, homelessness or taxation problem.
It would be a good idea to research the history of the building. Is that the building that was the set for the movie "Rosemary's Baby"? If so I would not live there either.
@@theoriginalbridgetconnors So the place where John Lennon was mercilessly shot in the back was the setting for the scariest film ever made! That figures.
2:45 This is like the third video where he asking what that structure is despite being told twice before what it is but I get it, hes staying in character whose every day is their first day in New York and doesn't know anything sbthey are surprised by it. 🤣 3:48 $8995 a month? 🤣🤣🤣 5:36 Ive installed those for people so many times but never understood why. Once installed at the standard 18" from countertop its eye level to the average height person so they cant see inside unless 6' or taller so it becomes useless to most. 5:58 Thats a no. A big no. Not even for $2000 a month i will live with my bathroom in the kitchen. Its disgusting. Im lost on this one. So, the entire townhouse only have 2 windows that open and they are upstairs? The bottom ones in the bedrooms look like they are sealed shut and I saw no central air system for airflow or ventilation. Good luck to whoever wants to live in such sad conditions at that price.
Yes I was wondering if the ground skylight window actually opens in case there's a fire or some emergency where people need to escape that bedroom put can't use the bedroom door
Whoever designed this building was good with math because they maximized every inch of the building I'm claustrophobic I couldn't live there 😆 love your videos keep up the good work 😃🙂😁💯💯💯💯 Detroit Michigan 😊 love 💕 it
Cash ... First, the building out in the middle of the water is part of the ventilation system for the Holland Tunnel. Next, couldn't they have reversed the positions of the shower and the toilet and put the door to the bathroom OUTSIDE of the kitchen? Next, you call that a "townhouse?" Looks to me like it was built 100 years ago to be a tenement. Next, to be legal a bedroom has to have a window. But if the "window" is a hole in the wall that used to be the cellar stairs, is that a legal bedroom? How do you open the window if you have to get out in case of fire? I hope the NYC Department of Buildings watches this video. And last, of course, $9K a month for THIS? You gotta be kidding.
Hey Cash, the building you referred to as a water filtration tower at the beginning, is actually the Holland Tunnel air ventilation system. Fresh air is brought in to the tunnels and stale air is filtered out 👍 Fun fact 😊
Great videos. I started watching them and I like your enthusiasm and knowledge. The funny thing is that I immigrated from America and have not lived in the country for 10 years. In previous years, we did like visiting NYC (but not to live).
That basement window doesn’t open? Then is it even a legal bedroom if there isn’t egress? Also, that egress-minus-exit window would be perfect for someone who wanted to have houseplants

Being a New Yorker...I'm still shocked at what is happening for us renters!
People keep renting!....It's the people in NYC that are doing this to themselves
I’m shocked for you! 🤦🏽♀️

@@maddscientist3170 It's not the New Yorkers' fault, but New York itself. A Manhattan apartment is such a status symbol around the world that millionaires everywhere feel the need to buy one, even if they use it less than a month per year, and it has completely separated the prices from reality. New York desperately needs a law that prevents people from owning apartments unless they use it for six month per year, minimum.
I'm over in Oregon and all I can think is, OKAY! That could work ☺️ - just to be in your incomparable city with all those museums and neighborhoods and sounds and cultures. I💚NY !!!✌🏼
That stove setup next to the wall is something you do when you HATE your future occupants.
This is definitely an apartment for roommates probably in their 20s or 30s that want to live in the village and this is the only way they can afford to live in the village. The kitchen is so incredibly small. Four or more people would not be able to share it unless they ate take out most of the time.
Great video !! This townhouse gave me anxiety tho ..
That building in the middle of the water is an air circulation tower and emergency exit for the Holland tunnel.
That was a good idea, turning the basement skylight area into like a comfy reading nook or something! Hell no to that last room that has a door into the creepy basement hallway.
That's the only thing I liked about this apartment. Put a small cushion there and some tiny potted plants around the ledge of the skylight/window.
@@femmebrulee5053 yah like for growing pot
🤣
Who wants to live in that room with an exit door to the building scary basement, hear some sounds from outside when you're sleeping? 🤣
With prices like that I am feeling like a dinosaur because when I was a kid rent for a 2 bedroom apartment was $250-$400 (depending on the neighborhood). The thought of spending more than $1,500 a month to have an apt to one's self is complete insanity to me.
My first apartment in Lower East Side, Manhattan was a four room railway for $180 a month - different time, different city.
9000!!? per month? New Yorkers are crazy! For that kind of money you can finance a 1.5 million 6000+ squareffet mansion + a few acres land.
The rooms with the skylight, cannot legally be sold as a bedroom. Just a skylight is not proper egress.
So true! But we see these dangerous and illegal on this channel regularly.
@@Gizathecat2 He only reading what the listing says.
I'm too afraid I would drown. Most definitely would want something above street level. But great video Cash.
Oh dear, another no-no! Kitchen space is far too tight and having a bathroom off it (yeuch) is illegal in the UK. Basement rooms may be a good size but have no natural ventilation or proper windows in most of them and no escape in the event of a fire - again illegal in the UK. West Village or not I would not pay almost $9k to rent this place. Landlords are far to greedy!
It's illegal in NYC too. You have to be able to get out of the window in case of fire. I doubt that is a legal basement apartment. I don't know if Cash is just ignorant of NYC laws (which for a licensed agent is suspect) or just doesn't care but this is not the first time he has shown us an apartment with illegal bedrooms.
@@MR-hu3ht He can call them what he likes. It's a video for entertainment. You don't have to use them for that.
@@MR-hu3ht having watched a dozen or so of his vids... I'm pretty sure the real estate agent part is a cover LOL he's using RUclips to subtley show off these slumlord chop-jobs.... at least I'd like to think that!!!
Hey Josh. What I like most about your videos is you don't pull any punches. Great detail. You show locations. Stores. Dining areas. And if the commercial property stinks, like a coffee house or donut shop, or even Taco bell, you lay' em out flat. lol And the music. Very kool.. Upbeat. And the family. Your daughter is growing so fast. Pretty soon you have to get out the shot gun. To keep the boys away. lol Love the channel. Keep up the good work. Please stay safe and healthy. You and your family.
That rent is the only creepy thing so far 😂
Wait, no, it's the bathroom in the kitchen; I get it, space is tight, but having a bathroom practically in your kitchen sounds gross 🤢
You'll be doing calisthenics or yoga just putting your food in the fridge!
Thanks for this, I just laughed out loud. You captured what I was thinking perfectly.
"Sorry, you can't use the bathroom. My roommate is emptying the dishwasher."
💜 always love the surrounding tours as much as the places nooks and crannies views.savy Very savy 🌀
For that price, you can definitely get a better place. Shop smart people.
I would rather not have a dishwasher in the kitchen than have a cramped kitchen with buildings trying to shove every appliance that exists into a small space
Was it last winter when NY flooded? I remember seeing news videos of a lot of basement apartments flooded... am I mistaken?
NYC is big. A more pertinent question here would be, "Has the West Village flooded?"
No. You're right. A few people renting basement apartments like those died because they could escape
I was ROGL through this whole vid. Straight faced you were showing an apartment with adjoining torture dungeon. 😆
The cook risks getting a concussion from whoever comes out of that bathroom 😂
😂😂😂😂💀
Hi how are you doing?
This would be a great apartment for cellar dwellers. 😳 There is no way I could ever live there. I was getting depressed just looking at the video. I love how you can tell by Cash’s face what he’s really thinking as he tries to make lemonade out of lemons. 😆
I just love waking up and seeing your videos!
Don't fart in the kitchen you will blow the walls out.
😂😂😂
It's too expensive for how cramped it is. Plus that space you crawled in with that sunroof thing.... seems like someone could break in.
Another dealbreaker - a cramped bathroom right next to the kitchen. How about NO!
I've concluded that the primary tenants for these old beat up apts are the restaurant owners who charge $16 for imitation ground beef burgers and $6 watered down coffee.
This will probably be rented to 4 NYU students.
Cash, go back when it's dark and test that outdoor light again. Bet you change your mind!
Awesome! your potential seems limitless. I'm fascinated with investing but being a single mother and juggling all these things are quite difficult. How best can I start and what sector to engage in?
@Bryan wow! do you think you can give me some advice on how to invest in a healthy way as you are doing? please
@Bryan Thanks for sharing, just looked up
on google and I'm super impressed with her credentials. I dropped a massage on her webpage and hope she replies soon
Don’t wait until the market skyrocket again then you start biting your fingers wishing you made the decision to invest. bought my third house already, earn on a monthly through passive income and got 4 out of 5 goals, just hope it encourages someone that it doesn’t matter if you don’t have any of them right now, you can start TODAY regardless your age INVEST and change your future! Investing in the financial market is a grand choice I made.
Am not good doing it alone but getting into the market has been my best decision so far in my road to financial independence as it turns out to be lucrative for me and Personally I have multiple streams so I just enable the use of an investment advisor to navigate and secure the returns.
Woah, Though this is the first time i would be reading comments about my financial advisor Ms. Melisa on RUclips comments and it is quite a memorable insight
Yay! Early! Looks like a good one. I love the creepy ones!
I’m scared. That basement is sooo claustrophobic and $9000 ? Forget about it.
Cash, the building you saw on the water at 2:43 is the ventilation for the holland tunnel. Theres two of those weird looking buildings, one on the pier by the west village and another right by jersey.
✅✅ᴅᴍ ʟᴇᴛ'ꜱ ᴛᴀʟᴋ ☝️📥📥
You do great entertaining videos and neighborhood tours. Your energy is amazing!
That price is definitely going to come down or a couple months off. I wonder what price it was 2 years ago.
2:44 I think it's a ventilation plant for the Holland Tunnel.
LMAO 🤣 That odd outdoor underground box with a glass window gave me stand up tub vibes if you closed it off and tiled it of course. Oh and nixed the freedom window. It could also be a mini greenhouse but once again I’m dyin on the inside with your “where you could store your hostages” comment. Literally still laughing in bed. I can’t 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Whenever I need a reason to rejoice in where I currently live, I watch videos like this and it gladdens my heart I don't live in NYC.
In NJ to rent a house cost anywhere from 1,500 to 3,000 depending on the area. That bathroom off the kitchen should have a pocket door.
How to create an apartment from a basement, a kitchen from a hallway, and major profit from subterranean living.
How do you get out of those bedrooms in case of fire? Supposedly, through windows, but there is that door to the basement area if it has access to outside. That patio window looks like a roof window that may open.
This is my first time watching and find your style neat. Good luck and keep posting your enjoyable to watch. I hope you do artist’s lofts or galleries also.
Hi Cash, that thing in the middle of the water is ventilation for the holland tunnel, which is directly under that pier.
I wouldn't live anywhere near or in NYC to begin with, everyone there is worth less than a rusty penny and the entire city has gone mad. They won't even fix their crime, homelessness or taxation problem.
It would be a good idea to research the history of the building. Is that the building that was the set for the movie "Rosemary's Baby"? If so I would not live there either.
That was the scariest movie ever.
@@jacksonmorganfroghin4815 Do some research on the movie. To see if it really was based on real life happenings.
The building used in Rosemary's Baby was The Dakota. So, not this building.
@@theoriginalbridgetconnors So the place where John Lennon was mercilessly shot in the back was the setting for the scariest film ever made! That figures.
@@jacksonmorganfroghin4815 You mean the place where the scariest film ever made is where John Lennon was shot in the back.
Basement rooms/apartments are a no no for me because of how subject they are to flooding.
You’re videos are the best!
2:45 This is like the third video where he asking what that structure is despite being told twice before what it is but I get it, hes staying in character whose every day is their first day in New York and doesn't know anything sbthey are surprised by it. 🤣
3:48 $8995 a month? 🤣🤣🤣
5:36 Ive installed those for people so many times but never understood why. Once installed at the standard 18" from countertop its eye level to the average height person so they cant see inside unless 6' or taller so it becomes useless to most.
5:58 Thats a no. A big no. Not even for $2000 a month i will live with my bathroom in the kitchen. Its disgusting.
Im lost on this one. So, the entire townhouse only have 2 windows that open and they are upstairs? The bottom ones in the bedrooms look like they are sealed shut and I saw no central air system for airflow or ventilation.
Good luck to whoever wants to live in such sad conditions at that price.
Yes I was wondering if the ground skylight window actually opens in case there's a fire or some emergency where people need to escape that bedroom put can't use the bedroom door
Whoever designed this building was good with math because they maximized every inch of the building I'm claustrophobic I couldn't live there 😆 love your videos keep up the good work 😃🙂😁💯💯💯💯 Detroit Michigan 😊 love 💕 it
No no no no no no, not even for what I pay for my house a month in South Jersey - nope - but always an upside to watch your vids Cash!
that building is the ventilation system for the holland tunnel. i think they need air down there….i suppose.
✅✅ᴅᴍ ʟᴇᴛ'ꜱ ᴛᴀʟᴋ ☝️📥📥
Cash ... First, the building out in the middle of the water is part of the ventilation system for the Holland Tunnel.
Next, couldn't they have reversed the positions of the shower and the toilet and put the door to the bathroom OUTSIDE of the kitchen?
Next, you call that a "townhouse?" Looks to me like it was built 100 years ago to be a tenement.
Next, to be legal a bedroom has to have a window. But if the "window" is a hole in the wall that used to be the cellar stairs, is that a legal bedroom? How do you open the window if you have to get out in case of fire? I hope the NYC Department of Buildings watches this video.
And last, of course, $9K a month for THIS? You gotta be kidding.
That kitchen is NUTS!
Hey Cash, the building you referred to as a water filtration tower at the beginning, is actually the Holland Tunnel air ventilation system. Fresh air is brought in to the tunnels and stale air is filtered out 👍 Fun fact 😊
✅✅ᴅᴍ ʟᴇᴛ'ꜱ ᴛᴀʟᴋ ☝️📥📥
9 grand a month to live like you're on the ISS. hmmm...
That building on the west side by the water is the ventilation system for the Holland tunnel! If you ever seen the movie Daylight you would know this
This apartment tour gave me anxiety.😐
I’d pitch a tent on the deck and sleep there rather than one of those creepy subterranean bedrooms.
Basement apartment in the West Village? A hard pass on that, I would be afraid the apartment would flood.
EXACTLY why i would never live in NYC. insane that people pay that sort of rent for tombs like that.
Hey Cash...that brown building is a vent for the Holland Tunnel......
8k and you barely have a living room 😭
My kitchen is bigger than that living room
Nice appliances and fixtures!!! 👍🏻
Great videos. I started watching them and I like your enthusiasm and knowledge. The funny thing is that I immigrated from America and have not lived in the country for 10 years. In previous years, we did like visiting NYC (but not to live).
Tuned in ☕️
Looks like a walk up but I’ll remain to confirm
This is 4 Sure Gonna B so Good CJ🔥🔥🔥👍….
You need at least 5 roommates to afford the place…damn NYC is ridiculously expensive!
That basement window doesn’t open? Then is it even a legal bedroom if there isn’t egress?
Also, that egress-minus-exit window would be perfect for someone who wanted to have houseplants
