What to do about neighbor's dog
I live in an apartment building with open stairs so sounds from the lobby can easily be heard on the 6th floor because of the echoes. There’s this dog on the third floor that barks from 9am-6pm straight every single weekday when the owners are working. It’s been going on for months. These people aren’t even allowed to have pets on their lease. I’ve contacted the landlord who says he can’t do much, even after mentioning that they’re not allowed to have pets. Ive been sending him videos for two weeks straight through email to which he never replies to. I have also contacted 311 and 911, nothing happened. Has anyone been through anything similar and knows what to do?

This sub needs guidelines for posting apartments.
I'm not sure I have the answer but maybe in the titles of the post can haven't all relevant information.
#Neighborhood or Borough [rent price] (broker fee or not) - Snazzy Title.
Then set an auto mod to take down post that don't abide by this or what ever system gets out in place I love this sub, but it needs some structure.
If I need to put in work as a mod to help out I'm down.

Incredibly loud refrigeration unit- is this legal?
I live in Brooklyn. The neighboring apartment complex’s refrigeration units have begun making this awful noise. It’s so loud I can hear it from two rooms over, in the hallway of my building. Is this legal? Who do contact if it’s not? Help!

Sketchy Listing
Would it be a red flag if a broker has had an apartment listed on StreetEasy for over 22 days in Harlem and, when I contacted him, he only asked about my income and didn’t inquire about my credit? Should I be concerned?

Apartments for students or J1 interns?
Hello!
I am from Argentina and I work in multimedia design (video editing) for real estate. I will be doing an internship in NYC for 12 months, working in Midtown, and my budget is a bit tight. I would like to know which areas or places I can rent to share an apartment with students or interns, as I think it’s a great idea to meet people and an enriching experience to share ideas and make friends.
What do you recommend? Thank you!

Advice
I’m in a unique situation where, during the pandemic, I had a roommate who lost their job and couldn’t pay rent, which led us to move. As a result, there’s now a rent debt collection on my credit, which won’t drop off for another three years. Brokers have advised that I’ll likely need a guarantor because of this. However, I’m concerned that corporate guarantors may not work with applicants who have rent arrears. Do you have any suggestions on how I should approach this situation?

Rent Stabilized Apartment Lease Question
Hi all,
I've been approved for a new apt advertised as rent stabilized at $1,695 per month. But in the language of the actual lease it says "this apartment is not subject to rent regulation" right at the top, and on the last page under the heading "this apartment is not subject to rent stabilization."
I emailed the agent and asked for reassurance in writing that the unit is in fact rent stabilized and he told me the fact that the lease is an RSA lease (Rent Stabilization Association) and that the legal rent is listed as $1695 is proof enough that it is rent stabilized.
Am I missing something here? The info provided seems contradictory...Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Concerned about my apt
So I have sent a text to my landlord at the beginning (october) of the month requesting a lease extension for another year, and I didn't get no response. Should I just keep paying month to month starting tomorrow or should I be worried.

DO NOT RENT FROM SETTLELIVING
the owner of the company has multiple people saying that they were threatened by the owner. The company fails to provide hot water for the tenants. They haven’t gave back multiple people their security deposit back. When people ask for their security deposit they then block them. If you write a bad review about them they send people from the company to knock on your door to harass you. DO NOT RENT FROM SETTLE LIVING

ISO 1 Bed Lease Takeover in Williamsburg/Greenpoint
Flexible on start date. Budget is $4600. Thanks!

How realistic to apply for a 3k/month apt with income $97k?
Obviously I know this does not meet the 40x requirement and would require a guarantor with 80x amount in the application process.
I have had friends and co-workers talk about they’ve managed to survive and afford an apartment that asks for a paycheck and half of their monthly income.
But how? Is it really feasible (if parents / guardians aren’t involved in helping out) Are you having to dip into your savings a little month after month?
Just looking for different perspectives and appreciate the answers!

Looking for a 1 bed under $1800
I’m trying to find anything in a building (I’ve had terrible experiences with private home rentals) in Upper Manhattan past 145th St, The Bronx, even lower Westchester as long as it’s by MNR.
I’m willing to break lease at my current space due to the lack of proper maintenance in the building.
It’s for a single person making $42k yearly with excellent credit and can provide a guarantor.
I need advice of where I really should be looking because Street Easy hasn’t been fruitful.

4000 or less 2 bdrm?
Am I delusional for trying to find a 2 bedroom apartment in New York for 4000 or less? For context, moving jobs in my mid 20s and have a roommate. I’m coming from SF (another expensive city) so I understand the apartment struggle. But is it not possible to find something 3500-4000? If it is, any recommendations on where to look? I see options but don’t know the neighborhoods well.
Just don’t want to overspend on rent and not be able to live life.

Looking for one room mate
Hi! I’m looking for a room mate to join me in finding a place for December 1st. My max budget is 1,500 so total rent would be 3k between us two . I’m ideally trying to find a place in Williamsburg, LES, UWS/UES.
About myself: I’m currently working remote and looking to move back to the city because I’ve found job opportunities that pay more. I’m most likely going to be working from home until further notice from hiring managers. Then will most likely be going in office more.
On my free time I like to go to the gym, play video games, or lay in bed a lot of the time. On weekends I’ll make an effort to go out and have fun but that’ll be like once or twice a month. I like to keep shared spaces as clean as possible and expect whoever I room with to also want to be clean and respectful. I keep to myself majority of the time but always down for an adventure. Also 4/20 friendly
