I love the kitchen exhaust hood duct above the cabinets.
The bathroom door blocks the toilet. lol
This place should be for anyone making under $50,000.
If your making $181,000 why live there
I suspect you will have to lift the seat to have clearance to shut the door. Also, the vanity is so close to the tub that you could never have an inner and outer shower curtain.
I live in a place where the half bath has an unfortunate ventilation duct right in front of the toilet. One has to sit sidesaddle.
PTAC, vinyl floor, slide in clunky oven, small kitchen cabinets, janky exhaust. This should be like a $1500 or less/month apartment. PTAC should not be in any apartment. But I think there are permiitting issues with splits, but there are cheaper apartments on housing connect with splits.
“Designed by Node Architecture”
Designed?!
The only thing saving this is lack of parking, that would have made this building explicitly ugly
Setting aside the interior design choices and the PTACs, this development is a perfect of example of the flawed FAR limitations built into the NYC building code. This 4 story building is a replacing a former single family house wedged in between two ~6 story pre-war buildings. But do to the FAR still attached to the narrower former SFH lot, the new building is limited to 4 floors. There is no reason this lot could not and should not have a building of equal height to it’s older neighbors. Not only does is look goofy for lack of a better word, but in a city with a severe housing shortage it is unnecessarily forfeiting additional units. The best you could say about this specific build is at least it wasn’t set back even further and meets one of the two neighbors at the lot line.
Why do they keep building where you can’t go out at night ?
