I applied thru the lottery and had an interview in mid-November 2018 with Settlement Housing Fund which is located at 247 West 37th Street, 19th floor. They are not the best communicators with updates, but I am hopeful.
Hey Congrats!! They will definitely take the appliances out of the box and the doors off the refrigerator if necessary. My refrigerator is 36" wide but its a counter depth, only 24 " deep without the doors. My stove is only 24" wide. I have the stove next to the sink (9" gap in between, am looking for a 9" shelving unit to fit in there) and the refrigerator next to the stove. I put an 11" deep and 5 foot wide butcher block shelf on the opposite wall under the window for work space.
I didn't mount a microwave but I installed a stainless steel shelf above the stove and have a microwave sitting on it.
Be careful when ordering furniture as my sofa bed would not fit in the elevator. They should have given you a paper with the elevator dimensions at your closing, trust it because I had to pay the delivery guys extra $$$ to carry it up the stairs and these champs did, to the 14th Floor!!
Good luck!!
Thanks so much, mrspeel77!
I stopped into PC Richards to check out what they have on display. They don't seem to have a lot of what's top-ranked in Consumer Reports, and the nice sales person there warned me of Penn South's narrow entryways, which are really more like 29" into the apartment. I don't really want to spend that much more than a grand on a fridge, but I do want something that's not really puny. It's just me, but I like to cook. I'm set on getting a 30" w. stove. I'll have to conduct some more research, and soon.
I too wanted to put a butcher block under the window, next to the tall cabinet. Are you balancing it on some kind of console, or did you have something made? I was thinking I could get a couple of stools and have to make a little breakfast nook, or space for food while I prep.
Congrats and welcome. Our fridge The fridge is 21 cu ft/32.8" wide, which is a little too big for the kitchen, but we wanted a lot of fridge space. It barely fit through the front door, and that was with the fridge door removed - definitely measure carefully when you get yours. Our stove is a 30" model and fit through both doorways without any problems. We mounted a hood above the stove but not a microwave.
Can you choose where your stove goes? We're in a 'D' studio (high floor) and really could only put it one place, where the gas hookup is.
Thanks, Incog79! I'm moving in in fits and starts.
Can you tell me about the hood? I don't know much about these things. Is this a fan for when you cook?
I'm terrified that the fridge won't fit through the door, so I may just spend more than I wanted. I had certain requirements I wanted: Energy Star, top freezer, handles on the outside, quiet. Preferably not LG or Samsung (only because I was told if something goes wrong, it's extremely difficult to get a repair person in). But I guess, how often does that happen? Otherwise, supposedly they are great fridges.
I haven't talked to anyone at Penn South about the stove, but I was told at PC Richards that it can be set up anywhere within 4 feet of that gasket thing on the wall. For me, I think I'll have it next to the sink.
well, my "incorrect" charges turned out being legit ones.. It was just not well detailed in the statement.
I agree with @prettyk, it's quiet in here
Keeping the finger crossed for my fellow New Yorkers.
Always important to remain strong and professional. Sometimes they are nice sometimes they are not but whatever they are you be the better, no need to argue just resupply the requested documents and keep it moving. I think it is also a good Idea to email them as well so you have a copy of what you sent in with an automatic time and date stamp it is CYA all the way. Good luck with everything stay chill and stay positive and most of all stay professionsal
