[NYDANIEL]

so in other words, the 45 application below Jerryg2007 either did not complete their application or sent in the $200 fee? Thanks for the clarification Wanting_to_move. now I have a little hope. I thought I would check into the cemetery before I can check into Masaryk Tower. lol.... Once again. your clarification is greatly appreciated.

thanks for all comments i've read so far on this blog. I'm number 13 on one-bedroom list and recently got a call from office. I'm quite excited, nervous and scared as I don't know what to expect. I'm familiar with area and know some of the issues related to environment. I nervous as to the state of the apartment. Is it big/small. Will I have to redo everything? How much is monthly maintenance fee, despite cheap rent; will it equal out my current rent which is 1300 for one-bedroom. I'm sorry i jut discovered this blog.

I meant what you wrote: that although I am #110 on original list, they told me that there are about 65 people ahead of me. They were calling for #12 at that time when I have called. They are not up to #45 on the One Bedroom wait list.
It's better that anyone who is on the wait list call them for more detail updates as to where you stand on the list.

Jerryg2007, How do you know exactly that there are about 65 people ahead of you? so approximately with this rate, 12 apartments per year, you'll be able to move in around 5 to 6 years time frame. or earlier, let hope.

a BIG congratulation to you. very exciting to you and your family. from my understanding the one bedroom should not be more than $800 per month. keep us posted on your progress.

JerryG2007, now there are only 64 people ahead of you.

Congratulation to all!

Congrats! Exciting, isn't it? Is #13 your original log number, or was it your place on the current list (as posted in their office)?


I think whether you need to do redo things depends on the previous tenant(s) and the work they did. Maintenance=rent, which should be in the $800s, it varies a bit from apartment to apartment. That is what you will pay monthly total (besides the initial equity payment of around $8,000).

Congrats! You do not need to do every thing you will get a working Kitchen. You will need to supply your own fridge and stove. Now the real is can you live with really old cabinet (in my case the tenant was there over 40 years. ) You may get better cabinets the bathroom mind is working fine it just looks outdated. You can not be at the price. I can't stress that enough. Overall is an amazing investment even through there are things that need to be addressed.

Hope that was helpful and sorry you find us earlier.

My mother in law lives in Masaryk Towers. I've never been there but I'm going later this week. She's a New Yorker through and through. However it never ceases to amaze me how New Yorkers keep taking it up the culito with these housing prices but are quick to proclaim how great their city is. I used to hear them all the time when I lived in Atlanta. Why move then? Seems to me all the rich and greedy are pushing the poor and middle class right off that island. They'll be in Newark within 10 years.

BDuby,

I would say a REAL New Yorker wouldn't move out. But that's just me.

Hi Daniel,

Just to clarify - the numbers DID Not go from 120 to 1650 - My number back then was 120 in October and my number was actually 1150ish.

I was on the waiting list since 2010 my wait was about 6 years.

We have no idea how many apartments of each kind there are. I can tell you that there are far more 2 bedrooms then 3 bedrooms. not sure on the studio and 1 Bedroom. There are 11 apartment on my floor and there are 21 floors. in my building.

Good Luck on your wait.
