- Living here is like walking into a closet, but this this Tiny Apartment is in a great part of New York City and it has a Very VERY low price. Rent is out of control in New York City, but this apartment is 60% cheaper than anything else on the market in NYC… but would it be enough for you to rent it and move in?

That's a one-bedroom for $2800. The window bars are a death trap in a fire. The basement is a party space for rodents and a flood risk. Some out-of-towner will rent it. New Yorkers know better.
Tenant: "The basement you showed me...the door is now locked".
Landlord: "No, no...basement not included. I rent basement to my nephew for $1000. By the way, he will need to use shower twice a week".
apartment has its own dungeon
That's right, your apt comes with a ''bonus dungeon", formerly the home of Hannibal Lecter.
Not necessarily. Dungeons have different uses.
That is NOT a legal 2 bedroom apartment. You can't call the basement a bedroom because it has no windows. Even tho there is a door there's still no real egress that I could see. & the bars on the windows I don't think meet fire code since they're bolted into the wall. Yes the kitchen isn't terrible (even tho there's no sink sprayer) & actually has more cabinets & counter space than some of the higher priced places we've seen. Still I'd give it a pass
Can you legally say the upstairs rooms are bedrooms and the basement is the living room?
@@653j521 the way in understanding the requirements I think the answer is no since it is becoming a habitable space of used as a living room or family room. It will still need a window (which is impossible since it's completely underground) or another way out. Even tho there's a door that leads into a hallway it doesn't look like there's any way out of the building
I like seeing all of the shops and restaurants in these videos. Along with the culture. It’s definitely a big decision factor on where you want to live and feel safe while enjoying the area.
Wouldn't be surprised if that was an illegal basement apartment, but the city or someone had them convert it back to part of the apartment upstairs. It has a lock that prevents people from upstairs to go down. Weird.
Creepy.
I think someone decided to go together and have a separate apt, and used that door downstairs to go in and out. So, they kept that upstairs door locked. Not sure what they would do for a shower though, unless they just used one at the gym when they went to work out. All kinds of possibilities. You can always eat out when you are saving a lot of money, which they probably were. I'd do it.
The landlord knew what he or she was doing. Since there are no doors for a second bedroom, it should not be listed as a 2 bedroom. They are getting away with using the basement as part of the apartment because there are 2 ways to enter and exit- even though there are no egress windows. That is also why there is only a toilet and a sink. If there was a shower or a kitchen sink or a stove, the basement would not pass inspection. My landlord has the same set up in one of his rental homes. The bedrooms are on the main floor and there is a space in the basement with a toilet and sink that is the "living room". It's also because this was part of the home for more than 40 years. Inspectors have been in that apartment and he has not been fined. I do not know the current rules. I believe they may have changed.
I had a basement apartment and I had a deadbolt lock on it the same way because when they would go out somewhere day or night they would forget to lock their door, and if someone would ever break in upstairs I didn't want them to have access to coming downstairs where I lived. Another issue was if friends with little kids would stop over to visit upstairs, the little kids would open the doors and come downstairs. It much better to just put a lock on the inside of the door, then there are no hassles
This apartment complex looks like a movie set for "Trapped by a Psycho with no Escape!" 😂
That could be one horrifying rom-com. Like Murder by Death. I'd go see it.
The only exit from the basement is that door to more basement. It would be incredibly dangerous to sleep down there. If there was a fire, or flood, you would be trapped.
Wow right next to a Funeral home
That downstairs used to be a hangout spot…a club 😉
The reason it is so cheap is that the chalk outline of the former resident is probably still visible.
A ground level apartment in a sketchy neighborhood.
Exactly right you are!! I live right next to Astoria park and I know the area of this apartment! It’ll rent out. Just use a little extra caution around you and go back to life.
LOL..!!!
Everywhere is sketchy now -- just the times we live in.
@@loriannrichardson7644 some are more sketchy than others especially in a ground floor apartment.
“the caulk outline of the former resident” 🤣🤣🤣
Cash, Cash, Cash, smh! Compared to some of the so-called kitchens you've shown us, that is not a "bare bones" kitchen! It's laid out with counter space between the three major units. Nice amount of prep space. Amazing cabinet space.
Imagine going down that stairs while being drunk 0:12
Going downstairs from side to side
That business is a pizzeria called Cut and Slices. It’s Black owned. Known for their oxtail slices. Pizza is pretty good there. That Krusty The Clown mural was done by Jerkface. He’s done a lot of similar type of murals, using well known cartoon characters. Especially the double vision Mickey Mouse in the Bowery. I went to an exhibit he had a few years ago in Chelsea.
You really think we care if it's black owned lmao
@@tmacfan16 Says so on the IG page for Cut and Slices. And to answer your question, I have no idea who you are. Why would I care about you? I’m responding to the video. I only know you exist because you replied to my post. If it bothers you that much that I merely mentioned what’s on the IG page, you’ve got bigger issues to deal with.
@@tmacfan16 Speak for yourself. I do It's obviously, unique because they sell oxtail pizza slices and it sounds delicious.
@@tmacfan16 No kidding. I couldn't care less.
@@tmacfan16 Sounds like you're mad about something.
I love when people come up to you because they know you from watching you on here. I think that is so cool.
Can’t help but wonder if that basement has flooded and it was decided that this would be apart of the apartment. Not to mention that the basement gives off some creepy vibes too. Though despite that, I am sure someone will overpay to rent this apartment.
I too felt uncomfortable about that basement.
I posted something similar before reading your comment.
The basement gives me eerie vibes. Like something happened down there.
Honestly, I'm glad that you're back in NYC.
Me too for some reason. Same cool 😎 last name!
Me too! But I loved all the Japan vlogs. It felt like a different planet.
Be Careful of the Copy Crocs, some of them absorb odors very easily and it never goes away until you donate them to Goodwill.
That's pretty cool. I don't know why ppl in NYC would miss a dishwasher. From the way you sell restaurants, ppl must eat out all the time.
Are you kidding? Nobody wants to cook!
Soon all the chefs will be replaced by snobby robots.
"How dare you put horseradish on my jello!"
That’s awesome !!! A underground bunker room !!! 😊. And bigger than the rest of the apartment !!! 😄
That downstairs room shares a basement wall with the funeral home next door. Spooky.
It does? Previously commented that the basement gave me bad vibes.
When the funeral home was closed, did someone work on a tunnel that is now hidden?
It should be even cheaper cuz it's next to a funeral home. There's going to be a lot of people coming to the wakes and standing in front of the funeral home. And the idea of a deceased person right next door is to depressing.
It's so weird. I've sense an eerie feeling about that place. I wonder if this apartment was temp storage from the pandemic.
Or seeing how many care is uplifting. Dying alone and being located by smell and not given a funeral, just buried, is what is depressing.
@@653j521 Your right and it's very sad to think no one would be there to say they care . But if you are a renter it would be difficult to be so close to so much sadness and grief right next to your front door.
It's still so weird landlords put in tank water heater. Small tankless are cheap and a fraction of the size. Leaving you a nice closet.
Putting one in is a tankless job though. No respect I get no respect. I'll be here all week. Or maybe longer. I seemed to be locked in. Try the veal.
Brooklyn, absolutely a wonderful place! =] That's is approximately 4 blocks from my apartment and it's a great spot. It's nice to finally see some actual affordable places as well, albeit paying $1425, before utilities can still be expensive. Though I do watch your videos less because I'm looking for a place, and more so how the other half lives and laugh at how much more space I get across the river for 2 to 3 times less rent.
$1 for a clementine? That is very expensive.
same prices Upstate NY, Central & WNY...things aren't cheap anymore even at WalMart where they sell food
In south new jersey acme markets for 4.99 a bag
Cash, your editing has become top notch 👌🏾
Legally, it's a one-bedroom apartment, and $2850 isn't cheap in Brooklyn. But it has that enormous downstairs room that might be used for a home business, and seeing those locks on the connecting door, that might have been its previous use. If you have a use for the big room it might be worth the price, but otherwise I'd look elsewhere.
I agree. It was probably used as a business (because there was a separate entrance) or possibly to last tenant sublet the space without informing their landlord. There is no shower in the bathroom. I would tend to believe it was used for a business but you never know. For $10-20 a month someone could join a gym and take showers there. I am sure there is a gym near by.
Think this is the best priced apartment you've done recently. Not too bad at all for NYC.
The price is decent on this place. There are definitely options. The baths and kitchen are roomy and even though the upstairs living area is small you may want to use that for a kitchen table and office near the window. Then paint the basement a nice neutral color as the white walls are pretty stark. Some nice furniture and big screen tv and possibly second bedroom. Someone probably had a roommate and they wanted their privacy. Nothing creepy about that. Close to the train and shopping. Not bad. 👍😊
Love your videos Cash! Thank you very much!
It looks like a previous renter was using the basement level as a bedroom and put the locks on to keep the other resident from walking in on them in the middle of...activity.
I like the way you used "Activity"Lol😆
I LOVE this place! Great price and that basement is AWESOME!!!
Had to resubscribe!!! Love your videos and love your family!!!! Thank you for showing NYC!!!
Cash, Im not even gonna hold you on this one, you put in work for this. You were in Bushwick went to Bed-Stuy then traveled back to the other side of Bushwick for the video. Talk about effort! The apartment could really work especially if downstairs is used properly. The only downside I would see if one would be living on an extremely busy block but I think the price makes up for it. Sidenote - Check out Cut and Slices next time Cash, you won't be disappointed.
Cute place! Thanks again for showing us! Like the downstairs space. To bad one probably couldn't put outdoor furniture/grill outside the front door. You'd see it once and GONE! Decent place..price is great too! Have a good one! 😜
I used to live around that part of Brooklyn. It’s on the Bedstuy/ Bushwick border. It’s going through a bit of a revival these past years. Hopefully Broadway Ave gets included in the revitalization.
"If you need a dishwasher ... " 😂
I enjoy watching your videos ! You show the town and the shops, and i like your sense of humour.
And also your obsession with " the sink sprayer " !
I’d use the basement as a living room and use the living area upstairs as a dining room.
It’s kinda fun to pretend that it’s my new apartment! How I’d lay out my furniture and stuff is kinda fun.
Great video luv watching your videos
Thanks for sharing this great video take care
I'd pass on this apartment....I need more sunlight dammit!!
I lived in a basement apartment. I left for work before dawn and got home after dusk, This would be a good apartment for someone who works nights. They won't need blackout curtains.
Love it my guess there was a business downstairs or separate roommate that did not feel safe around the other roommate. Or the person staying downstairs needed to keep their things private cause of their line of work.
I used to think New York was expensive, but I've seen places in Jacksonville going for the same price as New York. It's just crazy right now.
Same in Portland, Oregon. It's gotten insane. One bedrooms are about $1,800 & it goes up from there. Insane.
Hey! The notification popped as I was about to click something else lol that was sneaky
That basement is total tubular ! 💯
$2900/month for that? That's NOT bad!!! I like that better than the $1/orange (they used to be 3 for $1). I don't particularly like ground floor apartments but depending on the neighborhood, flooding, rodent risk, etc, I could work with that! One could live there and still be able to save some money for the next move!
Used to be? Decade, please? Pre-pandemic or 1970s?
@@653j521 in Brooklyn, pre-pandemic. That's more of a fruit stand price though.
This is Gonna B so Good CJ🔥🔥🔥👍….
Neon mops. Cracks me up!
That basement gave me chills. Something not quite right happened there which is probably why the rent is on the cheaper side👀
3:00 Its Shrinkflation, they now give you less for the same price. Pay attention to the Net Weight on bags of chips or ounces on bottle sodas, quantity of napkins in a pack, wipes in the Lysol wipes, etc. They are less quantity for the same price.
4:55 beautiful floor but the separation of the floor boards from expansion and shrinking needs to be fixed
6:39 Thats not a massive "free" AC. Thats the only way to heat and cool the apartment. Meaning, enjoy paying a high electricity bill Winter and Summer.
8:18 bathroom door is in the kitchen 😒
The pizza shop is called Cuts (half of a slice) and Slices ( whole slice) … its one of the premier pizza shops in the city… they offer some of the best specialty slices
At least the neighbours will be quiet
I had a dream just like that... Scary..
That basement was a nice surprise space!
Use the tiny house w/bonus room pitch.
I like how you wash dishes.
Dead bodies from the Funeral Home next door, were probably kept there in the bsmt. Scary!
Exactly! Creepy basement energy! No windows for the dead ☻ to escape out of😱.
It would help gauge the size of the bedrooms if you would lie down to show us length. A lot of those rooms don't look big enough for a bed...
Just think , Cash . The difference in parks between Japan / USA . The lack of respect of cleanliness.
I’m not sure I’d want the bathroom next to the kitchen. Awkward.
Great for an Airbnb setup.
Those air conditioners are PTACs, commonly found in hotels. They work great and many of them are heat pumps.
How would someone survive a hot summer in a basement without AC and window?
I noticed a Boston Terrier in front of the juice bar…. and you just let him pass on by… tsktsk😂😂
I love your videos !!!
Funny they showed me that same space about a year ago and it was going for $1600, and the agent told me it was a steal because it was next to the funeral home and close to the train. Dam things have changed.
Live long juice bar! Yes! ❤️❤️
In my area all sleeping rooms must have direct access to the outside, either through a window or door. I notice that that's not the case in NYC unless people just ignore the rule.
It is the law in New York. Don't think that basement door would count.
It doesnt follow the law... But that doesn't stop people
Technically that apartment is a one-bedroom place with a very large basement.
We have the same thing going on out here in California. According to our fire code laws, there are only supposed to be so many people per square feet. But with illegals crowding in, 4-5 families in a 1000 SQ ft house, landlords are just ignoring it. It's mostly illegals that own the houses and code enforcement doesn't give a shit. Courts won't do shit either. Well, what should we expect from a state that just legalized infanticide up to a year old. Smh.
I'd so put a book case in front of the downstairs door and make it a secret room...no one would know its there!
You're not the type who would keep someone chained up down there are you?
But why?
@@loriannrichardson7644 be my own space I never have to show anyone...why not
6k a month for a 2 bedroom! Na, I'll take a cabin upstate NY over an apartment NYC.
Hi enjoy the channel! Greetings from Dubai!!!!!
they shouldn't be allowed to randomly carve up apartments
06:06 attempted break-in? probably why it's so cheap :P
Its honestly not too bad. Could use some tlc but it has good space to work with.
Please tell me I misunderstood that you are relocating your office from Soho to a scary section of Brooklyn. That apartment is also scary. And calling it a duplex? Wow.
For $2800, this is one of the most spacious apartments you've shown recently, even the "bare bones" kitchen.
Cool 😀
Saw you biking on 59th and 6th!
I like that dishwasher 😂
These apartments are still for rent because of the outrages amounts of rent these landlords are asking for. Also alot of them have been cutting large bedrooms into two bedrooms. Smh
This isn’t bad for the price and has much more potential than you may initially think. I’d rent it if I needed a space 😃
Hi Cash! Watching from the Philippines. I'm a future USA-RN, planning to move to NYC someday, after I graduate college, probably start my nursing career at NYC.
I don't think that's a 2 bedroom apartment, but I kinda like it. If ever I move to Newyork, this apartment is enough for me, though I wouldn't call it a 2 bedroom. The price is good enough, but it's not a 2 bedroom, so it's kinda, pricey.
Chao. 👋🏻
Most people who live here have room mates. Trying to find an apartment all for yourself, especially when your just starting out in your career here is uncommon. Ive lived here my entire life
Italian state of mind: "wow, you can put a bidet in that bathroom!"
Mmmm interesting wonder what that basement was used for lol
I think it works for a family. Regards Cash 🤗
The outside of the building reminds me of San Francisco
In NY, your apartment is a closet. 🤣
In NY, your closet is an apartment.
It is really only big enough for ONE person considering the size of the rooms.
Not even a couple? Come on. Basement is a good hang out space. Put in an entertainment system or a ping pong table or a bar, or all of the above. And the couple could get away from each other if they had a fight, or they could have friends over. How many hours are most NYC couples at home, anyway? It seems as if they work long hours, eat out a lot, enjoy night life and running/jogging/walking/biking. Plenty of room.
It’s not a bad place to live. Small kitchen not bad.
That was a skinny slice of pizza I guess it goes well with the apartment
Not sure I'd want to live next to the funeral home.
Really nice for the money.
I like it,this price is right 👍
wish the people who turn thse "spots" into apartments in NYC to make a buck would watch the "Small Spaces" or "Tiny Homes" videos on CZcams prior to making these spaces to get some tips!!!!.......these places are crazy setups.....& this one is in Bushwick 'hood of Brooklyn...smh.....looks like an old building super's apartment with that attachment to a basement office area w/ half bath.
One could put a bidet next to the toilet.
That was a good kitchen. Wouldn't call it 'bare bones' at all. Who cares if it has a dishwasher?
Fully expected a Clerks reference when you were outside that Popeyes… 😁
I bet either the basement was a office or someone rented that out, thus the locks. For $1425 a person, that's not bad if you turn the basement into a movie room/office. Get the landlord to put in some carpet there and a dishwasher. Great video as always Cash!
Maybe not carpet since there was a drain in the middle of the room.
@Zach S the landlord is not gonna put in no damn carpet nor a dishwasher. The TENANT is responsible for the carpet & as far as a dishwasher, wheres it gonna go?
I think the tenant went out through the downstairs door that way locking their room when they were out.
It was once 2 flats by the looks
Have you ever done a listing for Decker Heights Brooklyn? I would love to see some listing there and to see what they go for.
