195 East Second Street #34, NEW YORK, NY 10009 · 34
East Village, Manhattan · 1 BR · $3,350/mo · active as of 9/27/2026
The building at 195 East Second Street has 15 open HPD violations, including 1 Class C violation, which is the most serious category requiring immediate correction—these often involve safety issues like lead paint, lack of heat, or severe structural problems. At the viewing, ask specifically what the Class C violation is for and whether it has been addressed; you can also look this up yourself on the HPD website using the building's address. There have been 2 heat complaints filed against this 30-unit building in the past 12 months, so it's worth asking current residents or the landlord about heating reliability, especially heading into fall and winter. On pricing, the $3,350 asking rent is about 7% below the neighborhood median of $3,595 based on 45 comparable listings, which suggests reasonable value for the area. The listing photos appear honest but use wide-angle lenses in several shots that make compact spaces look larger than they are, and most images rely on artificial lighting with only three showing natural window light—pay close attention to actual room dimensions and daylight during your visit. Pets are allowed per the listing, but square footage isn't provided, so measure the rooms yourself if space matters to you.
Photos
We looked at 8 of 12 photos (we check up to 8, and skip any that won't load).
NYC rental spans kitchen, living areas, and 2 bedrooms. Multiple photos use wide-angle distortion (indices 0, 1, 2, 4, 7) to enlarge compact spaces. Lighting is primarily artificial; only 3 photos show natural light from windows (indices 2, 4, 6). Several kitchen/living photos are over-brightened with artificial lighting (indices 0, 1, 3, 7) to compensate for windowless interior areas. No evidence of virtual staging…
Narrow galley kitchen. Ceiling appears lifted by wide-angle distortion; bright overhead lighting compensates for lack of windows.
Wide-angle shot of open-plan space. Artificial lighting dominates; room appears larger than actual footprint.
Two windows visible. Natural light present but unevenly distributed across floor. Wide-angle distortion evident in wall convergence.
Artificial lighting only. Compact open-plan layout; space feels brighter due to ceiling height and white walls.
Two windows at far end. Long, narrow hallway-kitchen. Wide-angle perspective elongates space; natural light from distance.
Small bedroom, no windows visible. Modest ceiling-mounted lighting. Accurately represents a compact interior bedroom.
One bright window visible right of frame, providing strong natural light into bedroom. Standard perspective.
Galley kitchen with wide-angle distortion. White walls and bright overhead lighting create oversized appearance; ceiling bows outward at edges.
