213 E 45th St APT 2R, New York, NY 10017 · 2R
Murray Hill, Manhattan · 1 BR · $2,795/mo · active as of 9/28/2026
City records for this building are complete. The asking rent of $2,795 is 24 percent below the neighborhood median of $3,695 for comparable units, which is unusually low and worth asking the broker to explain. The building has zero open HPD violations and no heat complaints in the past 12 months, though there were 5 noise complaints to 311 during that period, so you may want to ask neighbors about sound levels between floors. Photos show recessed lighting and artificial brightening throughout, so confirm actual daylight by visiting during daytime hours with window shades open. Room dimensions are not provided and the photos suggest careful framing, so bring a tape measure to verify furniture fit. The listing does not specify pet policy, laundry, or whether there is a broker fee, so confirm these details directly with the agent before signing.
