412 W 36th St APT 2B, New York, NY 10018 · 2B
Chelsea, Manhattan · 2 BR · $6,700/mo · active as of 9/26/2026
This 1920 building has 16 open HPD violations, though none are Class C (the most hazardous category), which suggests maintenance issues that haven't risen to immediately dangerous conditions. At the viewing, ask the building manager for specifics on what these violations involve and when repairs are scheduled, and check hallways and stairwells for deferred maintenance. The asking rent of $6,700 for 600 square feet sits 8% above the neighborhood median of $6,200 and above the 75th percentile of $6,595 across 21 comparable listings, so you're paying a premium. About 19% of comparable units are offering concessions, which may give you room to negotiate. The unit was listed as available September 1, meaning it's been on market nearly a month, worth asking why. The photos appear to show this unit but have noticeable wide-angle distortion and heavy artificial lighting, so room dimensions may look larger than reality; bring a tape measure to verify the 600-square-foot claim. The building has six floors with 14 residential units, no heat complaints in the past year, one noise complaint, and no bedbug or rodent reports. Whether the building has an elevator and whether it's rent-stabilized were not retrieved, so confirm these details directly with the landlord.

Photos 0-3 are living spaces with wide-angle distortion; photos 0, 1, 3 each show 1-2 windows with natural light but heavily supplemented by artificial lighting. Saturation of décor (cushions, artwork) suggests staging. Photos 5-6 are bedrooms with 2 windows each, also staged with minimal décor and over-lit.
