I am moving back to NY in the Fall and will be looking for an Oct. 1 lease. I am not planning to use a broker since I will mostly be looking at the luxury-doorman-type buildings near Columbus Circle and along 7th Ave in Chelsea (easy enough to deal with management directly). I am planning to be out of the country through Sept and so would be looking to spend a few days apartment-searching in early-to-mid August.
For anyone with experience with these buildings, is this probably too early to be looking (~8 weeks ahead)? I am considering booking a trip to come back for a few days to look in mid-Sept instead. How much notice do leases in these buildings usually require for renewal? (ie. how far ahead do they know their availability?) I assume that I'll have better luck with rental buildings than with condos if I'm looking this early? If anyone has insight, it'd be much appreciated.

> along 7th Ave in Chelsea
Do you mean 6th ave? That's where the majority of those rental buildings are. 7th has the Centro, and I can't think of any others. 6th has vanguard, landmark, capitol, towers, 666, archstone, and some others...
My take is, can't hurt. They supposedly get notice about vacancies 60 days before (well, its at least what they seem to request), so they might have a bead before something gets posted.
That being said, they might not. But if you know the "lines" from your visit, you might not need to see the actual place...
