Discussion about 347 West 22nd Street #4
(Discussing Sale at 347 West 22nd Street) needs new kitchen and bathrooms has an odd staircase up to bedrooms which makes you wonder what is under the stairs- there is a building going up in the back on 23rd street will be noisy for the next two years- its a partlor floor but it feel like a first floor- its drastically overpriced evidenced by the time on the market and the constant open houses
This place has some of the smallest bathrooms I've seen in NYC. The kitchen is terribly outdated, although large with potential if renovated properly. The place needs a gut renovation, but who knows what you'll be able to get past the coop board. Overall, to much risk for a place with deep flaws and at this price.
no way... for that price, the main/cc, and the condition of the property... i would rather live in a highrise 2 bedroom condo with a doorman
Everything is a great buy at the right price, this clearly is not the right price another openhouse held on Feb 11tho Clearly the Great Buy comment came from the broker- 1.3-1.5 range is a realistic area and even then not sure you can accomplish what most chelsea queens would like-
hmm??? they might be able to slide in 1.3-1.5M chelsea men?
while technically a parlor floor, it feels like a ground level apartment, this apartment lacks something that Je ne sais quoi. Also you will have construction behind you going on for the next two years with the new building going up on 23rd-
i saw this apartment recently and I am an architect, and the big problem that i see is the bathrooms. The bathrooms are so small and unapealling so if you renovate and want to make them larger you would have to take up so much room from other parts of the apartment to comply with the american disabilities act (ADA) that you are posed with a a problem of larger bathroom at the expense of a spacious feel. But the bathrooms are so awful that anyone spending this kind of money on an apartment would want nice bathrooms.
another apartment is for sale in this building, there was another sale recently, what's up? is it the impending construction behind the building? construction=rodents- yikes!!!!
I wouldn't consider this place at $1.1. They are smoking crack!
#2. When you have your board interview, can you not tell the board what you would need to do to consider the place livable, get their OK & then have them sign a document giving you permission to carry out the work? That's what I would insist on or no deal.
#8. The Americans with Disabilities Act applies to private residential real estate? I never dreamed that you would have to consider that when renovating your private residence. Thanx everybody for the invaluable information.
seems silly but if you move around anything in a bathroom a wall, sink, toilet et.. yu need to make the bathroom compliant with ada- if u r just replacing things you can leave as is-
be honest with the board, if they feel like u r lying to them then u may hav a problem - the board will never sign anything-
#11, Board Interviews, and renovation requests do not work that way. You can't get the board's committment at a meeting. And you would have to present a ton of information (including architects plans).
Besides, for this kind of work you would need building permits. A good friend of mine has been waiting for 6 months for permits. Meanwhile, he is living w/o a usable kitchen and w/ a dysfunctional bathroom.
no open his this weekend, maybe the broker is at the white party-
no open house this weekend, must be the black party and a price reduction to boot- think 200 grand more down than perhaps a sale
come on sell this thing- price it at 1.495, u may get a small bidding war and get 1.55 or so- or else you can wait another 6 months with the same result- come on broker convince your client of the reality and move one-
no black party this weekend and there is an open house
a 70 grand reduction come on mr black and white- clearly the clients would rather hold onto an empty apartment- don't forget the building going up in the back yard- those are the hardest to sell-
rent it out- the market is good but the price must be right com eyou know that-
215 days on the market. Owners what is that telling you?
i wonder what this went for, i guess we will find out shortly, on for about 9 months, i guess 1.625 perhaps a bit overpriced for a gut job with a building going up behind- but hey kids that's new york-
