how many apartment units are there in nyc?
While this does sound like a most intriguing avenue of inquiry sir, the question requires some granular clarifications, to wit:
Off the top of my head (I was involved in a class-action suit against a retirement home for a noise ordinance issue, and became quite familiar with several types of lending laws and ordinances), according to the New York State Housing Authority, Department of Residential and Multi-Zone Rentals, Leases, and Lets; an "Apartment Unit" can be defined as one of the following:
- A subdivision of an existing residential space, demarkated by non-tressable barriers (doorless or sealed-door walls, opaqued windows, courtyard shafts in depth exceeding eight feet, etc.)
- An enclosure with at least one roof and one door, let at monetary rebursement for the purpose of domestic activities
- A sub-divided domicile or room within a general household of at least 3 adults unmarried and unrelated (a "Class-A Sublet").
If you are referring to the first of these definitions, then the number is simply a matter of referencing the most recent New York City Census numbers, then multiplying by 1.85 to account for illegal rentals (this figure is known with surprising precision).
If, however you are inquiring about the figures for either of the latter definitions, or some definition that I, a former resident of Boulder, Colorado, am -- haha -- unaware of... well then sir I must refer your question to someone more qualified than myself.
Fred?

I realize that this is completely off subject and for that I apologize but please indulge me for a moment...Is it just me or do most of the TV shows and movies set in NYC make it seem like an apartment is very cheap. It actually amazed me to find out that even a one room apartment goes for about $800 a month in some places...That is as much or more than a mortgage would cost you in Dallas, TX. Most of the characters depected in these above mentioned mediums never actually go to work anywhere...Am I the only one that has noticed this...Again...I realize that I am completely off subject here but I just happened to be watching "Friends" while reading this particular blog...
For that matter, not all New Yorkers are Caucasian either.
Yup, it's an unfortunate occurance, but I suppose it ultimately is more entertaining that seeing six people crammed into an apartment the size of a sardine can.
Hi. I'm new here but I have response to this:
FRIENDS mentioned in more than a few episodes that Monica/Rachel lived in a rent controlled apartment. The superintendent knew grandma was dead (episode 3 I think) but never told the landlord. Also, they lived in midtown and came from wealthy families (Bank of Mom& Dad anyone?)
Some of my friends sublet apartments from NYU college students: 500 square foot studio for $800-950 per month in 1989. I think the price has gone up considerably.
Where was the one-bedroom you quoted? I may want to rent it.
I live in NYC, $800 is cheap. I also live in london, average rent there is 50% more... my girlfriend comes from tokyo and its about another 33% higher on top of that over there.
it doesn't pay to be broke in new york... i'm poor and i live in the outer boros (bronx) and unless you're making some serious money, you're not gonna live in anything larger than a closet
i have a friend in the real estate business.
average to buy a square foot in manhattan is $1200
average to rent a square foot is about $50 per month
thats between about 86th street and east village
