Yep. In a building quickly (poorly) built in 2016. The pipes bang, I have mold from the tub in the entry way closet/pantry since one of the walls is shared with the bathroom. And the light fixture in my bathroom fell on me and shattered, causing me to need stitches in my hand. We also seem to have new management personnel every 3 months or so.

I mean my friends were paying that much in the Mima building 10 years ago. They moved to a brand new building in williamsburg that had a nice roof deck for $4k for a 2 bedroom.

Not sure if you've looked recently, but most of the 1br in lower Manhattan that are big enough for 2 people if one is WFH are going for that much. Not even luxury buildings, just 600 sq ft co-ops built in the 60s

We were looking at 70 pine when we were floating breaking our lease back in November and did notice that rates were in the mid 4's.

We lived in FiDi 2020-2021 and paying $3900.
