Rental of the Day: 76 Henry Street
This two-bedroom apartment at 76 Henry Street is located right on top of Siggy’s Good Food. The Marketplace listing is a third floor walk-up, which may be a drawback to some, but overall the apartment appears to be fairly spacious and in reasonable condition. It’ll set you back $2,400 a month, which isn’t a ton…

The first floor was the original location of PEAS ‘N’ PICKLES, which illegally removed the facade and replaced it with a roll-down gate. Landmarks made them replace it.
The windows on this building were illegally changed about 20 years ago, for non-compliant windows. They may have gotten away with it, but I suspect this is a long-standing violation.

PS The bedrooms in the M units at 135 are about 22′ x 20′
…
It just so happens the sale listing for 135 East 54th Street #6M in Midtown is still on SE. So is the floor plan.
bedrooms?
No, try one, not two.
22′ x 20?
Huh…that doesn’t really seem all that close to the actual measurement of 11’8″ x 16’4″. The LR (must be THAT was the second bedroom – who needs to entertain anyway, its just a crash pad) is 12’6″ x 21’6″.

sorry DIBS – you just got pwned.

You can say that again, my friend.
sadly, it probably actually smelled better when it WAS thriving with industry and polluted than it does today.

North Brooklyn aka smelly industrial brooklyn
Yeah, and then one of the renters starts reading brownstoner and decides not to pay the rent b/c he finds out it’s not a legal bedroom.
That usually ends up well.

With closets btw. Something I bet this unit doesn’t have in either “bedroom.”

Yes, renters have lower standards, we all know that.
The law on what’s a legal BR doesn’t apply to them????
“This place isn’t a real 2 bedroom. It says that in the listing. It’s about 600-700 sq ft after you take away the common areas.”
it’s a rental – “REAL” two bedrooms don’t matter at this price point. if it’s got 2 rooms that can fit a bed that have doors, it’s a 2 bedroom.
