The 234 Apartment

We finally know the truth. Looking at you, Carrie Bradshaw! Well, thanks to some info provided by ForRent.com, we recently found out just how much those rom-com houses actually cost. And now we rounded up some new stats on your favorite Netflix shows ! Here are some the most notable ones: HBO Kimmy considerably upgraded from her Indiana bunker when she scored this Brooklyn apartment. In the show, the apartment costs $475 per month. Between her and Titus, that's only $237.50 a person! Not too shabby. But the current market value for the apartment IRL is around $1,300 per month, or $650 split between the two of them. That's still pretty reasonable, and Kimmy could ~probably~ afford that on her nanny salary. Netflix In 1979, Pablo Escobar spent around $63 million for his massive 5,000-acre estate. The property had 24 artificial lakes, an airstrip, helipads, a swimming pool, a 500- seat bullfighting arena , life- size concrete dinosaurs Escobar built for his son, and a private zo...

T wo weeks ago, a Manhattan Supreme Court judge handed down a decision designed to strike fear in the hearts of landlords. Justice James d’Auguste ordered that an independent receiver be appointed to manage two Midtown residential buildings where the landlords allegedly allowed illegal Airbnb rentals to occur. The case, which began when the city sued the landlords in February 2015, has become one of the battlegrounds in a larger war between city enforcement agencies and short- term rental sites like Airbnb. Airbnb, which was recently valued at $31 billion, refuses to release the exact addresses of hosts who break the law by renting their entire apartment for less than 30 days without being present. Without the addresses and names of Airbnb violators , the city mostly targets the owners of buildings that rack up the most illegal hotel complaints from 311 calls and the New York City Department of Buildings. “This entire model—and it was intentional [by the city]—is complaint-drive...
