Lawyerly Lairs: Columbia Law Grad Seeks Dishwasher, Washer-Dryer

Finding a decent apartment in New York City takes tenacity, as one Columbia Law grad learned.

Turner’s initial visits weren’t promising, as recounted by Joyce Cohen:

Ms. Turner, 26, checked out a ground-floor apartment, for $3,100, conveniently located across from Tompkins Square Park and its dog run. The apartment faced a row of trash cans. “We had to walk through a swarm of flies to get in,” Ms. Turner said. That wouldn’t do.

She liked an apartment for $3,125 a month, small but nice, on St. Mark’s Place. But such a busy street wouldn’t be good for Moose, her golden retriever. “It can get difficult to navigate walking the dog on a leash when there’s a ton of people,” she said.

I actually checked out the St. Marks Place apartment, a short walk from the Above the Law offices in NoHo. Here are three photos of the exterior (click to enlarge):

109 St Marks Place 2

109 St Marks Place 3

The building, at 109 St. Mark’s Place (aka East 8th Street), is attractive. But Turner’s correct that it can get busy, especially on weekends. On to the next option….
