What to check before for affordable buildings in Upper West Side

  • Check for any additional fees or costs beyond rent, such as broker fees or utilities.
  • Verify if the building has any restrictions or special requirements before applying.

  • Look for tenant reviews to learn about the experiences of past and present residents.
