NYC Apartment Hunter

A rental research agent that works StreetEasy with your exact criteria — move-in window, budget, neighborhoods, non-negotiables — and returns a ranked, vetted top 5 every morning at 8am.

Key highlights

Vets beyond the listing

Reddit and Google Reviews searched for every building and landlord — pests, neglect, and lease disputes get flagged.

Red-flag scanner

Vague photos, 'as-is' language, price outliers, and unclear availability are caught before they waste a viewing.

Tracks every saved listing

Daily re-checks: still available, rented, or price changed — plus only-new listings each morning.

About this routine

Tell it your search parameters once: move-in window, budget, unit type, neighborhoods, what's non-negotiable, and what's a strong preference. For every listing it finds, the agent pulls the building class from the StreetEasy page, scans for red flags — vague photos, missing details, 'as-is' language, price outliers, unclear availability — and then searches Reddit and Google Reviews for the building address and landlord name, flagging any reports of pests, rodents, maintenance neglect, or lease disputes.

The output is a ranked top 5: address, neighborhood, price, doorman status, elevator, in-unit laundry, building class, the direct StreetEasy URL, red flags found (or 'none'), Reddit/Google findings, and a 1–2 sentence verdict. On subsequent runs it checks each saved listing — still available, rented, or price changed — and surfaces only new listings, vetted the same way.

Who this is for

NYC renters in a market where good listings vanish in a day
Anyone relocating to the city and hunting remotely
Couples or roommates who want one shared, ranked, vetted shortlist
Renters burned before by landlords a 5-minute Reddit search would have exposed

Best use cases

The daily 8am sweep

Wake to a ranked top 5 with verdicts — instead of re-running the same StreetEasy search over coffee.

Landlord background checks

Every building and landlord cross-referenced against Reddit and Google before reaching your list.

Price-change watching

That unit at the top of your budget? You'll know the morning it drops — or the morning it rents.
