What to look for in a two-bedroom apartment in Middle Village

How to verify a two-bedroom listing
Listings often over-promise on amenities. Before you sign a lease for a claimed two-bedroom apartment in Middle Village, run through this verification checklist:
- ✓For flex apartments, verify the landlord allows temporary walls in writing
- ✓Check NYC Multiple Dwelling Law compliance — flex walls must not block egress
- ✓Measure both bedrooms separately, not just the total
- ✓Look for at least 80 sqft per bedroom as the legal minimum
- ✓Verify that the second bedroom has its own window
