island. Do you like pizza? I bet you do.

I like pizza, too.

I like it a little bit too much.

Wait, sweetie.

Don't run. Don't run.

What the...

Get stuck in here, huh?

- Mommy, what happened?

- Sorry. It's all right.

Damn it.

Another puddle.

Sorry about that. I keep telling Mr. Veeck

he's got to mop in there every morning.

You know,

with all this rain we're having,

you can't stop some of it

coming down that elevator shaft.

There's just no way to stop it.

Anyway, here's 9F down here.

The building was built in 1976

by Stern-Jackson and associates,

in the brutalist style.

Um... Now, what they were trying to create,

as you can see, was kind of a little village,

kind of a Utopia, actually,

is what they had in mind.

And some of those ideas

have come together.

Some of their original plans for the place

were a little crazy, if you ask me, actually.

Hello.

Yeah, I just do that

just in case. It's vacant.

- Come on in.

- Shall I close this?

Yeah. Let me just apologize in advance.

The place is in a little bit of a mess.

Our last tenant

was a little messy,

but we're going to put a fresh new

coat of paint on this whole place.

It's going to brighten it up quite a bit.

Let's take a look at your bedroom, sweetie.

This could be your room

if Mommy wants it to be.

- What do you think? Isn't that great?

- There's no air in here.

Of course there's air in here. If there

wasn't air, we wouldn't be able to breathe.

Uh... That window does not open, but it lets

a lot of natural light in in the afternoons.

- It's really great.

- Strange.

I kind of like it. In the afternoon,

it brightens the place up quite a bit.

Anyway, here's the closet.

You could put your dollies in there,

or, you know, Mom could use it for storage.

- Let me show you the bathroom. OK?

- OK.

Come on, honey.

Is this another closet here?

Yeah, that's the foyer closet.

The bathroom's pretty self-explanatory.

It's in decent shape. Once we clean it up.

You got the toilet, of course,

the sink, bathtub.

This glass is safety glass.

I mean, you could hit that

as hard as you want, it will not break.

And that is great for your peace of mind,

you know, when Ceci's taking a bath.

Hey, Ceci.

Come look in here.

Ah, you're right. That's much better.

You can smell the river. Can you smell it?

- Yeah.

- Let me show you the other bedroom here.

You know, it's tough

to get two bedrooms in Manhattan,

any of the boroughs,

for under a thousand dollars.

OK, that's a closet.

Scratch that. That's a closet.

Um... Kitchen.

Got the refrigerator,

sink, stove,

and this is kind of

a country eat-in dining room.

You see this.

It's just really smart how they did this.
