    Time Out New York / Issue 656 : Apr 23–29, 2008
    Apartments ’08

    The TONY team

    The New York rental market is so competitive, you feel pressure to slap a deposit down for every place you see. Wouldn’t it be helpful if you could take along a team of experts—say, an exterminator, a plumber and an interior designer—to point out the flaws or help you spot a diamond in the rough? We thought so.

    By Jaime Jordan

    The experts

    (A) Denise Ducray
    Denise Ducray Design, Inc.
    The soft-spoken interior designer has more than 20 years of residential and commercial experience, handling everything from condo makeovers in Trump Towers to hair salon updos. (212-459-1753, deniseducraydesign.com)

    (B) Peter Kiernan
    Roto-Rooter Plumbing and Drain Service
    Kiernan is an experienced (and rather witty) master plumber who provides insight on common infrastructure issues in the bathroom and the kitchen. (800-GET-ROTO, rotorooter.com)

    (C) Samuel Soto
    First Rate Exterminators
    Soto has the know-how to tackle all manner of pest infestations—he even has a bedbug-sniffing canine. (718-863-1100, pestfree123.com)

    (D) Jaime Jordan
    Intrepid reporter
    Arriving with a trio of experts, Jordan ignored the skeptical glances of brokers to get the scoop on what you should know before you sign the lease.

    What they saw:

    1. The two-bedroom in Williamsburg
    2. The studio in Lincoln Center
    3. The one-bedroom in Chelsea
