OK, hasn't this pile-on gone long enough? You told him they were likely illegal, he rejected your advice. It doesn't seem English is his first language, so all the sniping really isn't paying off. So why continue to harp on it?

If you google "[email protected]"
the only thing that comes up is this email. I find that a bit strange since this is an email a contact for a "reputable" company.

I don;t think people are "piling on" - I think we're trying to help the OP figure out what the situation actually is. Not legality versus no - but scam or not.
However, they seem determined not to accept any help or suggestions.

Thanks for the continued concern about the existence of this apartment. I now have a telephone number and have had conversations with a real live person. This is for real and I am looking forward to a lovely apartment.

If it does exist and is not a scam then the chances are 99% that it is illegal. If you have no regards for the laws in NYC then enjoy it! I hope that I ever visit your city that I have more respect for the laws that you may have.

I don't know why anyone should be incensed that berniekern is renting an illegal apartment. He's been warned and has rejected that warning, and that's sufficient, I think.
Basically, it's not a problem unless there's a problem (someone in the building complains, something goes wrong with the rental). Then he has absolutely no recourse. It's not a risk I'd take, but if he wants to take it, I don't have a moral objection. Mine is strictly a consumer-rights issue, of which he has absolutely none.

I think I've located the elusive listing

Don't know which is the OP's flat but maybe the NYC locals can tell if they look legit

Well there is only 1 3-bedroom listed - on E 57th St - when the OP said E 50th - so perhaps this isn't the same company. There is a phone (cell) listed but no one answers. (I left a message well over an hour ago and it hasn't been returned - not great if you have a plumbing problem or similar.)
But I guess the OP will just have to tell us the details afterward.
