It’s always a bad time to be apartment hunting. Generally leases end at the end of the month and start at the beginning of the month. But if you’re looking to move after Christmas, you should probably be getting ready to sign a lease in the next month or two.
I signed a lease in May for the place we moved into August 1st.

Wait until January.
Wait
There are more options in the summer. Less people move to the city in the winter time. On the other hand I was lucky enough to find my place around the middle of November so you may find a gem, but that’s not the norm.

A lot of people will be OOO/limited availability during that period
NYC is very last minute. I would say move in date minus 4 weeks.
Unless you are going through a large management company that knows a unit is going to be available 2 months ahead of time.
