How bad of an idea is it to keep a LSG in an apartment in NYC? I'm close to the park if that means anything.

It's pretty retarded.
How big of an apartment? I keep two cats, a 20 pound dog, and 50 pound dog in a 750sqft condo and things never feel cramped. Obviously if you live in a 450 sqft efficiency, its a bad idea. But a modestly sized 2 bedroom would be fine.
So long as you are willing to give it good exercise with two walks a day things will be fine. LGDs tend to be couch potatoes once they get a hit older.

doesn't feel cramped but i guarantee it smells like a box of shit
It's worth a shot. A lot of "muh instincts" can be beaten out of a dog like that while they're a puppy if you have a heavy hand.

Lifestock guardian dogs. Dogs specifically bred to live among sheep and cattle as a member of the flock and fight off coyotes, wolves and bears. Different form shepherds.

So not really well suited to apartment life.
Most LSGD will prefer to be outside rather than inside.
