If you want privacy, go 5 in the morning. There is a mikvah in the basement in a shtebul on E. 13 between M & N that is open and hardly anyone uses it at that time. Just bring your own soap and towel. Comes 1 O’clock Erev Rosh Hashanah & Yom Kippur the place is packed.
Another solution is make your own mikveh. Up until a hundred years ago communal bathing was common, now everyone has at least one bathroom per apartment. Converting a bathtub to a mikvah is possible but would require a larger tub.
