    If you have 6 1 pole Breakers you should have 6 circuits. I take it you have a gas stove and no dryer? I am not familar with NYC and the way they do things so I dont want to get you in a heap of trouble. If you have your own meter and pay the electric I would shut off all breakers you cant find and see if any neighbors complain. Make sure you are not shutting down and fire alarm eq. These should not be on their own circuit but who knows what they did.

    Thanks Bass, wasn't sure if you needed a positive and a negative and that technically completed one circuit. So, yeah, I guess in an apartment with 5 rooms and 6 circuits, only 2 are actually being used, one takes on every outlet in the apartment (including those with appliances plugged in), and one takes the built-in overhead lighting. The one that fed all the outlets was hooked up to a 15 amp, I switched it to a 20. I left the overhead lighting on a 15. Only major appliances are a Fridge, Microwave, mini-fridge. Other than that I've got the usual electronics, TV, Computer, Ext. Hard Drive. Oh yeah, and no fire alarm routed through the electrical system.
