I was born and raised in Manhattan and from my experience I never dealt with a better management than Abington. 10 Jones is a unique building, hard to find anything ever vacant. They just finished with remodeling, basically the whole building is new, starting from the kitchens, bathrooms, hallways, basement, lobby etc. The building is super clean and well maintained, organized and always smells like a fresh laundry. The manager is amazing, never late with response and always ready to help. And cherry on the pie, Joe-The super, very friendly trusted young fella that is always smiling and working.

They have new super and the wife literally takes the garbage and puts it in other buildings with her husband . Then she yelled at one of my neighbors for trying to walk past her in the hallway with a bike as she stood there talking on her cell phone and screaming in the hallway! Stay away this place is turning into a disaster

I would not recommend this place to any one. There have been two break ins within a matter of three weeks. The refuse to doing anything about the security issues. No one returned my phone calls at this place. The first week of my lease the apartment was unlivable - by this I mean there was no bathtub, no stove, no fridge, no cabinets,and no counter tops. After the first day they installed the bathtub - which couldn't get wet for 48 hours. And it took a full week to finish renovating the kitchen. When I asked about pro-rating the rent they laughed and said by their standards it was livable. In my opinion living with exposed wiring, exposed hot water pipes and construction men peeing all over the seat and leaving sawdust everywhere does not constitute livable. The super is nice here but that doesn't make up for the terrible management company, the barking dogs and the paper thin walls. Avoid this place. I urge you to not make the same mistake!

I have lived in several of the abington buildings. Not only are they well maintained but the ownership also. Continiously upgrades the. Units and common areas. I found the supers responsive and managment office to be organized and responsive.

I've had numerous problems with my apartment and abington has never done anything about it. My ceiling leaked, my stove broke, I've got mice problems. They take soo much security deposit and keep raising rent but never do anything to help tenants.

Under no circumstances would I recommend this property or this management company to even my worst of enemies. I am a current tenant with a black mold problem. After notifying the landlord it took months for them to even show up, at which point I notified them of my intent to withhold rent. Rather than fix the problem, you know what this insidious company did? They shut off my power. It took a phone call, not to the landlord, oh no, they were only too happy to not help, but to the police to get my power back on. If I'm paying $4,000 a month to live in a god damn tenement, at least give me the decency of understanding basic legal rights of a renter. To think that this is "company" policy is sickening. STAY AWAY.

I just moved here after looking at dozens of other buildings. This place has everything good! New kitchen, new bath, nice wood floors, a Super, Lourdes, who is a stitch and peace and quiet in THE most happening neighborhood in the city.

I read some previous reviews, and i'm disgusted by what people are saying. I live here for almost a year, and i have never had a problem with the management. I called the maintenance twice, and they showed up both times within few minutes of my call. The building is kept pretty clean, and it has a nice Location. They also have 24 hours maintenance Super living in the building. Thank you

I have been living at 10 Jones Street for the past 2 years and have noticed lots of changes for the better. The lobby and hallways have been completly redone. I have a new kitchen and bathroom. The management company was extremelly helpful; there is a new building manager, Elle, who has been a pleasure to work with. Caroline Berley (Linda's daughter) is now in charge of renting for this building; she must be nothing like what the review say of her mother because she's been a doll.

The apartment is in a great location. 2-3 blocks from the 1,A,C,E,B,D,F,V and close to lots of bars and sex shops. However, the location is the only good thing about 10 Jones Street. The management company is terrible. My apartment was not even cleaned before I moved in. Our toilet was broken, and it took a month to fix it. It took 3 months to have my bathroom renovated. The promised kitchen renovation has yet to still come. Instead, the management company focused on retiling the lobby/hallways. However, instead of actually retiling, the workers simply placed the tiles over the existing ones. The apartment is also old. Hardwood floors creak every step you take, and the walls are paper thin. Abington Properties is TERRIBLE. In addition, the rent is incredibly overpriced. Be warned. You will be paying for location ONLY.
