Pros: When I was living there they were installing new windows and updating the elevators which is great. Cons: Elevators constantly breaking down until the new ones are finished being installed. Advice to landlord: Quicker responses.

Pros: Near station, laundry in building, river view, affordable, spacious, impressive entrance Cons: Small cockroaches (ew!), unfriendly front desk, dirty corridor, old, bathtub always flooded, unresponsive management, frequent management change, scary corridor and elevator, noisy neighbor, cheap grocery store, dark neighborhood Advice to landlord: Be responsive and attentive, train your stuff (what's a point of having front desk if they are just their and looking at their phone not even greeting the residence.

Unit E4B Pros: The location of the place is convenient, about 10-15 min from Columbia University. There is a nice diner right across the building and convenience stores nearby. But the place itself is awful, I wouldn’t recommend it to my worst enemy. Cons: I’m going to apologize for making this long but im writing this to save someone else the heartache of moving to this place. We all know it’s hard to find a decent living situation in NYC and it’s a shame buildings/ management such as 3333 Broadway know that and take advantage of tenants. So when I first moved, I was robbed of everything I owned and a man almost broke into my apartment within 2 days of me moving in. The police were almost certain the thieves live in the building and they also suspected security might be working with the thieves. Every single one of my neighbors I’ve spoken with also told me they had packages stolen from them. Management is honestly the worst, they hang up on you when you call or they won’t answer at all- if you go to their office they won’t open the door and will lock it. They’re not responsive or helpful in any way- I had to make a report to 311 for maintenance to come fix my leaking kitchen sink because I wasn’t able to reach management or maintenance. We had a neighbor on our floor that would leave her dog by itself and the dog would bark for 5-7 hours every single day. This happened for almost 8 months (the whole winter). When me and another of my neighbor asked her to do something about it, she was very defensive, she yelled at us to tell us she’s been living here 32+ years.. (we tried calling security, management, report to 312, calling the police and still nothing). she also leaves her door open and talks to another neighbor while she’s still in her Apt and we can hear the whole conversation. She yelled at my neighbor (he’s Asian) that only Hispanics were welcomed to live in this building.. Management didn’t take any action on any of the above I stated. I work in finance and wfh sometimes, the past 8 months has been extremely tough having to deal with this barking dog nonstop for 5-7 hours every day.. my mental health has been horrible, I even thought about jumping outside of my window a few times because of the nuisance barking (This dog put us through hell fr). There are cockroaches and rats everywhere, the hallways always smell like sweaty booty (I’m not exaggerating). The exterminator is supposed to come every month for pest control but that does not happen (hence, the rats & cockroaches have taken over). Oh also the water turns dark brown sometimes out of the blue, my bathtub exploded a few times in the past (like a bunch of black stuff came out of the bathtub) I was so nauseous and disgusted having to clean that I almost threw up 7 times. My toilet has also exploded a couple of times but it hasn’t happened in a few months. I can keep going and write a whole essay to be honest but I hope you can get an idea of what it’s like to live here ( I literally wanted to kill myself that’s how bad it’s been. I’m waiting for my lease to be up then I’m moving out because they refused to break my lease, but I hope I can spare another person from having to deal with all of this nonsense. Advice to landlord: Honestly just throw yourself in the trash and get new management because you’re awful, horrendous and the worst management team I have ever encountered with.

Pros: Apartments are huge, giant windows, and conveniently located. Beautiful views from rooms. I’ve had friends who have lived here and loved it. Cons: The package room is absolutely abysmal… you wait 45 minutes to pick up a package sometimes. Security guards are a joke they do nothing. There are a lot of pests in this building and management does not care. We keep our apartment VERY clean and we still see the occasional cockroach, and found a dead baby mouse when we moved in. The laundry machines break frequently and you’re kinda screwed because you pay per wash/dry. Advice to landlord: Stop spending money on marketing the building and start putting it back into the facilities thousands of people use every day. EXPAND. THE. PACKAGE. ROOM. AND. STAFF.

Pros: The units themselves are really nice and the proximity to the train is great. I have great neighbors and there’s nothing too crazy going on. The maintenance people are super nice and genuinely do their best to help you solve your problems. Cons: The elevator is great, until it doesn’t work and then you have to climb 19 flights. I’m able bodied so I can do it but it does become an accessibility issue when more than one or all elevators are down. The package room is a bit disorganized and you may have to go back several times to get your package but at least nothing has ever been stolen.

Pros: Close to Columbia U and subway station Cons: - there would be days where there’s no hot water or heat during winter. The property management never fixed the problem - no matter how many times pest control came, there would be ants in the kitchen (I’ve moved to 2 different apartments within the same complex, yet same problem) - some elevators would be down for weeks
