“Pros: Washer + dryer, dishwasher, overhead fans and renovated! Cons: Management is poor, building not maintained, never have hot water. Advice to landlord: Maintain the building”

“Unit 2D Pros: 1. Neighbors are very friendly and helpful. 2. Good shops nearby for food. 3. Close to the train station. Cons: Too many to make a complete list, but the most notable are the following: 1. The Landlord and the management company take turns on avoiding your requests, but make it a priority to harass you for any overdue rent. By harass, I literally mean banging on the door / sending people to intimidate you. 2. While I was there, there were approximately three superintendents, each of diminishing quality. The first super was actually quite helpful; the last could benefit from a different line of work. 3. Repairs? You have to withhold rent for a few months until they finally cave in and repair your unit. Make sure to set up escrow accounts to put your withheld rent in for when they try to threaten you with legal action. 4. Heat and hot water? They're luxuries. The boiler had always been hit or miss for a few years, but it really start crapping out in September 2023. Buy a space heater or expect to wear layers on layers to go to bed. Important in-person meeting in the morning? Shower the night before (if there's any hot water then). 5. Rats. Everywhere. Careful moving the lid of a container in the garbage area because those rats are social. You can also hear rats crawling in between the walls as well. 6. SEVERELY OVERPRICED. You will pay premium rents to be denied the most basic of needs such as heat, hot water and peace. 7. Lack of safety. Packages stolen so frequently that neighbors had to start looking out for each other's packages. There was also an incident where an unhoused individual with mental problems proceeded to break into the same vacant apartment for the span of a month or two. Police would show up and escort him off the premises just for him to return; management was alerted of this, but proceeded to do nothing. The vacant unit was left unlocked for viewings despite this safety issue. Advice to landlord: Nothing. I don't think any advice would get through to him.”

“Unit 6b Pros: The neighbors are friendly and willing to help always... only pro Cons: Roaches, rats, management is a complete and total disaster. See a list of cons below: - Finance office will pull rent $ from account without permission. - Additionally, management won't answer phone calls, texts, or emails for days to weeks, and when they do, they don't provide answers or clarification on issues you are bringing up. - Throughout this winter, we have interrupted HEAT and HOT WATER at least 1x a week, with no help from management. - Building is infested with roaches and first floor deals with rats and mice because the building workers refuse to follow the garbage schedule. Advice to landlord: No advice to them, SLUM LORD.”

“Unit 3D Pros: Quiet building Sweet neighbors for the most part Cons: Stolen packages Doors don’t lock No heat or hot water majority of days Management company doesn’t respond Carbon monoxide issues Landlords have track record of prison and jail time Advice to landlord: Treat your tenants with respect or atleast hot water”

“Pros: It has an elevator Cons: Rats, rats and lousy management who doesn’t respond adequately or timely, the guy and woman who are supposed to be managing it are zeros. And bogus security cameras, everyone knows they are fake so we have huge package thefts Advice to landlord: Get rid of current management company, invest money on pest control and security cameras, fix lobbies, DO SOMETHING”

“Pros: new appliances including dishwasher and washer dryer. Cons: supers keep changing, garbage bins overflow and the trash area is smelly sometimes, i once saw a condom in the window in the stairwell that stayed there for months. Advice to landlord: please do better.”

“Pros: Nice amenities and location. No trash stored in building. Street is mostly quiet. Cons: Management is simply horrible. Super often does not know what to do, though is nice. You will overpay for what you get. Mail was stolen several times.”

“Pros: The super, Jelo, is a great guy. Cons: This building is regularly below the legal limit for temperatures in NYC.

“Pros: Friendly neighbors close to subway Cons: Rats and roaches!! Boiler breaks down often during the winter so heat and hot water is interrupted Management is unresponsive Advice to landlord: Respond to tenant complaints, get rid of pests, stop arbitrary rent increases”

“Pros: It was cheap and looked “nice” but everything pretty much broke the day we moved in , cabinets etc. to Cons: No gas!!! We moved in under the guise that the gas would be turned on soon and then we found out there had been no gas for 8 months prior, so they gave us a hot plate but no use of the stove or oven and no communication to be turning it on soon. We did not receive any cut in rent for this problem. Advice to landlord: Turn on the gas!!!!”

“Pros: It is the best-upgraded apartment! The washer dryer and dishwasher are key in this neighborhood! The supers have been amazing and fix everything you need ASAP. Cons: The heating can be loud and with working from home due to COVID-19 the heat could be on more. The biggest con to the building is the package theft problem. I normally just ship packages to the amazon locker right next door at the Duane Reade. Advice to landlord: Fix the cameras and update the security to have a virtual doorman.”

“Pros: Super is the best I’ve ever had in 5 years in NYC Very responsive, problems are usually solved quickly Cons: Building manager has been pretty delayed with email Package thief’s take stuff a lot, cameras in the lobby haven’t been working maybe? Advice to landlord: Fix lobby camera (packages being stolen)”
