“Pros: The building is always clean and have never had any issues with the building. The owners are very responsive, and the live in super is really helpful. Cons: Not much to complain about, except that 2 of the 4 washers are finicky and always breaking. The water pressure isn't the best, but you get used to it.”
— 355 WEST 85 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: The building has great potential and a great location. Cons: This building is neglected by its owners. If they put a little money into the place, the building would be fantastic. Advice to landlord: Stop nickel and diming.”
— 355 WEST 85 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Live-in super, elevator, laundry in basement, reasonable prices, excellent location Cons: Could be noisy at times, can't work directly with super (need to put in request through landlord first)”
— 355 WEST 85 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: -Nice location -Apartment was newly renovated on move-in -No pest issues (though plenty of dead roaches in the basement and stairwells during the warmer months) -Minimal maintenance issues -Nice super -Laundry in basement Cons: -Owners can be incredibly rude and rigid -Stiflingly hot in the winter months -Elevator is extremely slow (they just replaced it a few months ago and the new elevator is slower than the last; the replacement also took nearly two months during which time tenants were forced to live in a walk-up, though we did get a reduction in rent during that time). -At the time of this writing, repairs are being done to the building facade, which was recently deemed unsafe by the DOB, and as a result there is a lot of construction noise during the day.”
“Pros: affordable for UWS spacious for Manhattan good light Cons: the owner is really rude and unkind Advice to landlord: don't be a jerk”
