“Pros: The neighbors have been here a long time and it still feels like real New York where you knew your neighbors. Cons: Trash is full of rats. Zero responsiveness from landlord. Abuse and bullying from management/landlord leaving notices for eviction as intimidation tactics. Doesn’t provide current lease instead wants you to sign expired leases. Fakes tenants and cost of apartment- I know this for a fact because my rent history from the city was incorrect. Advice to landlord: You claim to serve God and practice your religion but you are hypocrites. Be kind and be honest!”
— 4648 BROADWAY · Manhattan“Pros: Street noise isn’t too terrible from the top floor. Really only hear music in the summertime, otherwise it’s quiet. Beautiful, big sunny apartment. Lots of families in the building. The super is kind. Cons: The trash disposal area is a hazard. You have to go down some very old rickety steps that are often littered with garbage to access the bins. Lots of rats in the alley. The stairwell inside the building hardly ever gets properly cleaned. The street noise is considerable, especially for apartments that are lower and street facing. Building management is unresponsive. My apartment had leaks that never got fixed despite multiple requests.”
