“Pros: Comfortable and clean Cons: They will raise your rent the max amount every year Advice to landlord: More fair pricing for resigning”
— 1520 YORK AVENUE · Manhattan“Pros: Friendly doormen and staff. Cons: Old building and the smell of weed smoke was a daily occurrence. Building is “non-smoking” but this is far from the case and management will do NOTHING but send out an occasional email. I had to open my windows all year before my lease ended from 30 degree or below weather to 90+ days just to avoid my bedroom from filling with the neighbor’s smoke. I even went through the desperate measure of moving my entire bed from the bedroom to the living room. If you are neighbors with dogs/toddlers you will hear everything. No sleeping in whatsoever. For more than a year there was massive leaking from the upstair bathroom, mold, and a hole that maintenance would patch over that would then leak all over again. Door knob was old and loose and fell out into the hallway at one point. Advice to landlord: Do something about smokers”

— 1520 YORK AVENUE · Manhattan“Friendly staff, great location, lovely facilities. We miss living there but due to my job relocation we had to move. Our apartment was sound facing on 19th floor with lovely view and also lots of sunshine. Few problems we had some of which got resolved (hence 4 stars rating): - Within one week of moving they started working on the exterior of the building and the sundeck was closed and never opened by the time we left. This was never mentioned to us when we were viewing and signing the lease - apartments get really hot during winter and they have no means to control the temperature as their heating system is old (and I understand some get colder than others). This was fixed after we complained or at least became better. They did insert some sort of a shield which fixed the problem. Final comment is that we didn't have any issues with check out process and received our deposit back in full. Overall a very pleasant experience and memories”
