“Pros: Generally a responsive super, renovated apt upon move-in, organized trash system, buzzer intercom to phone, kind landlord who is quick to attend to major repairs for my unit, office correspondence has improved Cons: Mail theft in lobby, which I realize is now a common problem in the city and not isolated to this building, loud neighbors at times, water temp/pressure needs some TLC after many years of working fine.”

— 518 WEST 139 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Pros -love my renovated apt -super is kind and generally responsive, much better than most NYC supers -landlord and I have a good relationship -management is responsive and uses a good app for rent payments -largely a family-based building, kind tenants overall -monthly exterminator (I barely have issues) -landlord was empathic and flexible during initial COVID chaos, yet my rent has still skyrocketed as I continue to search for a long term roommate Cons: Cons -some long-standing, entitled neighbors play music sporadically that is too loud (below me), which is rude and out of touch -the lobby and entrance area needs some TLC, it makes the building look sketch but it’s not -the elevator is good but often untidy -the rent could be lower for the size of my place in relation to other long-term tenants -no on-site COVID measures taken Advice to landlord: Please improve the lobby and entrance appearance and elevator cleanliness”
