“Pros: Pet friendly, large apartments with great views, quick action from maintenance staff Cons: Poor management (Feil), many broken appliances/apartment issues upon moving in, lost packages, broad mix of tenants, split between the very old rent stabilized and the much younger families Advice to landlord: Respond to your tenants who flag problems”
— 1533 YORK AVENUE · Manhattan“Pros: Lobby area was always clean. Staff is helpful. Big storage area for packages. Cons: The tenant of the apartment I was subleasing from was taking advantage of people and keeping their security deposits. But this isn’t a reflection on the building itself.”
— 1533 YORK AVENUE · Manhattan“Unit 10X Pros: Great management, great building workers. Just an amazing well run building. Cons: No amenities at all. Advice to landlord: Amenties”
— 1533 YORK AVENUE · Manhattan“Pros: 2 nice doorman Cons: Landlords are awful! 11% rent increase! No amenities whats so ever! They call this place the dorm cause it’s like moving back to college dorm room!”
“Pros: It looks good in photos on the internet, it’s down hill from there Cons: This building is putting lipstick on a pig. The plumbing, walls, the very infrastructure of the building is trash. After every move out, they re-finish the apartments, but the third time your experience waste water dripping down your walls, from the apartment above’s toilet , you stop caring about the subway tile backsplash in the kitchen. Advice to landlord: Umm rebuild the building ? Don’t have manic supers, that treat the staff like mafia soldiers . Doubtful anything will change”
