Manhattan, NY 10009

Location - character - laundry in building - responsive landlord

Trash get full VERY fast and sometimes it flows into the halls

Great sunlight on the higher floors, elevator, common spaces kept pretty clean (though trash area got overrun often), laundry in building, unit was decently maintained.

I had pests and was told I needed to wait until the once-monthly pest management... which meant I was expected to live with mice for 3 and a half weeks. My dishwasher did not work once in the 2 years I lived here because I could never contact someone to fix it. Once I got locked IN my apartment because my front door handle broke and I could not get in contact with anyone to fix it. I had to call a locksmith who charged $400, which the management refused to refund me, even with a receipt that included a letter that stated the problem was due to poor maintenence and a faulty door handle. Many of my packages would get stolen because people would buzz anyone in, and when I asked management if they could possibly install a camera in the lobby, they told me that was not their responsibility. The management was terrible here and we had many supers over the 2 years I lived here. They would not tell you when there was a new super and it was almost impossible to get in contact with the supers or the management at any point. Also, I got stuck in the elevator probably 15 times over 2 years. Luckily, it could usually be fixed without calling someone.

Pick up the phone. Communicate with tenants. Do your job.
