345 East 12 Street,

Manhattan, NY 10003

Everything outside the building - the location and the proximity to vital transportation, parks, markets, bars, restaurants, museums, nearby neighborhoods, cinemas, etc.

Too many to list.

Everything inside the building from rats, to roaches, to the terrible super who lets the building waste away. There’s homeless people who defecate on the stairs to the building. I see it more often than I care to admit. The rooftop has leaks. The scaffolding in the front of the facade has been up for 2 years because the owner has stopped paying workers. The floorboards are rotting. The hallways smell like garbage. The super is inept and unresponsive - the first week living here we didn’t have running water in the shower and it took 2 weeks to get it back. No discount on rent. We also didn’t have a refrigerator. The one we were supplied with was filled to the brim with a fierce mold infection. The super looked at me like I was crazy when I requested a new fridge. His response was “wipe it down with paper towels it’ll be fine”. Meanwhile the mold was so bad it was in places I couldn’t reach. I eventually had to purchase a new fridge out of pocket.

Packages get stolen often. I stopped ordering them here. The mailboxes don’t shut correctly. The doors are not up to fire code as they don’t shut properly. The doors have creases and cracks in them to let pests inside. There’s only 3 outlets in the apartment. The toilet runs constantly. The kitchen has a massive hole behind the oven. The oven doesn’t work. The shower was not waterproofed and leaked so badly into the kitchen below our unit that we had to leave our apartment for 3 days while it got repaired.

The owner is a degenerate slum lord who lets his building fall apart. He knows their will always be a steady supply of college students to fluctuate on year leases and he has no incentive to pay for the building repairs.

Jump in traffic.

Good location, good price

A piece on my window frame has been broken for 7 months, preventing me from locking it, and they still have not fixed it. I text my super about this regularly and he keeps saying he will check on it because management is supposed to send someone to fix it. It has been 7 months and no one has come. Same thing with our kitchen faucet, which has been leaking for 2 months.

Horrible roach problem in the last few weeks, it's getting worse by the day and management refuses to help. We signed up for the exterminator but when he supposedly came to our building he didn't come to our apartment. We've been asking for over a week now when the next time he's coming is because we really need him in our apartment, and they haven't responded. We had a rat 2 days ago and informed the super and management, still nothing. I called the maintenance line yesterday and it sends you to a person that takes a message and gives it to management. I was told they would call me back either yesterday or today, but they never called back. I have also emailed them multiple times, no response. There were 3 roaches in my dishwasher today. They still won't do anything about it.
