Location, unit was pretty renovated, i loved this building (at covid pricing.) not worth it for evil, exploitive management and new prices though.
Cons:
*update i heard paul passed away in south america from covid and he can rest in piss The landlord PAUL WINTER literally displaced us from our apartment by unknowingly scamming us. He showed up to our door with a contract and was extremely pushy and rude when we tried to ask questions. He lied and said they wanted to do renovations to the apartment - no such thing was done - he just wanted us out in order to raise the rent by 2x and get new people in. Other tenants have dogs but for some reason us having one well behaved one was a problem (because we lived with the owner, Guttman’s son, also Pauls nephew, who lived there for free as a nepo baby, and he complained about not wanting a dog there) We had Paul manually write in a moveout date for us (the 1st instead of a random day in the month), he then tossed that version of the lease and said we had to move on that random day. When we told him that he wrote our new day in - he said we were “making it up”, pretended like it never happened, and unfortunately we did it have photo evidence. DO NOT trust these men in management.
The neighbors were nice but mostly spoiled NYU students or recent grads whose parents are paying their rent (re: a lot of parties and vomitu deposited around the building)
Advice to owner:
Just because you are rich, entitled leeches on society who profit off the backs of others doesn’t mean you have the right to exploit and scam other people. Your karma will come for you someday
