Reviews of 5 Cornelia Street

Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

Solid management, safe

Pros

Great location, friendly super, safe building

Cons

I had issues with the heat during one winter I lived there

Former tenant·Over 2 years ago

Terrible would not recommend

Pros

Location is the only thing I can think of. Ramiro the superintendent is very nice.

Cons

No gas, landlord is unwilling to help in general, management lady Jaime you have to hunt down before getting a response and she is one of the rudest people I’ve ever met, no hot water, infested with roaches and mice. The building had no gas for 7 months and Jaime would ignore emails and if you asked for any type of compensation she would politely tell you to screw off. Neighbors are atrocious. The staircase is falling apart. Anything that’s wrong with the building she will blame on you. List goes on. Jaime is likely going to harass you. Shame on Tom Salzano at Compass for allowing anyone to move into this building and raving about how great it is. Everyone moved out of this building, mostly because of management, except for the tenants downstairs who have a rent stabilized unit.

Advice to the owners

Be nicer to your tenants and willing to help. My advice to Rosar property owner would be to replace Jaime with someone else who can keep their tenants around.
