Mngt, building a nightmare
Former Tenant
Pros:
location, new super is an improvement
Cons:
Barely passable. Chronic building issues, unresponsive management - it’s a fight to get any relief. Repairs delayed weeks or months, or ignored altogether.
Advice to owner:
Communication !!!!

Beautiful West Villagd building, horribly managed
Former Tenant
Pros:
The apartment units themselves are super nice for the price and the location. Nice neighbors who look out for one another.
Cons:
The management is poor with responding to small problems (lights that need changed, outlets that don’t work). Even bigger issues get completely ignored. Almost unreachable management - I feel ghosted. The retail space under us is a cigar bar and it smells really bad in units for some people and awful in the hallways. Heat basically doesn’t work.
Advice to owner:
If you’re going to own an apartment building, be attentive not MIA.

Cozy building in great location
Former Tenant
Pros:
Loved our apartment with low townhomes next door so it felt open. Some neighbors were fine while younger people moving in tended to be loud. There are a lot of rent controlled people in the building who try to rope you in to things to fight the landlord against, we chose to just not involve ourselves in that since we were renting. The super was easy enough to get a hold of when needed, we never had any issue with him.
Cons:
The heat works sporadically. When you want it to work it doesn’t and when you don’t want it to work it does. Noise also travels in the building when there are people having parties mainly. Also the property management company is impossible to get in touch with.

Always smells like cigar smoke
Former Tenant
Pros:
Good area and friendly neighbors who band together when there’s an issue with the building.
Cons:
It’s right above a cigar bar that stays open late, so the entrance and first floor apartments will always smell like cigar smoke. Plus, first floor apartments will hear music until around 2 a.m. Also, the landlords were extremely slow to respond during the lease renewal process.

Great location but incommunicative super
Former Tenant
Pros:
Good sized apartments at a great location, few to no experiences with pests or crime
Cons:
It’s really difficult to get ahold of the super or building management, no security cameras (packages have been stolen)
Advice to owner:
Put in security cameras

Band Aid Solutions, Rickety Building
Former Tenant
Pros:
Location. Residents put packages outside of each other’s doors to deter hallway theft.
Cons:
The building smells like smoke at night because of how the cigar bar on the ground floor is ventilated. Everything here is done as cheaply as possible. Which leads to ongoing, systemic building issues. Security cameras installed but do not work.
Advice to owner:
Your maintenance people are spread too thin across too many buildings. Per NYC law you need to have one dedicated and on site.

No owner accountability or oversight
Former Tenant
Pros:
great location, good size windows and natural light
Cons:
terrible hallway and common area maintenance, owner/landlord is incredibly unresponsive to immediate issues, very little communication to tenants about building issues (ex: found out about a boiler replacement once the heat and hot water had already been shut off)
Advice to owner:
Invest in building appearance (fix hallway lighting issues, sweep the floors, fresh coat of paint to cover dirt and scratches), address ongoing issues with outdated intercom systems
