Reviews of 2 West 16 Street

Former tenant·Over 2 years ago

Good location but terrible building

Pros

Great location but that’s it.

Cons

The land lord was very responsive. Given a number to call when moving in that was never answered and voicemails were rarely returned. Never received the security deposit or an explanation for this but this was in early 2020 during shutdown.

Advice to the owners

Use a management company.

DON'T LIVE HERE -POOR MANAGEMENT

Pros

Location - tall ceilings - location

Cons

Nothing is up to code There is no second exit in any apartment There was a fire in the building no fire alarms Inside front stairs are falling apart. Railing is unsafe. Definitely not up to code. VERY UNSAFE. The back stairway is very dark and unsafe. The building is filthy. Heat is controlled by the "super" it's always cold in the winter Very difficult to get the "super" to come fix things. Owner non-responsive cannot contact other than by email Appliances are very, very old and in ill repair. Packages get stolen on the daily. When they get stolen there is a video but the landlord will not do anything to secure the front door.

Fix the internal front stairs Secure the lobby Increase pest control Have the building cleaned
