Horrible Management Stay Away
Former Tenant
Pros:
Close to Central Park
Cons:
Mice, roaches, mosquitos, ants, pigeons (in window wells). Blood on front door and front hallway. Broken heat pipes that are incredibly loud. Missing light fixtures, light fixtures held by scotch tape, cracks everywhere, ceiling crumbling. Horrible landlord.
Advice to owner:
Find new management

Former Tenant
Pros:
Nice neighbors, quiet building, proximity to Central Park and west side highway, nice super and repairman (thanks Luis and Jaime❤️)
Cons:
Heat broke constantly all winter (ten times in January alone), cabinets fell off one by one, fridge broke, buzzer broke, oven broke, landlord does not fix things unless you harass him, landlord tries to say you broke things when nothing has been updated in decades, floors slanted and warped, mice infestation (we had to duct tape doors shut to sleep and there was poop in our drawers), neighbors taking landlord to court for security deposit and pest infestation, stove electrocuted me and it took weeks for landlord to fix
Advice to owner:
Stop gaslighting tenants and actually update things. Also stop trying to come into my apartment to pet my cat he doesn’t like you
