Reviews of 353 East 53 Street

Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

Great Spot, management awful

Pros

Beautiful units, updated kitchens, and love the floors! Especially love that the walls arent white like most rentals! Also can barely hear neighbors.

Cons

Edit: moved out 2 months ago and there was been 0 contact about my security deposit. Super and I both signed papers saying there was no damage so I should have it now. Will be taking Denise and whoever else to small claims if I don’t hear anything. The windows are trash. So drafty and I can hear literally everything outside.

Advice to the owners

Please replace windows they suck so bad and give me my money back
