Don’t live here!
Pros
The pros are that aesthetically it is pleasing on the interior and a good location but don’t be fooled. Everything else about this apartment is a living hell.
Cons
1) mice infestation. Mice problem never fixed 2) no heat- the vents were never functional and landlords left us without heat during 3 months of the coldest winter and didn’t offer space heaters until specifically asked a month in. 3) no place to dispose of garbage 4) hallways never cleaned by super 5) super enter apartment without notice all the time! 6) appliances no working. Dishwasher floated 3 times before they were replied back to our request to get it fixed or replaced 7) washer reeked of mold and dryer matted internally with lint. Had to take apart everything 8) broken handrail, toilet flusher, and toilet paper roller holder. Asked for it to be fixed before move in and nothing was ever fixed except flusher after 4 month was completely in functional at that point. 9) completely unreasonable management They don’t reply to emails, they leave you in unlivable conditions with no compassion. Finally fixed the heat 4 months later once we were in summer and mechanics told us they fixed in one morning/ afternoon but management was just being cheap and whole time trying to find a way out of paying to fix the job right and that’s why it wasn’t fixed for four months 10) after no heat all winter and mice infestation they credited us 6% of our rent and when attempting to negotiate they refused and acted purely arrogant.
Advice to the owners
Treat people fairly and with compassion. We lived comparably to a homeless person with mice everywhere and no heat and broken appliance with expectation to pay with a 6% discount. We spent more on product to medicate the problem ourself while you left us to bare these conditions for 4 months
Fine building, loud street noise onto bridge
Pros
Safe location Renovated with new appliances
Cons
The windows facing 59th street should be soundproofed, there are constantly trucks driving past and honking heading onto the bridge There are vermin but around what you would expect for the area No trash chute, so trash has to be left on the curb on a schedule Management co is pretty hands off
Advice to the owners
Soundproof street windows
