Just don’t do it
Former Tenant
Pros:
Good water pressure when it works and it’s not brown.
Friendly doormen when they’re there.
Elevators when they’re not broken.
Cons:
Poor pest and bug control. Building constantly smells like stale urine (this is common knowledge amongst staff). The monopoly owner is borderline slumlord that doesn’t care and only employs family members (Google the family, it’s public knowledge). The heat and AC are always down and owner claims repairs are being done when they aren’t (don’t be fooled by heat and AC included). Water is shut down for 12 hours every other month for “cleaning.” Elevators are often broken. TLDR: avoid.
Advice to owner:
Be human and respect your tenants

The most confusing building in NYC
Former Tenant
Pros:
Dean! He is the best part of the building.
Cons:
I rent, but very confused about how/why the HOA could ever be this high - there are no amenities, elevators don't work well, the super is not responsive, and the doormen are kind but they do not announce guests/ let anyone in.

Overpriced, terrible everything, just don’t.
Former Tenant
Pros:
Dean (maintenance guy) is amazing, great guy and very helpful.
Water pressure is great
Cons:
- The elevators don’t work, which I guess is great if you’re into cardio
- Our floor constantly smells terrible to a point we’re embarrassed to have people over
- The washing machines and dryers randomly stop working so every round of laundry ends up taking 3-4 hours with between 3-5 visits to the laundry room.
- The doormen (except for one) just lay on the couch all day (we just call them “couchmen”)
- This dude on the 7th floor brought in a DRUM KIT, refused to stop playing it for weeks
- During the winter days, at least twice a week the HEAT BROKE, I work from home so I would sit indoors wearing a coat.
- Around once every two-three weeks the water break as well for 8-10 hours, good luck using the bathroom (theres a nice one on starbucks two blocks away)
- The rent is ridiculous, the maintenance fees are extremely high, I believe this is some money laundering scheme especially considering the above.
Advice to owner:
Sell it, but I doubt anyone would buy it for even 60% of the current price

Deceptively Nice Looking
Former Tenant
Pros:
Wide array of headline features, like a doorman, elevator, laundry room, central heating/cooling, etc.
Cons:
Poorly maintained building; regular heating/cooling outages, outdated bathrooms, dirty water from pipes, elevators regularly have issues, the list goes on... Few of these issues are apparent during an apartment viewing but become apparents a month after move in.
Advice to owner:
Fix your building instead of sending flyers asking if the tenants want a gym

so excited to move in
Former Tenant
Pros:
huge apartment. Its on 79 Street! Porters are excellent! Friendly staff.
Cons:
things were always breaking down. Elevator, heat, ac units didn't work properly especially in the bedroom. The rent increases were crazy!
Its a co-op but I was renting a sponsor unit.

Live somewhere else
Former Tenant
Pros:
The only good thing about this building is the free air conditioning and that you can control your heat too.
Cons:
The building is rundown, the elevators are extremely old and break, the building needs many repairs that they do not do. There are cockroaches (we had to tape some of our outlets to stop this). The hot water is unreliable sometimes. While the AC is free it does break occasionally (2-3 times per summer for a few days at a time). The owner of the building and staff are difficult to deal with. In the rentals they don’t put a coating over the hardwood floor so the wood finish comes up if you try to clean it with water or any liquid. There were 3-5 months this summer where they didn’t upkeep the mailboxes appropriately and the USPS refused to deliver so we had to go down to the post office to pick up our mail.
Advice to owner:
Maintain this building appropriately, it isn’t fair to the people who live here.
