Reviews of 216 East 85 Street

Former tenant·just now

Loved living here

Pros

This is a no frills walk up but very well maintained, common areas always clean, trash always taken care of etc. Management very responsive. Lived here for 5 years with no issues.

Cons

No frills walk up. Video intercom stopped working our 4th year and management did not fix.

Garbage Always welcoming you as you enter the building

Pros

Great Super and responsive. He does what he can to manage the garbage situation. Building manage does not want to hire a private garbage removal company.

Cons

Garbage management is poor. There is insufficient storage for day to day waste. The street is always dirty.

Advice to the owners

Deal with the overwhelming garbage. It will help the turnover problem with supers and tenants and will make a much better work environment for the super. The super will have more time to deal with tenants—after all they are your life blood.
