Good building but it's not worth the rental price
Pros
Near a lot of restaurants and bars They remodeled the lobby
Cons
They don't clean the common areas frecuently
Advice to the owners
The new super seems to hate his job
Miss the old management
Pros
This building was WONDERFUL under the old management, Paley. Of course there was the occasional fluke (it’s New York City, there’s no way around it), but the company was always responsive and helpful, and they hired great supers.
Cons
Since the new management, MD Squared Properties, took over earlier this year, this building has taken a downhill dive. The basement has filled with garbage and apparently tenant’s storage. They started construction unannounced and are often doing it illegally (without a permit/after hours). Property managers claim zero responsibility for the building if/when they eventually respond to your inquiry. They’ve kicked out all of the non-rent-controlled tenants to renovate perfectly habitable apartments and increase profit. Disgusting.
Advice to the owners
Take responsibility for your building and for the employees you’ve hired to work in this building. Listen and respond to your tenants. MANAGE your property. You’re a property management company.
