Cleanliness and garbage management receive mixed feedback, with some tenants noting good conditions while others report pest issues and maintenance problems. Heating is frequently cited as inadequate, notably during winter.

Former Tenant
Pros:
Nice neighborhood and neighbors
Cons:
The super is really bad, not responsive at all. Bad maintenance of the building, no proper heating during the winter, everything is really cheap. Not subject to good cause eviction law, increases our rent by 18%!

Pretend Luxury Building
Former Tenant
Pros:
Location, neighbors are lovely, good apartment layout
Cons:
Management doesn't care - will raise the rent $800-1000 every lease renewal, laid off staff, cheap repairs if at all and major pest problem. Newly hired doorman lazy and incompetent. Elevators often broken down. The city is also adding bus lanes which will make pulling up to building a nightmare. Loud traffic across 96th St if you live in front of the building.
Advice to owner:
Actually make proper repairs, control the pest problem and make staff actually do their jobs.
