Nice enough building, wouldn't rent with Pine Management again
Pros
Great location near Central Park and the subway, as well as many restaurants and grocery stores. Building is nice enough and fairly clean.
Cons
Management does less than the bare minimum, is incredibly unresponsive, and is at times even rude. Despite this, they will charge you every chance they get, and will hike up your rent drastically every year.
Advice to the owners
Give a sh*t
Management is atrocious
Pros
Neighbors are wonderful for the most part, there’s a real sense of community in the building.
Cons
The management company is run by a bunch of idiot sociopaths. Think the Trump brothers but with less charm, if that’s even possible. I’ve always thought people were fundamentally good at heart until I dealt with these guys. They underpay their workers and hire agents barely out of college. They do the absolute bare minimum they can get away with when it comes to maintenance. Just genuinely horrible people. Also there are rent stabilized places in here, not sure why that’s not reflected. And it’s pet friendly so there’s that.
