Awful building - stay away
Former Tenant
Pros:
Close to central park
Cons:
Heat not included and most units only have electric heat so heating bill in the winter is expensive. Such a scam. Multiple packages have been stolen. Building not very clean- there is always trash sitting outside the trash chutes
Advice to owner:
Be more transparent about heating coats

Utilities are insane
Former Tenant
Pros:
Conveniently located to morningside park and the farmers market, garbage shoots and laundry in unit
Cons:
The utilities here cost as much as my rent. The apartment is freezing in the winter. Mini refrigerators are terrible and they could have fit a larger one. Tile floors made apartment colder

The honest truth
Former Tenant
Pros:
Great location and at least has a package room
Cons:
Heating system did not work whatsoever in winter, many pipes froze and burst in winter throughout the building because of insufficient heating + lack of insulation. This led to flooding, burst ceilings, no water for days. Roaches. Rats. Trash always scattered in front of building. Super, though lives on-site, is not there often so you'll have to wait around if it's an immediate need. Unit wasn't cleaned or properly cleared when we moved in or when repairs were done. Management is usually unresponsive.

Don’t live on the first floor
Former Tenant
Pros:
Cute building, centrally located near lots of shopping, parks, the subway and restaurants.
Cons:
When my electric bill was over $1000 for one month, I accused the super/owner of stealing power from me. They all assured me they were not and a month later my bill was down by more than half that price. I’m not stupid. I do not trust the people that run this building. They lied right to my face and told me I was the one wrong. The real estate agent even got involved and got nasty with my father.

It’s also insanely cold on the bottom floor, like I mean out door temps. Management doesn’t care and just tells you to turn the heat up. There is clearly some sort of scam here because their electric is so expensive!! (My new building, my electric&gas costs $80 a month, seven blocks away) Everyone treats the disposal area like the streets of nyc. It’s nasty and the super leaves passive aggressive signs all over the building.

In every bedroom of my apartment, a light fixture was broken. In some rooms two. My hallway lights would never work properly and would flash on and off sometimes

The tenants above me repeatedly had leaks that would leak into my kitchen from above.

Finally, I lived in a unit with a washer/dryer so because of it, my kitchen had no drawers
Advice to owner:
Listen to your tenants, fix whatever insulation problem or you will never have happy tenants. Get a better heating system.

Advice to owner:
Pls clean the hallways

Great apartments, not-so-great building
Former Tenant
Pros:
Newly renovated apartments and really well-priced. Never a single rat or roach in the apartment the whole time I lived there.
Cons:
The building is very smelly inside of all the hallways and there is clearly a pest problem because surrounding the building and in the hallways there are dozens of flies and other bugs at all times. I hold my breath whenever walking around. There are frequently rats at night but those are mostly around the sidewalk and that seems to be more of an NYC problem.
Advice to owner:
Manage the smell in and around the building. The apartments are beautiful inside but the building is dirty and unpleasant to live in.

You will freeze
Former Tenant
Pros:
Cheap, decent location
Cons:
on the first floor we could not get the heat over 60 degrees even when it was on full blast. heat is ELECTRIC and our bill was over $700 a month during the winter. for 55 degrees. Health hazard and SCAM as we were left without any options/help
Advice to owner:
fix the heat? stop being despicable? whatever I dont live there anymore. don't live here on the first floor.

Average apartment building- good in unit amenities
Former Tenant
Pros:
This building is an ideal location, generally clean. The appliances are not the newest but they work well. It is great to have both dishwasher and w/d in unit and the bathroom is great quality! This is the building highlight. Good water pressure.
Cons:
It takes a pretty long time to get response from the super. They did not fix issues that I pointed out upon move in. Unless it is a bigger issue (ex. problem with stove), they don’t really care to fix it. Absolute lack of closet space. The management was unable to provide any rent flexibility due to COVID. I had mice in my apartment right before I moved out. It took 3 days for the super to respond to my messages about this.
Advice to owner:
Please address the amount of time it takes for the super to respond and complete repairs. If you are inflexible on COVID circumstances, then please provide high quality service.

Quality building, slow repairs
Former Tenant
Pros:
- Quiet area
- Apartments are newly renovated and in good condition
- Heating, internet, water pressure never an issue
Cons:
- The super seems overworked- it takes months to get anything done.
- It took 3 months to get lightbulbs changed. I still haven't had other repairs reported 4 months ago completed yet even with regular follow-up.
- Trash regularly piles up
- The stairwells and common areas are dirty.
- The bike rack area isn't safe to store bikes, there's a hole in the top of the fence.
- Outdoor area patio needs renovation
- Landlords aren't supportive to people with changes in financial situation in these tough times
Advice to owner:
1. Be more responsive to repair requests. Your current super is great, he needs better support. 2. Stop trying to turn a profit on people who are financially struggling, especially in a pandemic. You already know your line of work is unethical- just try to make it less so?
