Decent Building in West Harlem
Pros
The building itself is a solid pre-war construction, newly refurbished appliances all work well and the steam heat is excellent during the winter. Some noise issues from the nearby police station and hospital but neighbor sound is rare. Relatively pest-free and the hallways are cleaned on a semi-regular basis.
Cons
Corporate management is nearly impossible to get a hold of and the maintenance team is overworked and underpaid, leading to a host of issues going unaddressed. Water pressure and temperature will cut out at random times with no clear resolution, and the same goes for heat. Messes, smells, and biohazards in the halls are common and infrequently addressed by the building team outside of monthly mopping.
Advice to the owners
Be more attentive to tenants and the maintenance team please.
