Great Neighbor vibe ABHORANT management Company
Former Tenant
Pros:
Everyone is so friendly and nice. All the neighbors say hello and are up for a chat. A lot of them have been there for their whole lives and they are super interesting. It also has two elevators, is rent stabilized and the at least my apartment is massive. It also is an incredible location. I never want to leave but I probably have to soon but that’s due to my roommate not the building. I would endure the bad for the price, size, and location.
Cons:
The management company is garbage. Extremely slow to respond. And borderline negligent. We’ve had roaches, mice and major water leaks on the facade and in the building. The older I renovated apartments leak the worst. One bathroom ceiling collapsed this year and caused issues in several other apartments. They let leaks and issues go in for days and only act when you make repeated calls to 311 and they don’t make it easy to have any sort of paper trail for communication. The front door lock is broken often. Packages are sometimes stolen. They are also just sketchy as hell and are clearly actively trying to push out older neighbors who have been there all their lives. They also have squashed several attempts at the tenants organizing. Also the super is SUPER misogynistic. He talks down to and tries to gaslight women residents especially and refuses to use google translate to facilitate communication. He also always says he will get to it tomorrow to later today (whatever it may be) and only does so maybe 25% of the time.
Advice to owner:
What can you say to a monolithic company that doesn’t care about their tenants and only want money and to do the bare minimum. They should be ashamed of the predatory and exploitative practices but they clearly aren’t since they have already been sued by the AG at least once.

Airbnb: Great Place But Must Be Not Allowed
Former Tenant
Pros:
I rented this place via Airbnb and it’s a very satisfactory place to live. Good water pressure, no bugs, no rodents, no noise, and a pretty big place for the price I rented it at. If I recall correctly, I was in a 2-bedroom with a 800sq ft+ living room and decent sized kitchen (not a kitchenette). However, this is a review for living here in 2017. Please look at more recent reviews to determine the quality of living.
Cons:
However, like the other tenant review said, the management must be horrible because when I Airbnbed here, I was met with quite the hostility. I can’t provide any accurate reasoning but the neighbors really didn’t like seeing a stranger (me) suddenly going in and out of the apartment. I’m assuming Airbnbing should not be allowed since I was also told by the host to act like I was a visiting “friend.” (I didn’t know the host at all.)
Advice to owner:
With all of this Airbnb craze, management should really consider whether they’ll allow units be placed on Airbnb and set clear rules on the lease. I’ve felt so misplaced, uncomfortable, and even like a criminal for Airbnbing so many times because it’s obvious the apartments shouldn’t be rented out in this way. For me to have to lie as a guest is just bewildering, and the neighbors obviously know what’s up to see a different face live in the unit next to you every week. They’re not happy.
