4184 Broadway,

Manhattan, NY 10033

Our apartment is very open and spacious and gets tons of natural light. Is renovated and was very clean upon move in. The elevator is very nice to have and there is now laundry in the basement which has been so nice! The landlord is pretty responsive to issues and has them fixed fairly quickly so no complaints there. We haven’t had any problems with bugs or rodents and the exterminator comes once every month. The building did have its gas turned off for about a year due to a leak during which we were given a hot plate since our stove didn’t function. Management handled this situation pretty well though and gave everyone discounts on rent during this time and we just used a toaster oven as well. Overall we have enjoyed our time living here and understand that the rent was very reasonable for us so we sacrificed on some other things.

The super does not live in the building and never speaks English so for us there was a pretty severe language barrier. Some of the neighbors are pretty sketchy and we have had some very shady things go down on our floor that involves police raids, etc. Packages are stolen pretty consistently, we think from someone in the building and I don’t think all of the cameras the building installed are functional. The noise from the street and from Broadway has gotten pretty unbearable for us as there is always music blasting and the corner of 177 and Broadway is always bustling. We have run into a lot of issues where our bathroom leaks to the apartment below us and our tub is not functioning for baths, etc. the electricity seems a little shady as we are constantly tripping our breakers and various plugs lose electricity.
