Wonderful building, Great Neighbors
Former Tenant
Pros:
The building has a great layout and the entry is wonderful. Having an elevator and laundry in the building is a plus. The proximity to the A Line subway can’t be beat! New Super is helping to take care of issues quickly.
Cons:
There was an issue of packages being stolen from the lobby. After the Super was able to catch the person(s) on video, they filed a police report and took measures to secure the doors to the building.
The common areas need serious attention and improvement - peeling paint, poor lighting.

Advice to owner:
Olshan Properties - There is an opportunity to make this a jewel of a building in the neighborhood. The location is ideal. Do not ignore it.

Washington Heights Apartment
Former Tenant
Pros:
Decent building in Washington Heights. Building management has implemented some improvements. Location is near the A train, which is convenient. Building has laundry access.
Cons:
Would be better if there would be more renovations and improvements throughout the building as some areas are in need of repair and/or cleaning.
Advice to owner:
Consider offering improvements for existing tenants within their units.

Cons:
One major pipe burst/water issue
Work on the hot water/heating usually crops up. They do fix it but annoying when there's an issue and a few days in a row it's off in the middle of the day.
Kind of difficult about getting occupants added to the front door directory.
Package theft.

Great Renovated Apartments But..
Former Tenant
Pros:
Elevator
Nice neighbors
Great renovated spaces
Nice neighbors
Great renovated spaces
Cons:
Management makes new tenants pay $500 a month for a security call box, so the units end up being more than advertised/you should be charged. It's low key illegal
Advice to owner:
Remove the ridiculous charge

Hole in the ceiling
Former Tenant
Pros:
Huge units, awesome location
Cons:
Terrible maintenance. I had a hole in my ceiling that took months to fix.
Advice to owner:
The super needs more assistance and maintenance requests need to be fulfilled quicker.

Needs better management
Former Tenant
Pros:
The neighbors (for the most part) are great; friendly, kind, thoughtful. The halls are mopped every week, common areas are kept pretty clean
Cons:
Building management is horrendous. We have gone through 3 separate supers in less than 6 months. The one now is fine, but overall, it takes them forever to do work in the apartments. We had water dams for in our apartment from
an upstairs leak months ago. They started working on it 12/18/20 and they STILL haven’t finished the job. The efficiency is lacking.
The Elevator has also been out twice, both times around the holidays. The first time it took them over a week to get it repaired and we have a decent amount of elderly/handicapped tenants that RELY on that to get out of the building.

Advice to owner:
You have to stay on top of the management group or nothing will get done
