576 Main Street,

Manhattan, NY 10044

Kid friendly neighborhood, great school

Dirty (carpets never washed, dogs urinating everywhere, people tossing random trash in hallway), Smoke smell through building with management not enforcing own smoke free policy and requiring all to sign riders, security questionable with front door lock always broken and packages stolen (with management saying it is out of their hands and to call PSD, who only take info but do nothing...don't even check cameras). Near future will be submitted electricity, increasing monthly bills.

Enforce your own non smoking policies and do something about that front door. You have cameras but don't do anything when crime occurs...so what's the point?

Most of the buildings are interconnected so you can walk through, out of the elements to the end. Covered sidewalks. Easy access to library at end. Building for the most part is quiet. Three bus stops heading east right by building. There is community room with water views, a gym, a playroom, of some included amenities. Utilities are all included with rent. Units are incased in concrete, so in case of fire, and there have been many, it usually stays contained to unit. Rents are slightly lower than mainland Manhattan, even though we are considered apart of Manhattan. Units are spacious. Large Windows in most units allow for natural light. My kitchen is an eat-in, and there is a dishwasher, stove with many features, including an air fryer feature, there's a microwave and refrigerator, all stainless steel. Stone countertops and walls behind sink and stove.

Front doors are constantly tampered with by some tenants allowing anyone in. Elevators are risky and need replacement . All stairwells smell of urine and stairs are rusty, rusted through, crumbling, or dodgy. All laundry facilities are old and machines frequently break and laundry rooms are frequently closed for bandaid repairs and are frequently closed. Laundry rooms when open, now close at 10pm, due to problem tenants. Some tenants are disgusting and so are some home health aides, when it comes to disposal room. Landlord is currently trying to submeter complex to force tenants to pay utilities separately. Building exterior pathways need work from settling. Poorly renovated apartments, bad wiring, frequent electrical problems including fires. Poor unit storage, my unit has only three closets, one shoved under stairs. Not adequate, upgraded electrical outlets every six feet. Definitely, old, outlets are far from the next. Can lead to risky behavior with some tenants, who aren't as responsible or bright. Inadequate heating. Landlord controls thermostat, it is intentionally off, and resets to lower temperature. Room thermometer proves it's intentionally off. Landlord says it's 74°F in unit, room thermometer says it's 66°F. You wake up with sinus pain breathing in cool dry air. Set thermostat to 74°F and it clicks and resets to 70°F. The time on thermostat changes, also, to try and force lower temperature. Cabinet space in kitchen is horrible, my unit has only one drawer. Dismal counter space. Constant issues with hot water in kitchen. Gaps between floors and walls, I have caulked, water bugs used to venture in, covered dirty dusty vent in bathroom, Daddy Long legs would crawl in from vent, plus covers up most of cigarette smell from residents smoking in their bathrooms. Entry system is silly, you get a fob, key or app on phone. No backup. They don't want none tenant to get access. So no Home health aides or relatives with front door access. Due to some residents hanging in front, smoking, including marijuana, playing loud music and being a nuisance, they banged up benches in front under atriums. So the elderly, there are many, who used to sit and rest as they made way with groceries are leaning up against walls. It's sad. That was not a correct solution. I would have put planters on concrete benches in spots. It would have looked like a nice garden. There are small wooden benches. Not adequate. The young children from the Mosque have to balance their meals after Eid while two women can sit and everyone else stand. This was a dumb action by landlord. They give to troublemakers, like a parent dealing with a spoiled brat. "Now, no one gets anything," type of solutions. They still hang out there, now they stand, or go by side steps of school and smoke and drink and leave their garbage behind, or smoke in stairwells. Their noise and smell of their cigarettes and marijuana get into your units.

This management is good, but if you need most anything from main office, they are unresponsive. Very difficult to get in touch with some departments. There needs to be communication. Stop the frivolous lawsuits of evictions.

gym available in building and co working space
lots of room

roaches - 15 found per week
management doesn't seem to care
knowingly rented out the unit despite previous renters abandoning lease midway
poor heating
fire hazard from lack of theromostat in one of the bedrooms
leaking, water damage and mold

better pest management

Good location and good sized apartments compared to UES

Cockroach infestations in communal which management do NOTHING about, dog pee in elevators which takes days to be cleaned up, regular water issues, crime in building (including shootings!), dishonest neighbors that steal packages, noisy elevators, a gym that's already in disrepair.

Actually manage the building and fix the attitude of your staff.

I loved the location, the apartment was larger than anything I saw on the market far below what market price was. The unit had been recently renovated so it felt like a brand new, modern space when we moved in and we really enjoyed having access to an in-building laundry room, in-unit dishwasher, and in-building fitness center. The coworking space is very well maintained as well and usually very quiet for WFH.

The insulation of the building leaves much to be desired. We were blasting the AC in the summer to keep the apartment from reach 80 degrees and using multiple space heaters in the winter the keep it close to 65. Management is not very responsive and required numerous follow ups to fix mundane issues (flooding from dishwasher under sink, broken microwave, clogged drains). Renewing our lease was a pain because it took months for the leasing office to respond to our emails and calls so be prepared to follow up like its your job.

Hire more people to respond to tenant inquires. Don't implement submetering without fixing the insulation issues in ALL units first. Respond to reports of roaches in unit with promptness.

An incredible view, amazing location, easy commute

Management is horribly unresponsive, rude, and have hours that no working adult can attend. Units are poorly maintained and have reoccurring problems that won’t get fixed. Price is high for the quality of the apartments

Respond to residents in a timely matter and maintain your property

Nice views
Safe area

No transportation off the island
Unresponsive management
Expensive
Facilities always broken
Loitering

Quicker response time + no rent spike until transportation is guaranteed

- Relatively spacious apartments for rental prices asked
- Management responsive but very very slow
- Good location relatively to transport
- Air conditioned units

Corcoran real estate continuously lie to get people to lease to this building

- If you see an apartment and they tell you they will renovate it by the time you are in etc etc ... do not believe them, they will not do it, what you see is what you get. Wish I had known this and I would not have rented here.

- They advertise gym as an amenity yet gym hasn't been available for over a year

- Laundry machines have to be paid for and laundry rooms are constantly dirty.

- Building is more often than not in pretty unkept condition but that I don't blame on the management I feel it's everyones responsibility to contribute to the cleanliness of the building

- Cockroach problem is never ending in all refuse rooms as well as apartments

- No range hood above the stove so if you are frying alarms will be going off, of course in the summer you can open the windows but that's not so comfortable in the winter

Had I known all this I would have chosen to live elsewhere so I feel that people will appreciate this information.

I would advise the property owner to communicate realistic expectations and be transparent with tenants and prospective tenants.

I would also advise that they hire people that will support them to keep their projects on track in order to improve their credibility and reputation.

Great location in RI, lots of delis

Overcrowded and limited elevator access

The apartments are newly renovated and nice size. Also well priced

The management is really hard to get hold of. The apartment was not clean when we moved in, water pressure is not great.

Be more responsive to needs of tenants
