Great location, old building
Pros
Amazing location, great food and drink spots. Apartment size is good. Usually responsive to requests.
Cons
An old building. Neighbours always hang directly outside the building in large groups. Incredibly loud and inconvenient. Only one way in and out the building.
Advice to the owners
Clean up the building.
Avoid at all costs
Pros
Great location right on Vanderbilt, relatively quiet neighbors (at least in comparison to buildings I lived in when I lived in Manhattan.)
Cons
Not surprisingly, management will drag their feet forever on any fixes (including dangerous ones) unless a 311 report is submitted. At the same time if they’re interested in making a change, surprise, they do it quickly whether you agree or not. I’ve lived in NYC for 11 years and this management company is one of the worst for what you pay for.
Advice to the owners
People paying you rent are doing so in exchange for the apartment and the building management. Generally, it’s not a great business practice to treat the people paying you money as if they’re annoyances to be managed. At least pretend to care about what your tenants actually need.
