Former tenant·9 minutes ago

Worst management company and landlord

Pros

Zero. None of good part only worse situation you have to deal with. Stay away.

Cons

Super is horrible, no respond and told you wait in patience if things are not urgent. Pest control is a joke. Roaches and mice all over the building. Always smelly elevator. Intercom was out of service since Covid started. Package got stolen all the time. No heat and hot water. Loud noises neighbor. And you can’t get safety deposit back because you took too many garbage outside of the building.

Advice to the owners

Hire a better management company or everyone will move out.

Quit and calm but needs work

Pros

Laundry in building. Pets are allowed (no fee) Super is very friendly and respond in a timely manner if needed. Quiet. Nice neighborhood.

Cons

The garbage situation in the building is disgusting. Neighbors do not care about the cleanliness. This is the reason why there are pests. Slight mice problem in building. Cameras do not work in building. I've asked super about two different locations about the camera and he says it doesn't work. Heat sometimes doesn't work. NOT RENT STABILIZED. RENT GOES UP EVERY YEAR. THIS WAS NOT STATED UPON SIGNING LEASE.

Advice to the owners

You need to start citing fees for neighbors who aren't complying with the rules.
