Beautiful apartment, Horrific management
Former Tenant
Pros:
The unit itself is a beautiful brownstone with a backyard and laundry - a dream for NYC renters.
Cons:
The management was TERRIBLE. Stay way from any properties owned by Stuart or Grace Venner. Zero responsiveness, even when situations were dire. Very often a lack of hot water. At one point during an extremely cold winter storm,, we had no heat or hot water for over a month. Because of this, pipes froze and then burst, flooding our apartment. Management did not provide any compensation or pay for hotels while the unit was unliveable. We had to rally the other tenants to strike and get on local news in order to get a response from management. After these floods, we had persistent mold problems that were not adequately addresses. Shameful negligent slumlords.

Future tenants should be aware of this article about Stuart Venner who previously sold rent in exchange for sex with a mistress.
