    185 Leonard Review
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Nice units, good neighbors
    Cons:
    Management office difficult to work with
    Over 2 years ago
    New build - shoddy construction - unresponsive landlord
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Clean building, great neighbors, great outdoor space and gym, lounge area and rooftops! Laundry in the building.
    Cons:
    It was a new construction and shoddy build - we had water damage that was never rectified, we had issues with the apartment that management was totally unresponsive to - and they attempted to withhold our entire security deposit while in violation of NYC law until we threatened them with legal action
    Advice to owner:
    Be more responsive to tenants and do not withhold security deposits without inspection.

    2 Year Resident
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Amenities - Gym, laundry, courtyard, bike garage
    Tenets are nice
    Every room has its own A/C and heating unit
    Well maintained building
    All apartments have a balcony
    Cons:
    Exterior walkways are always trashed
    Packages get stolen - management hasn't offered any solution to help with the problem
    Advice to owner:
    Management is responsive, however getting something fixed takes a lot of back-and-forth.

    Good clean apartment - management is annoying
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The apartment is super clean - I’ve never seen a bug or mouse in the building. The gym is great and courtyard as well. So is the lounge.
    Cons:
    We have had some issues getting things fixed in the apartment. The super is extremely responsive and helpful but management is not. The emergency line is an answering service that never results in any action and we have had a long-term non emergency issue in our apartment that, despite over a dozen emails to management, has never been fixed.

    Laundry is expensive!

    Its also extremely overpriced for what it is. The walls are paper thin so if you live with roommates, beware of that.
    Advice to owner:
    Be more responsive.
