    The Acropolis… a NY nightmare.
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Nothing. Dont move here. Seriously, do yourself a favor & save your money & most importantly, your peace of mind.
    Cons:
    Where to start? There’s bedbugs. Infestation of roaches. It is a nightmare of a building. The exterminators that work for the building dont do much. They come monthly, still got roaches.. still got bedbugs.

    Avoid at all costs
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Great location, nice high ceilings
    Cons:
    Absolutely horrible management. Rats scurrying around the trash area at all times. Avoid at all costs

    Acraplios must be avoid
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Cheap rent, good location
    Cons:
    Bugs, rats, broken things everywhere

    Don't bother, owners are crooks.
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Convenience to transportation and restaurants
    Cons:
    Property owner literally will not respond to you. Building management is better, but can't do everything for you, is hard to reach, and often requires a three-way communication with the owner, which as I said earlier is next to impossible.
    Advice to owner:
    Respond to your tenants like you're supposed to

    Terrible Property Manager/ Landlord
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Heat works well. Affordable. Good location.
    Cons:
    Landlord won’t fix a bad leak for 3 months now, still waiting. Landlord is 2 months late providing electronic lease as 1 tenant is abroad and is attempting to charge late fees.
    Advice to owner:
    Have respect for yourself as a professional and treat others accordingly. Take pride in your work. Be an adult.
