do NOT rent from Arya Management
Pros
The neighbors of this building are wonderful -- we have a group chat for shared issues that we're having in the building, which largely revolve around how horrible building management is.
Cons
Arya Management is potentially one of the worst building management groups of NYC. They will intentionally not service maintenance requests, and are silently encourage package thefts from the building.

Pros
This location is a complex of six six-story buildings, three entrances, the nicer one being the one on Bronx Park East. It is conveniently located in terms of public transportation: the 2 line stops a couple blocks away while the 5 isn't far. Also, several bus lines plus an express bus service into the city all run nearby. Parking around here is a nightmare though. This complex has a laundry facility in the basement, albeit one; maintenance is done daily, but there are tenants that think nothing of littering. The area has become more commercialized in the last, say fifteen years or so.
Cons
Heating can be a bit of an issue, definitely not a regular problem at all, but the boiler reportedly has caused some issues, particularly at the start of the cold season. An occasional winter inconvenience, yes. Then it gets quite warm.
Advice to the owners
New owner, Progressive Management, has been hard to get a hold of since the beginning. Maintenance and the superintendent are very responsive though.
