Reviews

Former tenant·2 minutes ago

Management is nonexistent

Pros

You have a roof over your head.

Cons

That roof is probably going to leak and create a mold problem. I once had a water leak through the light fixture in the bathroom. Another one in the bedroom that created a giant mold spot. Nothing will ever be repaired.

Former tenant·4 months ago

It’s A&E… what can you expect?

Pros

It’s decently priced and the super is nice.

Cons

Management is a nightmare.

Advice to the owners

There’s a reason A&E was listed as one of the worst management companies in NYC, and it shows.
