good location. mix of different (c) openigloo neighbors while i was living (c) openigloo here, some were tenants that (c) openigloo had probably been living in (c) openigloo the building for years and (c) openigloo others were younger and recently (c) openigloo moved to new york.

building was terribly managed and (c) openigloo units are generally pretty small. (c) openigloo front facade of building was (c) openigloo falling apart when i was (c) openigloo living here and everyone had (c) openigloo to be evacuated. inspectors came (c) openigloo in and found so many (c) openigloo other violations that delayed our (c) openigloo ability to come back into (c) openigloo the building. very bad pest (c) openigloo problems. trash room was terribly (c) openigloo managed.

take better care of the building

Good location and it was (c) openigloo a no fee apartment

We’ve had many issues with (c) openigloo security. Our packages were getting (c) openigloo stolen. We were locked inside (c) openigloo the building. Gas leaks during (c) openigloo the winter. No hot water (c) openigloo for a month.

Better management

Location is incredible being in (c) openigloo the EV on the cusp (c) openigloo of LES and Bowery. 12 (c) openigloo foot ceilings with tin tile (c) openigloo and crown molding. Beautiful exposed (c) openigloo brick. Heat is paid for (c) openigloo by mgmt. Trash is taken (c) openigloo out daily. Building residents are (c) openigloo quiet and respectful. Large bedrooms (c) openigloo for the EV. Beautiful large (c) openigloo 7 foot tall windows if (c) openigloo you are facing the north.

Management responses to maintenance requests (c) openigloo are half-assed and never followed (c) openigloo through. I have spoken more (c) openigloo with other members in the (c) openigloo office versus the actual property (c) openigloo manager, Jay. Filthy apartment upon (c) openigloo move-in. I had to "fight" (c) openigloo to get it cleaned. Broken (c) openigloo fridge. Dual front-load W/D disgustingly (c) openigloo moldy upon move-in - we (c) openigloo spent lots of money to (c) openigloo attempt to fix the issue (c) openigloo to no avail. It has (c) openigloo not been fixed by them (c) openigloo after 3 months of this (c) openigloo issue being raised multiple times (c) openigloo - rendering it unusable. It (c) openigloo is now just a giant (c) openigloo piece of junk taking up (c) openigloo a lot of closet space. (c) openigloo Because heat is managed by (c) openigloo the owners - it can (c) openigloo get quite toasty on warmer (c) openigloo winter/spring days before they shut (c) openigloo it off in late April. It (c) openigloo is above an Italian restaurant (c) openigloo + a comedy club and (c) openigloo next to a bar, so (c) openigloo there can be noise from (c) openigloo them... but it isn't too (c) openigloo glaringly bad. This is more (c) openigloo prevalent in the second floor (c) openigloo units.

New appliances in some units

4 units had bed bugs. (c) openigloo Pests/rodents are an issue, maintenance (c) openigloo used to be reliable but (c) openigloo are now non-existent

Absolutely love the interior design. (c) openigloo Beautiful brick, and wooden walls (c) openigloo with barn-style doors. Huge windows (c) openigloo with lots of sunlight, and (c) openigloo clever storage spaces built in. (c) openigloo Most units have dishwasher and (c) openigloo nice appliances.

The management of this building (c) openigloo is extremely high turn over (c) openigloo - I’ve seen 3 companies (c) openigloo in 3 years. Within the (c) openigloo last year the place has (c) openigloo become rat infested, frequently covered (c) openigloo in trash, and falling apart. (c) openigloo As of March 1 2023 (c) openigloo the building has had a (c) openigloo full vacate order due to (c) openigloo the facade crumbling off the (c) openigloo front of the building. During (c) openigloo said vacate order, the built (c) openigloo was left unsecured and was (c) openigloo burglarized. Other issues include extremely (c) openigloo slow-to-heat water (I typically have (c) openigloo to give shower 10 min (c) openigloo to warm up). FDNY declared (c) openigloo the boiler “disgusting” and it (c) openigloo frequently gets shut down for (c) openigloo repairs. The mail room has (c) openigloo frequent package thieves. The back (c) openigloo door that leads to recycling (c) openigloo area / alleyway has NEVER (c) openigloo been able to shut in (c) openigloo the several years I’ve lived (c) openigloo here. Hence, rat infestation. The (c) openigloo units are very small. 1 (c) openigloo beds are maximum 300 sq (c) openigloo ft and seem to be (c) openigloo studios that they stuck flex (c) openigloo walls in. Some of the (c) openigloo 2 beds’ smaller rooms are (c) openigloo the size of literally just (c) openigloo a bed. It is uncomfortable (c) openigloo having guests over as it (c) openigloo immediately feels cramped.

REPAIR YOUR BUILDING, KEEP IT CLEAN, AND SECURE YOUR ENTRANCES.

The area is undoubtedly historic (c) openigloo and neighbors are more than (c) openigloo kind.

The big overview: this place (c) openigloo presents itself as a cute, (c) openigloo recently renovated apartment but is (c) openigloo in fact downright dangerous - (c) openigloo left to fall apart in (c) openigloo the hopes that some rich (c) openigloo person will sweep them off (c) openigloo their feet and buy it! (c) openigloo Rats have chewed through walls (c) openigloo and forced an opening through (c) openigloo the backdoor, packages have been (c) openigloo stolen, non-apt dwellers have shat (c) openigloo in the common area, the (c) openigloo building has 20-years worth of (c) openigloo boiler violations and the best (c) openigloo they'll do is just turn (c) openigloo it back on if FDNY (c) openigloo turns it off and pay (c) openigloo a fine, the fire escape (c) openigloo isn't up to code with (c) openigloo rusted and missing steps, heat (c) openigloo and hot water unreliable in (c) openigloo the winter, weird smells EVERYWHERE... (c) openigloo And if you're thinking "I (c) openigloo can fix her!" you're *wrong*; (c) openigloo management is equally bad and (c) openigloo you'll have to rely on (c) openigloo a paper trail or else (c) openigloo they will gaslight you and (c) openigloo delete records. Do yourself a (c) openigloo favor and look elsewhere.

natural sunlight I guess

EVERYTHING ELSE. Where do I (c) openigloo begin? Rat infestation. Cockroach infestation. (c) openigloo Front and back doors would (c) openigloo occasionally lock. Homeless constantly breaking (c) openigloo in. Feces in Mailroom. Stolen (c) openigloo packages. Did I mention the (c) openigloo front facade of the building (c) openigloo is currently collapsing. Management does (c) openigloo not care one bit.

Maybe be a little less negligent?

I have a dishwasher, natural (c) openigloo light and a large fridge.

-Rats controlling the trash room (c) openigloo and complex / chasing you (c) openigloo up the stairs - Management (c) openigloo blocking numbers when concerns are (c) openigloo happening -Had no Heat for (c) openigloo 3 days in the coldest (c) openigloo part of January -Homeless coming into (c) openigloo the building and defecating on (c) openigloo the walls and mailboxes - (c) openigloo Mice in the apartment -Strangers (c) openigloo from the street coming into (c) openigloo the building and stealing packages (c) openigloo / especially ones that they (c) openigloo know what brand they are (c) openigloo by the packing. -Mailboxes being (c) openigloo ripped open and rummaged through (c) openigloo -Key wasn’t working downstairs and (c) openigloo couldn’t access building for couple (c) openigloo hours -Façade of building falling off. (c) openigloo -Building had to be vacated (c) openigloo -Didn't put tenants into hotel (c) openigloo even tho its due to (c) openigloo poor matinence.

Get a new career and change management all together.

Seemed cozy enough

A lot of foot traffic (c) openigloo around the area

Great location, the cleaning company (c) openigloo hired by management does a (c) openigloo great job keeping it clean (c) openigloo and has an exterminator come (c) openigloo often.

Management takes forever to respond, (c) openigloo if they respond at all. (c) openigloo The specific guy who manages (c) openigloo the building named Jay is (c) openigloo rude, disrespectful, and doesn’t communicate (c) openigloo at all. Literally the worst.

Get a new property manager or replace Jay.
