Could be much better

Former Tenant

Pros:

Location: decent restaurants, very close to subway, relatively safe

Cons:

Noisy corporate tenants on ground level; superintendent is good but owners show very little care for the building; halfway house on block hosts homeless, drug addicts, alcoholics, and recently released inmates, all of which cause various issues; laundry units are shared with restaurants which leave food debris, washers don't clean well, dryers can't handle large loads; rent is about $100/sqft on annualized basis which is far too high, trash management is poor, space between buildings is absolutely filthy, stairway is smelly; windows are never cleaned; doors have large gaps that leak air; intercom is constantly broken.

Advice to owner:

Improve the units

Nice little walkup on a great block

Former Tenant

Pros:

Classic walkup, sturdy steps, good amount of windows

Cons:

There is a whistling sound in the winter coming from the roof. The heating isn't great, and it's an old walkup in general.

Great Units, Horrible Management

Former Tenant

Pros:

Units are large, painted bright white, nice hardwood floors. Semi-updated bathrooms. Multiple windows allowing for a lot of natural light. Street is full of restaurants, safe to live on.

Cons:

Management is horrendous.

Mice constantly in 5th floor walk up. Super avoided solving the mice problem, I decided to call an exterminator, and management wouldn’t pay for it. Turned against me and said I violated my lease. Ignored my phone calls and emails. Same thing happened again when I needed my locks changed/fixed. Called a locksmith and they refused reimbursement. Again calls and emails were ignored. Ended up filing with the small claims court since they were unwilling to settle things.

Super is hit or miss with solving problems in a timely manner. Was able to get a new stove quickly after my original one stopped working. However it took over 6 months to get a simple door sweep installed (which wasn’t there upon move in, and attributed to the mice issue).

Advice to owner:

Hire better management, overall, do better.
