Old building, new management sucks, lovely neighborhood
Former Tenant
Pros:
Neighborhood is awesome. Some of (c) openigloo the apartments finishings are nice.
Cons:
Apartment is small for the (c) openigloo money. New property management sucks. (c) openigloo We’re had a leak ongoing (c) openigloo for years and the old (c) openigloo management and new has dragged (c) openigloo feet on fixing it and (c) openigloo only patched it lightly not (c) openigloo identifying the source. There is (c) openigloo no effort from management to (c) openigloo be accommodating. New management didn’t (c) openigloo even respond about the leak (c) openigloo for 3 weeks. Only once (c) openigloo they started getting calls from (c) openigloo HPD at my request did (c) openigloo they start to address the (c) openigloo issue. Which again has still (c) openigloo not been fixed. When asked (c) openigloo about compensation or rent reduction (c) openigloo for this regular issue. They (c) openigloo referred us to the lease (c) openigloo that says we have to (c) openigloo deal with it ourselves. We (c) openigloo can’t fix the building ourselves (c) openigloo and have been living with (c) openigloo an HPD violation for years. (c) openigloo I wish these companies treated (c) openigloo their tenants like humans rather (c) openigloo than gaslighting and money grubbing.

Coachroaches & smelly staircase
Former Tenant
Pros:
You're right at the crossroads (c) openigloo of Chinatown and Little Italy. (c) openigloo Tons of good food. Everything (c) openigloo from truly delicious & cheap (c) openigloo Dim Sum to a fancy (c) openigloo Italian dinner within one block (c) openigloo radius.
Cons:
Tourists everywhere outside (and they (c) openigloo walk SO. SLOWLY.) You can (c) openigloo sometimes hear the noise from (c) openigloo tourists on Mulberry singing karaoke. (c) openigloo Oh, also, cockroaches in the (c) openigloo bathroom...
Advice to owner:
It's only worth it to live here if you REALLY REALLY love Chinese food / Dim Sum. Great eats for everyone's budget. (not so much the case for the Italian food)
