Morningside Portfolio Management LLC

Nice apartment, built-in combo washer/dryer

garbage all the way outside below ground, doors not always locked/safe, super/management not very attentive

- Nice neighbors
- High ceilings
- Renovated
- Roof access
- No pests

- Loud, right next to the subway
- Staircase sometimes smells
- Management is not organized

Great super, can't say enough praise about him
Walls between apartments/rooms are super thick
nice balance of amenities

As with all prewar buildings the central heat can get a little wonky
windows aren't ideal (lot's of street noise, needed thick curtains to get good sleep)

Give the super a raise

- Apartment was newly renovated
- walls brushed
- looks modern,
- maintenance is really quick and friendly

- Overpriced
- Dirty common area (barely mopped)
- Not much light coming into the building
- Last month rent is free if rent for a year

- Short walk to 125th 1 subway stop.
- Close to a few good restaurants and bars.
- Bodega next door has good sandwiches and a cute cat.

- Radiators are so incredibly noisy that it’s impossible to sleep through the night, and the super refused to do anything about the problem.
- Half of the radiators spewed dirty brown liquid when turned on. The super came several times, and at no point was the issue fixed, meaning half of the radiators could not be turned on during the winter.
- There was a leak in the bathroom ceiling that was causing the wood to rot and mold. The super was contacted several times and several work orders were filed. Instead of addressing the leak and mold, the super plastered and painted over it. Inevitably, the leak would destroy the plaster and the mold would continue to grow. This happened several times, and the leak/mold remained unaddressed upon moving out.
- Upon move in, the cabinet underneath the bathroom sink was covered in mold.
- No ventilation fan in the bathroom.
- Dryer is incredibly inefficient and takes several cycles to dry clothes. It would also stop mid-cycle, displaying an error message. Clothes would come out still wet but smell burnt. The dryer would also release significant amounts of steam. Upon contacting property management about a potential blockage in the vent causing these issues, a maintenance man came, cleaned the dryer but not the vent, and left.
- No package receptacle in lobby, so packages were not secure.
- Living room window did not lock. After filing work orders, the property manager claimed they would send someone to fix it. It was never fixed.
- The real estate agent that manages the listing when the property goes on the market is incredibly unprofessional. After stating she would give 24 hours notice for every showing, she failed to give even 12 hours notice a few times. She showed up at the door completely unannounced once. She has poor communication skills, leaving tenants off of emails regarding showing notices.
- Upkeep of the stairs and lobby was not the best.
- Cockroaches.
- No AC.
- Front doorknob was not secure. The knob actually came off the spindle several times, and the super had to be asked multiple times to replace it.
- Noisy subway.
- No counter space in kitchen.
- Kitchen appliances are narrow. Standard sized baking sheets do not fit in the oven.
- Bathroom sink leaks and drains slowly.
- Mold in shower.
- Faulty light switch in bathroom.
- There are a few people who ask for money that frequent the area. Two of these men get very aggressive.

Communicate better with tenants and pay attention to building upkeep.

Super is super responsive and great, units have in laundry washer dryer, gym in basement

The heat is so hot, the winter feels like a sauna

Super and management were responsive
Security deposit returned on time
Apt was clean when we moved in
No rats and bugs in our apt
5 min from 1 train Hmart CVS Wedtside Market
Washer dryer in unit

It was pretty hot during the winter so we had to adjust the heater which sometimes shook and sputtered water if we had it all the way closed
My room faced wall so lack of light
A few of my roomies packages disappeared from the package room
As NYC is city of rats, two windows didn’t have built in filters - wish they did for better protection against rats
Dishwasher drain left by previous tenant a little yucky so we had to clean

Echo below review - the super Zanun is fantastic!

Nice neighbors
Working elevator
Decent location
Good place for students

Sometimes hard to reach super
Heat controlled by building and too hot/cold sometimes
Stolen packages
Rats in trash room

Keep garbage room/basement cleaner

Not loud, responsive super, nice lease renewal offer

Trash situation wasn’t great, landlords were very non responsive it was hard to get the security deposit back

Cheap, next to the subway, Columbia campus

Rat-infested street, building is in poor condition, some windows are constantly covered by scaffolding.

Location and apartment finished are great

Management is responsive

Access to parks and transit

Basement garbage room has rats

Address the rat problem in the basement

Dishwasher and Washer/Dryer in the Unit
Super is nice and responsive
Neighbours are not loud and annoying
Good value for money

Packages get stolen all the time- management has not been responsive
Pests- Recently have found everything from flies and cockroaches to mice in the apt. Had mice in the walls for the longest time

Be more proactive about the packages and pest+rodent control. Even as simple as spraying for bugs more often.

ALSO PLEASE CLEAN THE LOBBY ATLEAST ONCE A MONTH- IT'S DISGUSTING..

4th, 5th, and 6th floors had no pest problems, heat was always a good and consistent temperature, and the super was friendly as well as proactive and quickly reactive when having an issue.

The second floor and below had rats.

Clean up the basement level

It’s along Broadway and close to transit and restaurants.

The rooms are relatively small.

Address maintenance faster.

Near lots of restaurants, generally clean

The 1 goes by every 6 minutes

Clean, responsive management, live in super, elevator available.

Mail management system could be better and trash management system cleaner

Upgrade Mail management, update common areas, garbage room needs more upkeep and cleanliness.

Good condition, good location, W/D in unit

Really hot all year round (even in the winter), and if you have a bedroom facing the street the noise will drive you absolutely insane. The 1 train comes by frequently and it is LOUD. Combined with the street noise and sirens, I couldn't possibly take more than one year of it.

The rooms are also quite small.

the super is so so responsive

none really, sometimes the dryer doesn’t work

give Zanun a raise :)

Easy access to the 1 train, nice roof

The lobby and stairwells are not the cleanest

beautiful historical, washer and dryer, dishwasher, new appliances, central location

no owner / management responsiveness, faulty appliances with no repair
