Harlington Realty CO LLC

Responsive super, well kept building, newly remodeled unit

Mosquitoes indoors, loud street

its kept really clean and the live in super is great

the management company kinda blows --- we had brutally noisy construction for 5 months as an apartment in the building was gutted and they didnt do anything and they also price the units too high and try to go up way too much every year

Close to subway

Pest issue - had roaches. Owner would not seal up appropriately, had to do it myself. Also tried to raise the rent ridiculously high after doing absolutely nothing

large units, responsive super, quiet neighbors

unresponsive management, packages stolen

Great storage, good management

We lived here for years before they have recently started prioritizing maximizing profits and renting to students/young professionals who treat the building like an extension of their college dorm room. Families and those who value peace and quiet, beware.

Prioritize current tenants

elevator, old NYC charm, great location, pretty new appliances

super is not great, there are lots of cracks that let in hot air in the summer, water is not good quality - need filters etc

adjustments on above cons

I loved living here for 2 years! This is a nice building with an elevator (no doorman). It’s in a great neighborhood and conveniently located right next to the Q station. The building is charming, clean & has kind/friendly residents. The package area is to the side of the lobby, which helps prevent theft. The apartment is very spacious, has tons of closet space, full sized appliances and lots of natural light in the bedrooms.

The laundry room in the basement only has 3 washers & 3 dryers. Often 1 will be out of service and takes a while to get repaired.

Picturesque walkway that leads into a charming prewar building with renovated lobby and hallways. Elevator and laundry in the building, new appliances, with a live-in super who stays on top of trash takeout and overall building maintenance. Have lived here 5+ years and the convenience of the location is a high note - steps from the Q and three blocks from the 6, Target on the corner, new Whole Foods down the block. Love being in between the East River and the Park.

Due to high demand price increases each lease (12mo). You do have to be aware of packages being delivered - since there is no doorman, anyone can try to get into the building and there have been instances of package theft.

Be kind and generous with the Super and he will take care of anything you need - hanging items, painting, plumbing. Enjoy the charm of this prewar building in UES!

Location is amazing. Great price for a 3 bed 2 bath. Neighbors really friendly

Sometimes too loud, especially if you face the garbage area. The super is doing stuff there until around 12AM

Clean, updated finishings

Very slow responses from management

Location, Location, Location

Laundry in the old basement. 1st floor heat deficiency.

Improve heat efficiency on 1st floor.

Nice amenities, very responsive super, loved the architecture of the building

Laundry room can get EXTREMELY busy during peak hours

Excellent superintendent. responsive, nice, understanding - all good. Building common areas are clean and seem to have been recently remodeled. Issues are addressed almost immediately by the super.

Building management does not answer the phone and does not respond to phone messages (I've made several calls to the person identified in my lease as the contact, and am yet to speak with them). They only communicate via email - usually one liners - which can be frustrating as it comes across as they really don't care. Also, there is no laundry in the building, and very few options other than expensive pick up / delivery services - major drawback.

Answer the phone. Return phone calls. Engage in a conversation with the tenants when asked a question.

- elevator
- no fee
- got full security deposit back
- dishwasher
- laundry in building
- I think the tenants are relatively respectful. personally mine and my roommate's packages never got stolen even though it just sits in front of the elevator, although I have met someone who constantly had her packages stolen
- location - close to the 6 subway
- quiet - able to get sleep in
- near target, trader joe's
- experienced no rats
- agent respected my no shoes policy for when open houses began near the end of my lease

- sunlight - pretty much non existent. the unit I was in faced other buildings, would only get a bit of sunlight in the summertime, for about an hour.
- super - non-responsive and no shows. calling seems to work better than texting, as usually my texts don't get responses. lots of times he'll say he'll stop by, but doesn't show up to the apartment at all. has also mentioned he'll follow up / come back with more tools to fix xyz, but does not come back. the only time he responded and acted on a complaint promptly was when my heater wasn't working, which might just be because 311 takes heat seriously considering how cold NYC gets. though the heater continuously was not working or only producing a small amount of heat. note this was just the heater in my room, all other heaters in the apartment were fine.
- pest control - exterminator is supposed to come once a month, which was consistent at one point but did not show up for a couple months near the end of my lease
- found a cockroach in my living room once, although it was already dead.. don't know how that happened

Super could be more attentive

Location was great, easy to get around, our unit had a backyard which was perfect for hosting

We had several mice in our unit, the building is old and the super seemed irritated with our requests.

Fix rodent problem

- Quiet
- Garbage room is clean
- Normal neighbours

- The super of the building almost never comes on time and will ghost you if the problem is not good enough

The location is near very good restaurants

The management company is not very responsive and the super was rude more times than not. Also, we had a 1st floor unit with a private outdoor space. Lot of bugs in the apartment and a mice problem toward the end of the lease.

Should get a better management company. They were rude and unresponsive.

in a safe area, friendly tenants, modern looking units, spacious for the price

laundry room is too small for the building

add laundry machines

Clean, quick and responsive live in super, well kept, quiet neighbors, nicely renovated apartments.

No cons with building itself. I face the front and it’s loud outside because of the post office.

balcony on every unit, and elevators

mouse always in the basement, supper is hard to reach when needing something done, and there is only 2 washer and dryers and one is always broken. keep increasing rent but not fixing the probems

fix basement, and stop increasing rent it doesnt match for what the building offers/ location
