Unresponsive landlord, horrible super, rats, mice, hot water doesn't stay on
Pros
Location, location, location.
Cons
The landlord has to be chased down to get any repairs or work done. The super doesn't clean, especially the halls and stairs. The building has rats and mice because of this neglect. They are crappy at their job and do the bare minimum.
Advice to the owners
Listen to your tenants and get a super that cares about the building and does their job.
Horrible management & lack of care for tenants
Pros
Amazing location close to Chinatown, nolita and LES. Very spacious apartments with lots of light. Live in super who is amazing & attentive. No issues w pests at all. Would’ve stayed forever if it wasn’t for the cons
Cons
Property management company is horrible- lack of care for tenants. As a result of construction next door & across street the structural integrity of the building is not safe (see notices from DOB throughout building), and there’s cracks in walls now, doors won’t close bc floor is sloping, an more. There are currently multiple unaddressed DOB violations about this which they pretend they’re addressing—you can look on the DOB site for those. Did not feel like mgmt cared if the building collapsed on us. In addition to that, there are often people doing drugs on the stoop or passed out that you have to ask if you can get by. One time someone was passed out inside, has been human shit on the stoop multiple times too. During the winter the heat is BLASTING or not working. Roommates and I often kept windows open or AC on during winter bc it was unbearably hot.
Advice to the owners
Address the DOB violations legally and ensure tenants feel safe in the building—and that it IS safe to be there.
