Overall good but management unresponsive
Former Tenant
Pros:
Nice apartments, great location, good (c) openigloo neighbors
Cons:
Management was pretty unresponsive.
Awful Management Company
Former Tenant
Pros:
Reasonable rent in great UES (c) openigloo location
Cons:
Management company was impossible to (c) openigloo get a hold of. Dealt (c) openigloo with a mouse issue for (c) openigloo several months without receiving assistance (c) openigloo or solution from management.
Great location apartment
Former Tenant
Pros:
Close to nyu, big, prefect (c) openigloo for hosting.
Cons:
1st and 1st if pretty (c) openigloo noisy and expensive
Mediocre Building, Great Location
Former Tenant
Pros:
The location is wonderful & (c) openigloo close to 3 different subway (c) openigloo lines! We’re on the 4th (c) openigloo floor and get a decent (c) openigloo amount of natural light.
Cons:
Our apartment had mice & (c) openigloo it took them 6 months (c) openigloo to resolve the issue. Management (c) openigloo is very unresponsive & out (c) openigloo dated. The only way to (c) openigloo reach them is by phone (c) openigloo & we have to mail (c) openigloo our rent checks (what is (c) openigloo this the 1900s). The radiators (c) openigloo are blasted all winter & (c) openigloo we’re forced to keep our (c) openigloo windows open. They raised our (c) openigloo rent by 25% last year (c) openigloo and then had the audacity (c) openigloo to claim it was due (c) openigloo to gas prices increasing. The (c) openigloo building is not kept very (c) openigloo tidy and is pretty grimy. (c) openigloo It’s an east village apartment (c) openigloo so expect lots of both (c) openigloo street noise as well as (c) openigloo tenant noise.
Mice & The Invisible Landlord
Former Tenant
Pros:
Good location, rent was never (c) openigloo raised drastically year over year
Cons:
While the super was always (c) openigloo difficult to hear back from (c) openigloo and the management company never (c) openigloo remembered anything and always had (c) openigloo a different person answer the (c) openigloo phone, it was worth it (c) openigloo for the price until we (c) openigloo had a mouse infestation. 6 (c) openigloo months of trying to take (c) openigloo care of pest control and (c) openigloo we never once got the (c) openigloo landlord directly on the phone. (c) openigloo I believe he was invisible, (c) openigloo they would always claim he’d (c) openigloo call or use him as (c) openigloo a threat but we’d never (c) openigloo hear from him. All communication (c) openigloo with the exterminator & responsibility (c) openigloo for the situation was put (c) openigloo on me and it was (c) openigloo never resolved. We ended up (c) openigloo giving a 60 day written (c) openigloo notice we were leaving only (c) openigloo to have them withhold our (c) openigloo security deposit two months later (c) openigloo claiming they didn’t know about (c) openigloo a mouse and that we (c) openigloo didn’t tell them we were (c) openigloo leaving or return the keys. (c) openigloo All lies. It was a (c) openigloo complete mess and my worst (c) openigloo rental experience of 5 years (c) openigloo & 3 buildings in the (c) openigloo city.
Advice to owner:
