Cons
Let me tell you a fun story as an illustration of the one of many many many issues with this building: An apartment on the top floor had difficulty with her gas stove, smelled gas. Did the natural thing and called Con Ed. Con Ed shows up, goes to the basement to see what the issue might be and immediately shuts down the gas to the building and padlocks it. Turns out the landlord did illegal GAS repairs that were dangerous to the building. Landlord response: threatens and freaks out at tenant who called Con Ed and not them first (presumably because they knew the gas repairs were dangerous and illegal), instead of fixing the gas, they decide it will be cheaper to run new electrical lines into every apartment and give us electric stoves. The repair took weeks and we all lived with no stoves except the electric plug in camp fire stove we bought ourself and deducted from rent. This and 900 other stories on NYC’s worst landlords, living in a Manhattan slum. From mice and cockroaches, to poor repair jobs, constant leaks, a heat system that runs on oil and periodically shuts off in the dead of winter, to mold everywhere, this may be the worst apartment building in Manhattan.
Advice to the owners
Be better in every way possible.
