Management company takes advantage of renters
Pros
Large size apartments, but this building should not be classified as a luxury rental.
Cons
High rent increases, homeless people always sleeping around the building, garbage always on the streets it’s never clean, and for the price it should be better maintained, management doesn’t care about your good tenancy they only care about money. Scaffolding has been up for several years with no date in site as to when it will be removed while no work is being done on the property. And also several vacant apartments that they do not fix up because they are likely rent stabilized so the keep them off the market. Management is the worse would not recommend at all.
Exploitative Management Practices
Pros
I liked my apartment. It was spacious and conveniently located
Cons
The building management is horrid. Withheld significant amounts of money for cleaning fee (despite us sending videos of how clean the apartment was) and was threatened us with eviction numerous times for arbitrary rules we broke (no furniture through the lobby, throwing out bulky items, guests staying in the apartment, etc.) I feel so lucky to not live in this building anymore. Matthew Goldberg is slimy and I am so grateful to not have to deal with him ever again.
Advice to the owners
