2 year stay
Pros
Topaz is a pretty established management firm it seems, so it’s relativity easy to get in contact with them and sort things out. Can be weird in the New York way of things, but ultimately fine. Location is great, rooftop is beautiful, and laundry (though a bit gross) in the basement. Felt safe and since we had an apartment at the back, was pretty quiet for an nyc apartment.
Cons
The super could be hard to get a hold of and was really unhelpful. Often made the problem worse instead of any better. Hallways are gross and rarely if ever cleaned, minus the ground floor which is cleaned semi frequently. Heating for roommates and neighbors sometimes did not to work, though it seems management has fixed this problem since the winter, at least in our unit.
Just say no
Pros
The downstairs stayed cool in the summer
Cons
Mouse infested Mail stollen Management unresponsive Flooding Dirty hallways and laundry room Laundry machines don't clean clothes
Advice to the owners
Sell the property to someone who cares because you don't.
