Common complaints include poor cleanliness, persistent pest infestations, crumbling infrastructure, unreliable heating and water pressure, and frequent package thefts. Many tenants describe unresponsive or indifferent management and supers who are often unreachable or ineffective. While some properties offer appealing communal spaces like rooftops and laundry facilities, these positives are overshadowed by maintenance neglect and lack of timely issue resolution.

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.
