Great Building - Greedy landlord (owner of several units in building)
Pros
Dr. Stergiopoulos' apartments in Sutton Place are kept well and the building staff are excellent. The doormen are friendly, great with kids and pets, and porters/maintenance staff are fantastic in keeping the building clean.
Cons
Unfortunately he is the typical money hungry New York landlord who will seek to charge you the maximum deductions from your security deposit knowing you don't have the time to go to housing court to defend yourself from small charges. His agent frequently scheduled tours with less than the legally required notice for new tenants. The management company takes very long in processing applications which makes planning for a move very difficult.
Not up to par for a doorman building
Pros
The doormen were courteous people.
Cons
My tap water was brown for the entire term of my lease. When running the water, it would come out brown from the kitchen sink about 25% of the time, making it unfit to drink. I submitted complaints to 311. They responded to the complaints that they flushed the main fire hydrants nearby, but the problem persisted. I assume it has more to do with old and rusty water pipes. The building has a clothes moths problem. They live in the air ducts and were resident to my unit. This problem was not fixed, addressed, or taken seriously by the landlord or management. I also complained about my extremely old AC/heater unit, which made very loud and disruptive sounds, keeping me awake at night. This was not addressed by management. Overall, it's also a loud area to live in, especially if you face 3rd avenue. I found that I was sleeping with ear plugs in most of the time considering the traffic noise and heater problems.
