Get rid of the building manager

Former tenant·Over 2 years ago

Worst landlord I've had in NYC

Pros

Solid location at a reasonable price

Cons

Landlord is a liar and a cheat. Withholds security deposit from every tenant on fake charges that can easily be fought in court, but most people do not have the time to go fight him in court.
