Horrible Management and Super
Pros
The heat works and is appropriate in winter. Packages are safe so far. Close proximity to the park.
Cons
Either scorching hot water or no hot water, water bugs all the time, out of order laundry room, lazy & entitled doormen, rude and spiteful superintendents, unresponsive management.
Advice to the owners
Your union employees are lazy and entitled, especially those with seniority. If your wondering why your building received a D for energy efficiency, the AC is on full blast in the foyer and your doormen are cold so the front door is open all day & all night. You’re air conditioning NYC. Your management straight up ignores resident requests for help. Stop advertising laundry in the building when all of the machines are broken including the card machine for monetary refill: this is theft.
Roach Problems and Burnt Out Super, but Overall Great Location, People and Vibes
Pros
The neighbors Management is hit or miss, super likes to talk and doesn't do as much unless you pressure him, but the other staff is pretty great - they work as a team and keep each other accountable so that's fine. Haven for dog lovers Best location, great food, close to train and Trader Joe's, Central Park, etc. A walker's and commuters paradise. Great heating, never cold.
Cons
Unclean apartments, very lazy cleaning from staff before move-in Broken fixtures and lots of repairs needed; it's an old building with minimal renovations done. Roaches nests. Super seems hesitant to do the work and some of the staff has attitude when it comes to fixing problems, even if they improve living conditions. Staff needs to be more proactive.
Advice to the owners
Delay apartment move-ins until everything is checked as ready by the building manager. Everyone needs to be more proactive.
