Bota Property Management LLC

Clean, quiet, reliable

Lack of community events

Do more community events :)

Great location, quiet neighborhood, part time doorman for a great price

Pests, management is pretty unprofessional, mice

Building was well-maintained, nice laundry room, elevators, trash rooms on every floor

Co-op building, so application process is very involved and you’re at the whim of the owner of the individual unit

Location, great doorman

Super is really difficult and doesn't fix anything

Be supportive of tenants

- Amazing, caring, personable doormen and staff
- Super responsive LL and super
- Amazing neighborhood and convenient location (4 min walk to Trader Joe's, right next to the park and river, etc)
- Relatively quiet block

- Neighbors usually quiet, but I had a next door neighbor begin construction with no advance notice. It was very loud and disruptive as I WFH and this went on for months and months. I did not receive compensation or any alternatives, just a "sorry" from the neighbor
- Occasional roach no matter how clean you are (could be unit-dependent, some of my neighbors report never seeing one)
- Hot water works about 80% of the time, monthly water shutdowns to maintain the pipes as it is an old prewar building

Management and people are great

Building is a little run down

Continue to invest to upgrade things

Location, attentive porters

Management company, rent increases
Babad management company is one of the worst in the city. Terribly mean (Einhorn) and they are on the already corrupt board. Everything done by Babad and the board here seems illegal and not in the best interest of the building

Location
Friendly neighbors

Doorman staff and super have been inconsistent

The building is in a great location with lots to do around. It is always clean and the trash is emptied daily. There are tons of washers/dryers in the building basement so you never have to wait for a turn to do laundry. Overall a great place to live.

It is in a busier area, so it is louder.

Amazing location with great transit access. The staff are wonderful and responsiveness, and the building is very clean.

14th St is extremely busy and without a lot of ambience. Location doesn't feel very neighborhood-y.

Great location, nice neighbors, doorman, nice views

Roaches, super isn’t great, property managers aren’t attentive

Great location, nice doormen, frequently maintained and managed

Some issues with bugs in the apartment on ground level, strict co-op board house rules and nosy neighbors

Very nice doormen

No amenities, Roach and mice problem. Also, you don't have to disclose in NY state when there is a murder in these apts but there are several. Namely apt 307 had a grisly murder

Disclose the rat problem & murders

- amazing staff. Everyone knows your name and they are the sweetest humans ever!
- very quiet neighbors!
- barely any bugs. We lived here for 2 years and saw a total of two bugs. Really amazing.

- frequent water fixes. HOWEVER, they are very quick about it!
- small apartment. A lot smaller than any pictures show. Good for one person or two people that really love each other lol

Keep the amazing staff tipped and happy!! They truly are so kind and amazing!

The location is great, you can't get better. And some of the units have big layouts for the West Village but you are are paying very high prices for it, there are no deals to be had here .

The apt units are owned by different owners and management companies. Battery City Management are the worse and all the reviews if you Google them are regarding these people; they are difficult and rude to deal with and are an overall nightmare. Every question and request is treated like a burden and you will be treated like a disposable POS. I would be careful in dealing with them as they are not trustworthy at all and just be overall wary if you decide to deal with their apts. The building itself if maintained at the absolute bare minimum, leaks, old paint and I'm just talking about the hallways. The elevators don't have a consistent maintenance schedule either which is very dangerous and the "security" is non existent (the people at the front are glorified package receivers, they are super polite but helping you is not their job).

Hire better people

The porters keep it clean every single morning and even spray down the sidewalk.

Einhorn sucks, the weekend doorman get really weird and crazy about packages for no reason. The heat stays on way past when it’s warm out ( or is randomly off when it’s cold) and our drain needs snaking every 2 weeks

Einhorn is quite possibly the worst person you will ever have to deal with. He is rude, unreasonable and arrogant. God bless all who rent from him

Doorman are very nice. Responsive owner of our unit

Broker in the building is very pushy and lied about certain things in our lease when trying to get us to sign

doormen, staff, amenities, location

slow movement of management

Staff and building are excellent

restaurant across the street is noisier than
you’d expect and scaffolding project has been going on forever so if you are sensitive to noise recommend a higher floor

Try and minimize noise through window replacement

The location is great, if you are on a higher floor the views of the city are great.

People in the building can be snobby, doormen were not particularly useful. Many apartments in need of updating.
