Solid Apartment in the best location
Pros
I've lived here 2 years and loved it. Never had issues, especially excited about no bug or stolen package issues that happen in old buildings sometimes. The super's family lives in building and they clean the hallways multiple times a week. Management is solid, only minimal rent increases every year. It's the BEST location, right next to soho, noho, WV, and Greenwich village. If you love bagels, this is the best block with Leon's and pop up bagels and every morning there are crowds getting bagels on the street.
Cons
The building is old and the finishes aren't amazing. The heat is hard to control, but that's any old building in nyc. If you live in the back apt, sometimes you can hear the outdoor bar in the back a
Advice to the owners
Potentially upgrade finishes, but otherwise keep it up
great super, responsive management, but shady rental practices
Pros
Super and family are so kind! On the occasion that we found a couple of mice, maintenance responded very quickly and thoroughly.
Cons
our unit was turned over to us incredibly dirty. They also clearly were listing a 2 bed with a fully enclosed windowless living room as an illegal 3 bedroom multiple times. They also are purposely unclear about times/places when trash can be left out during move-out periods so as to charge tenants fines for improper disposal. They also raised the rent wildly high to essentially get us to pay to stay, but we called their bluff--the unit in an incredibly desirable neighborhood stayed on the market for almost a month even at a price $100 lower than what we'd been told the rent would be if we stayed.
