Great with maintenance, units are clean. Friendly environment with a lot of younger tenants.

Pest control... bedbug history and cockroaches on lower levels.

Better pest control

Apartment got a lot of sunlight, good neighbors

Had issues with mice/roaches, generally an old building, came with all the old building issues you would expect.

Interior is very nice, awesome location of building and generally pest free.

Management does not want to help you with your issue. I reported an issue wrong with my apartment and was told that if it bothered me I probably should not renew my lease.

Somewhat large unit for the area

Railroad style unit, someone broke into the apartment on our floor in broad daylight, packages were constantly stolen, Sahara East would play music so loud that the floor would shake until 2am on the weekdays, unresponsive landlord

Actually address renter's concerns instead of ingoring them

Good location, lots of light, elevator, and a responsive live in-Super.

Management, loud neighbors, frequently stolen packages, and some people in the building dealt with cockroaches.

Elevator, live in super, good trash management

Water pressure, old fixtures

Nice building to live in

Annoying to have to mail/drop off checks

Great location and overall good condition apartments

- Management is greedy and WILL raise your rent an egregious amount
- When we moved in, they did not hire cleaners at all and it was filthy inside
- They took away some of our security deposit back for not "cleaning" but the apartment was in good condition
- Payment has to be done in person by check

Stop being so money hungry and invest in good tenants

Heart of the East Village

Crazy Street Corner
Bad Management
Tons of Noise! No sleep!

Clean up the area/ground floor tenants and it would be much better!

Location was nice (prime east village)

The apartment had mice and roaches. Garbage attracted more rats. Super was not live-in even though it was advertised he would be. We had a water leak for 9 months out of the 12 that we lived there.

Nice neighbors, great live-in super, has an elevator, close to the F subway, responsive to any issues.

Can only pay through check, which the accounting team will often lose or misplace. No laundry in the building, will occasionally see dead cockroaches in common areas

allow online payments

No one bothers you

Not always the cleanest

Reasonable rent in great UES location

Management company was impossible to get a hold of. Dealt with a mouse issue for several months without receiving assistance or solution from management.

Close to nyu, big, prefect for hosting.

1st and 1st if pretty noisy and expensive

Good location, rent was never raised drastically year over year

While the super was always difficult to hear back from and the management company never remembered anything and always had a different person answer the phone, it was worth it for the price until we had a mouse infestation. 6 months of trying to take care of pest control and we never once got the landlord directly on the phone. I believe he was invisible, they would always claim he’d call or use him as a threat but we’d never hear from him. All communication with the exterminator & responsibility for the situation was put on me and it was never resolved. We ended up giving a 60 day written notice we were leaving only to have them withhold our security deposit two months later claiming they didn’t know about a mouse and that we didn’t tell them we were leaving or return the keys. All lies. It was a complete mess and my worst rental experience of 5 years & 3 buildings in the city.

Take care of your building & answer your tenants

The location is great, heat and water pressure are good.

Can be loud depending if facing the street. Lately there’s been roaches in the lobby. Also, some of the repairs can take forever.

Management’s maintenance team does a good job once on site.

Building is very dirty, some tenants can be disturbing, leaving cigarette butts in the lobby, screaming at partners, there are flies everywhere

Property owner is very nice, needs to do a better job understanding current situation in the building.

The location is great

There were loads of roaches

never had any issues

It might not be ideal if expectations exceed what this type of property can provide. Make sure to take look first.

Apartment was in good condition, and we had no major issues during our lease. The draw is the location - if you want to live in the East Village, it’s unbeatable.

Super was slow to respond and act when our refrigerator stopped working. A decent amount of noise from outside (though not as much as you might expect).

Responding to tenant issues more quickly would make a big difference.
