roof, elevator, generally nice neighbors

management is unresponsive and only really cares about $$, Equinox machinery next door can be loud, no laundry!!

care more about your tenants

Great location relative to subway

Sketchy landlord, will do everything in their power to delay any legally required service
Difficult move in/out with tight elevator and corridors, washing machines were installed in some apartments but not done well so the entire building shakes, at times bad enough to knock things off shelves because this building was not well made structurally

Someday your behavior will come back to bite you guys if there is a change in political climate that decides to go after billionaire slumlords

The units are spacious for the price that you pay!

The building ownership could be much more responsive when it comes to tenant complaints such as stolen packages. The super is great though and he handles everything within his control, but I feel that ownership needs to step up a bit more.

Garbage was always taken out and stairwells were cleaned once a week. Extermination for bugs was offered once per month and WORKED!!

Maintenance requests often took 1+ weeks to be addressed, rent payments by check were tedious (though this is now changed)

Semi affordable rent
Great neighborhood
Spacious bedroom for nyc
Outdoor terrace

walk up
Older furnishings
Left dirty when rented
No doorman/ virtual doorman

Good location and fairly clean building

Only one washed and dryer in the basement and management response time is so-so

N/A

Decent price point

Rodent issue poor communication

Be more responsive

-Laundry in the building and people are generally respectful of the space
-Heat / hot water consistent in winter
-Sun hits in the morning, but not as much in the afternoon, so the apartment stays fairly cool in the summer with the shades open

-some neighbors have dogs that bark all day; the noise carries through the bathroom vents so it sounds like the barking is in your apartment
^that applies to a lot of sounds. And smells. I can hear my neighbors’ conversation clearly though the vents and I can often smell their cooking.
-ceiling / floor noise is super loud. I think my upstairs neighbors wear sneakers inside so it’s clomp clomp clomp anytime they walk. They also have small children who wake up at 6:30, so *we* wake up at 6:30. You can hear closets open, people sneezing/coughing, you can hear loud arguments clearly.
-you gotta give the water a good 10 minutes to warm up in the spring / summer
-someone always seems to play loud loud music like they’re in a band and it is nonstop bass for hours at a time
-neighbors have stolen my packages multiple times just to return them opened weeks later - what?
-the management company is absolutely useless; they hire contractors and brokers who do a half-ass job and they never check on the apartment directly
-the owner of the property visited the apartment today and said “wow this is in pretty good condition” and I mentioned how the pipes turn the water brown after sitting out for a day and he said “must be city-wide”
-the faucet in the shower drips nonstop and due to the water/pipes issue I just described in the previous bullet, it leaves brown and black stains in the shower after just one week

The landlords try to keep up to date with repairs etc. but unfortunately they provide the cheapest possible solution to the problem.

The locks on the front doors are cheap and don’t work as much as they work

Get a super on premises

Great location, responsive management, and well up kept. Rent price is reasonable too.

Cigarette smells from the neighbors

Location, that’s it tbh

Management Company is the worst

Shadiest management company
