Reviews

Former tenant·just now

Nice apartment, bad super

Pros

Area is not bad, apartment was nice.

Cons

Superintendent never fixed anything on time and barely answered the phone even when it was an urgent matter.

Advice to the owners

Don’t expect much from the super

Former tenant·12 minutes ago

Management does not care

Pros

Rent stabilized, well-maintained building for its age

Cons

Management does not care about stolen packages; live-in super isn't that helpful (rude, language barrier), but he does his job in cleaning the common area and taking out the trash
