Horrible Owners- Management
Pros
The locations is just about perfect. The maintenance staff is friendly and responsive. The building has a charming garden and onsite laundry.
Cons
Building management is terrible. Slow to no response, even for an emergency. They are particularly bad to rent stabilized tenants and they try to get rid of them by ignoring repairs. Once they do actually repair something, they use the worst service people and repairs fail and have to be repeated again and again. The heat and hot water if out on average once per month. AJ Clarke are effectively high-class slum lords.
Advice to the owners
Stop treating rent stabilized tenants like dirt. Stop overcharging new tenants who don't have stabilized leases.
Nice pre-war rental building in the Heights
Pros
Great neighbors. Friendly and responsive super. Beautiful spacious apartments in a fantastic location. Good value. Clean and well-maintained compared to similar buildings in the area. Nice laundry facilities in basement with plenty of machines here and next door at 620.
Cons
Minor pest issues. No central amenities like outdoor space or rooftop, in-unit laundry, or storage. Noise from Fort Washington Ave.
Advice to the owners
Manage pests more aggressively.
