Good community, nice location, we'll maintained lobby

New management driving out older tenants. No super after new management

Nice and responsive super

Difficult to get response from property manager sometimes

Good location, by everything

Rats Nice Roaches Unresponsive management Building is hardly ever cleaned Packages are constantly stolen

Never hear neighbors / very quiet lots of sun Pretty clean / responsive super water gets hot super quickly dimmable lights

Gets too hot sometimes in winter w/ heat on

renovated some units have laundry in unit

no heat /underheat always no hot water every other week or two landlord scream at you on the phone when you complain

no

People who live here really nice, super VERY attentive & helpful, laundry room usually empty & clean

Next to a college - neighbors can get rowdy, but I don’t mind.

The Super and neighbors are friendly, location is great, and we’ve never had an issue with water or heat.

Overpriced. The appliances (only a fridge and an oven are provided) are miniature and barely function. Walls are thin, floors are creaky, and the units are visibly “lived in.” But nothing is worse than the pests. In the summer we saw at least one roach per week, and in the winter mice would come in to the apartment through the heating vents. They have an “exterminator” come once a month but you don’t know what time he’ll be stopping by and if you’re not home you just don’t get services for the month.

Apartment needs updates and immediate pest control, or at least a hefty drop in price.

Neighbors are amazing

Heat and hot water switch off constantly. Oil spill in basement caused high levels of CO in apartment. First floor completely gutted leaving second floor open to basement and heating issues. No response from ownership on issues ongoing for over 6 months.

Listen to your tenants or rent will stop coming in.

well kept, no major issues (i.e. heat works, appliances work, etc.). neighbors are good (pretty much just keep to themselves) but no issues there. Best part about the apartment is that it is a GREAT location!!! Close to the 4/5/6 and Q, Target, Whole Foods

super is overall nice and will quickly respond but then either not come when he say or cancels last minute. As long as you are persistent he will come. we also have had a cockroach problem. they come spray but we still have them.

Love the charm in my apartment. I am absolutely obsessed with it. Great bones, great space configuration.

The heat is WAY, way too hot, to the point where it’s uncomfortable. Also, some of the features are pretty standard and not optimized for use. I.e. bathroom and kitchen faucet knobs can’t be turned on/off with wrists which is frustrating when you have soapy hands. Also, the faucet in the kitchen sink is so short which makes it hard to wash big pots or pans.

Change the carpeting in the hallways/stairs to linoleum or tile! The carpeting absorbs and retains every scent from whatever tenants cook to whenever someone forgets to take out their trash until it’s too late and starts to smell up the hallway.

Pleasant area and diverse.

Incompetent Management Heat & Water outages Huge roach problem Disrespectful Neighbors

Loved my apartment even though it was small. Amazing storage space for NYC. Superintendent was lovely. Loved living in the neighborhood most of all.

Small fridge, small kitchen, had a few things that could have been fixed up or upgraded, but didn't bother me too much overall. Ex: a couple non-working plugs, a new paint job in the bathroom, a new fridge (handle was broken).

Location, has a Patio

Rats in the ceilings and walls, cockroaches everywhere, the roof isn’t sealed properly so the ceiling in the bedroom is rotting and falling in, close to zero natural light, the management team is rude and unresponsive, the landlord is a conniving slumlord who would let this place rot

Take more pride in your property. It could be really nice and worth something if you cared about it and your tenants.

The unit itself is great - newly renovated and lots of light!

- Roaches (like a lot of them - I killed 15 in one night) - Mice - Gnats - Neighbors have bed bugs - Water leaks that have resulted in mold - No hot water in the morning

Invest in true help for the pest issues - the exterminator just sprays for 1 second in 1 area just to check the unit off his list.

6 floors and up on the right side, the studios have a beautiful view on the UWS for one person wanting to live close to the two major subways.

In 2021, the gas didn't work for three months, and people moved in without knowing. In December 2022, the elevator broke, and the timing was not clear on when the elevator would work again, and NO rent $$ was taken off. The elevator was installed a few years ago, and it's already having issues. Also, the water would randomly turn off here and there without notice. Overall, management does not care about the residents or up keep the place. When you live here, you will have a problem.

Ensure someone is up keeping the building. And be a human and help and be transparent with the residents if there's an issue.

Great location. Laundry in the building Nice layout/floor plans with some character Basics were covered (heat, water, garbage pickup)

Pests Slow response for easy fixes Building manager was awful to deal with

Specific to the building's manager, treat people with dignity. Keep up the maintenance of the building a bit better.

Location, decent size apartments, friendly neighbors.

Management does not respond to emails. If there is an issue that will cause management an expense, they will avoid your emails and calls until you get tired out. They do not care about the well-being of their tenants. Do not rent here.

Care about the tenants.

Carlos the super is extremely responsive and helpful, he keeps the sidewalk clean & wakes up before 6am to make sure everyday the garbage is tidy. Anytime we’ve had a pest, drain, etc issue he has responded promptly and followed up. Its an adorable building on a relatively quiet street in a fun area.

The entry looks like a jail, the garden next door is infested with rats (DO NOT take a first floor apartment- we haven’t had any issues but others have), its dusty because of the age of the building, the building leaks heat so its cold without a space heater

Would be worth investing in better insulation

High ceilings, subways nearby

No heat or gas for months, pests, front door barely closed

Security and cleanliness needs to be updated

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.

Minor pest issues. No central amenities like outdoor space or rooftop, in-unit laundry, or storage. Noise from Fort Washington Ave.

Manage pests more aggressively.

Affordable, good location

The building is infested with mice and the landlord does NOTHING to resolve. Does not answer emails, super is unresponsive, a tenant was left actually homeless after they brought in outside exterminator who found her apartment a hazard - building still did not respond. Problem has still not been resolved

Answer your tenants and get rid of the mice

+ Pet friendly + Thick walls so you don’t hear your neighbors much. + Location! + Super is very friendly and responsive

+ Heat is not strong enough to warm an entire apartment +recycling is a complete mess without proper sorting labels. + Your packages WILL get stolen multiple times + No laundry +Elevator is old and breaks often

Please invest in proper recycling bins and have them properly labeled. Please invest in a new elevator that doesn’t feel like it’s going to turn into the tower of terror at any moment.

Accessibility to subway, Broadway and HK restaurants

Owners refuse to call exterminators outside of monthly scheduled service and prefer to save a penny over ensuring sanitary living conditions

There is enough space if you don’t work from home, my favorite thing is how much space and light comes in the bedroom and kitchen. Elevator works perfectly, the super is great, everything looks clean and the management is quick to respond.

The living space is difficult to arrange since it’s a weird format. It’s also dark depending on where you’re facing.

Promote The super, he’s the best!

The location is the only redeemable quality of this horrific building

-there are roaches EVERYWHERE and there was a mice problem in this building because this building has holes EVERYWHERE in the walls and on the floors and even a giant gap in the ceiling that cockroaches climb through and other pests -there have been so many issues with this property that I have repeatedly informed the property manager and maintenance director of and they have not done anything to help me for the year and a half that I have lived here -the dishwasher does not work and looks about 15 years old and was full of mold and the previous residents dishes when I moved in -the hot water NEVER works and the bath tub is literally duck taped together -the bathroom floor looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in 10 years when we moved in and even after repeated bleaching the floor has severe staining and has gunk between the tiles -the mirror in the bathroom has broken shelves in it so you can’t use it for storage -there is NO ventilation nor any fans in the kitchen or the bathroom -there is severe water damage and the building is generally structurally unsound and the property manager will do nothing to repair the water damage I am genuinely worried my upstairs neighbor might fall through the ceiling on us one day -although our neighbors are generally nice there is one extremely homophobic woman living in the building and she is very intolerant to any sound -the oven doesn’t really get hot and only one out of the four stove tops work -the apartment clearly hadn’t been cleaned after the residents who lived there before us moved out: the heater was literally falling off the wall as was the toilet paper and towel rod was off the wall and there was cat hair everywhere and dirty dishes in the dishwasher and old cleaning supplies behind the fridge and food stains in the fridge -they also did not inform us that there would be a huge construction project on the building before pressuring us to sign the lease -the landlord has no soul and he increased rent $500 after one year even though the building is disgusting and is falling apart and clearly just wanted to pay for the construction project that is a hazard to all residents health and mental well being ( do NOT move here if you are planning to work from home) -the hallways have peeling ugly wallpaper with many holes in the wall and water damage that were clearly attempted to be covered up and the hallways smell like piss and mold

Please do better and communicate with your residents. Fix the building before extorting your residents.

Close to subways, nice neighbors

Pests were a problem, garbage all over the floor, heat is insanely hot in the winter to the point it is unbearable, very loud corner

Take care of the building more

Good neighbors only

Lots of issues. Management not responsive. Neighbors had no gas for a very long time. Some have Rodents and heat problems as well.

Not applicable as there will not be any improvement

Great super, nice space in living area, great lighting

No counter space in kitchen, tilted floors, small bathroom

Gorgeous building with stable, responsible and quiet tenants. Great super and the owner of the building is heavily involved in the day to day. Great natural light in all units. Quiet street with great shops right downstairs. Right around the corner from a grocery and pharmacy. Laundry on every other floor.

Only offered studios and small one bedrooms, so once we wanted to increase the size of our space we had no options in the building. No central AC and the layout of the one bedrooms made it hard to efficiently install window units. Very long, railroad style space making shopping for furniture tough.

Wonderful building that I miss dearly — Wish we were still comfortable in that smaller space. Keep doing what you’re doing!

The size of the bedrooms. Water pressure. Location.

The hallway smell. Neighbors smoke all day and night.

Loved the high ceilings and big windows!

The quality of the apt when we moved in made me cry. The fridge, stove, and bathroom would be perfect for an aspiring biologist to put in a petri dish or under a slide… then alert the health dept. Cockroaches are an ongoing problem. The management company are unresponsive to the point it’s comical. I’m shocked when they pick up since I’ve gotten so used to their voicemails.

Ensure your apartments are clean, up to code, and up to date with all services. Put back up the exterminator sign up sheet, it hasn’t been up for a few months…

They did have a lot of washers and dryers in the basement.

If you like cockroaches, mold, mice, windows that fall off the wall, holes in the floor, zero ventilation, an unresponsive and arrogant super, and rude doormen (except for one guy who was super nice!), then fine, I guess this building could be for you.

Get your act together (and a new super)!

Great neighborhood, in the heart of everything! So much to do and explore. Quiet street, and quiet building.

Lacking in sunlight and over delivered on heat

Quick rental, quiet old building. The super is fairly responsive, but not as responsive as most standard buildings. Very tiny apartments at market rent.

Low heat; constant plumbing issues. No hot water in shower for 3 weeks. Ceiling fell in bathroom; cleaned quickly. No plumber to repair leak that caused problem for six weeks.

I am not sure if a 17% increase is actually legal, but the apartment is cute. Maintaining an old building is costly - have the drains snaked regularly to avoid heavy plumbing repair. This may not be your highest margin building but should be steady with minimum risk as very convenient location.

The location is unbeatable, as are the neighbors.

Sadly, the building is horribly maintained: inconsistent water and heat alongside a lack of building and delivered package safety. There are also MAJOR structural issues with the pipes, causing individual apartment and building-wide emergencies. Outside of a garbage basement with many rats, the laundry room is insufficient for the amount of tenants and the machines themselves are filthy. (those machines were also inoperable for almost a year due to the water pipe issues!)

The landlord, Robert Gilardian, is dismissive at best. Had the building been properly maintained, it could have been a premier destination. Instead, tenants live from an at least bi-weekly issues and overall impending doom (breaking water pipes, leaks, crumbling walls and ceilings). The scaffolding - which has been up for nearly 15 years - is itself an emblem of the disregard.

Great lighting, beautiful original details, good location

unhorsed people were living in our apartment building and stealing packages.

Clean the hallway more

Kept clean, close to bars, good management

Block can be dirty and very loud

Back of the building is quiet Super is responsive

Management lied ceiling was falling apart

be honest

Can’t think of any

An insane amount of roaches in the entire building, even with an exterminator nothing helped. Floors are slanted and there is one outlet per room.

Burn down the building

Location Closet space Cleanliness: did not have insects Elevator Laundry in building

The heat radiator in my room was so loud. Super able to make the sound softer but still waking me up multiple times throughout the night. Never got a good rest from October to April

Fix the radiators

Good location, safe, super lives nearby

Intercom system often broken, frequent turnover of supers, many units have not been renovated and in need of repairs

Invest in long lasting repairs via cheap fixes

Not too loud

Hallways smelled, packages went missing, mail was always sent to the wrong apartment, terrible landlord / management company

treat current tenants with more respect

Loved in this building for 6+ years. Owner, super & building staff responsive to problems. Building overall clean- all neighbors so friendly!

I’m not certain I have anythingy bad to say at this time

Would be great to have outdoor patio or rooftop access

good location in UES

AJ Clarke is a terrible management company that does not act on legitimate complaints. You have to nag them in order to get anything fixed. -The owner will raise the rent on you 50% at the end of your lease. -There are cockroaches in the lobby and stairs every week. I had a rodent problem that lasted over 6 months. -Extremely thin walls and floors with disrespectful, loud neighbors.

you're running a slimy business

great building good amenities

slow management response rate at times

be quicker with responses

Cheap and near Carl shurtz park

We had a case of rodents in our unit. Very old with minimal renovations.

The super is great! He is very attentive and helpful whenever he can be.

A few really erratic neighbors. Crazy loud neighborhood. The neighborhood garden next door is INFESTED with rats, so the block is overrun with rats after dark. Like, more than I’ve seen anywhere else in New York. 311 won’t do anything about it. They thankfully ARE NOT in the apartments. I’ve seen a mouse or two in unit but there are few and far between

Work with neighboring establishments to resolve the rat issues outside!!!

Our appliances are reasonably updated, and the bathroom is fairly nice. Really good location for EV. Mud coffee is right there, along with other vintage stores. Convenient to subway line.

After about ~24 hours in the apt we realized we had a mice infestation. Landlord refused to bring in an exterminator, only gave us sticky traps. We killed/trapped 7 mice over the course of 3 days. And there were many more. Eventually we reached prop management and they sent someone over to fill in cracks (as we initially requested months earlier). All sorted now but took 3 months and felt like hell living in a place with that severe of a rodent problem. Should be fine living here now, but mice will likely eat through the foam sealant eventually.

Take renters concerns seriously.

Great neighborhood. No issues with landlord or neighbors

Laundry room shared by 4 buildings and poorly kept. Maintenance in unit was half-assed

Clean common spaces and make effective repairs

Fairly spacious. Responsive and helpful building management.

Walk up. Laundry in basement of building next door and laundry room is unkept. Layout and floorpan is questionable (i.e. different level floors, walls askew, cabinetry not aligned with walls).

Keep rents affordable.

The super and location

Had two mice

N/A

location, space, separate kitchen

small bathroom, cockroaches, management slow to respond

respond to your emails

Good value, convenient location, good neighbors

We have seen cockroaches, laundry room is small and dirty

Clean more please

Nice location in Chelsea

Pest needs to be adressed

The super Robert is kind helpful, and quick to respond. The building is clean and well maintained, never seen a sign of bugs or mice. There is always hot water and the heat works well. Rent is paid securely and automatically through a portal every month.

The unit is pretty pricey for the size- it was smaller than I expected. If youre in a unit facing the back, don’t expect much sunlight- it’s right up against another building.

Super convenient train wise: 4,5,6, N,R,Q,W and F trains are all within two blocks. You are walking distance from a Whole Foods and trader joes as well as Central Park which is amazing to have. Not to mention the proximity to so many shopping centers. The size of 2/3 rooms is pretty great, 3rd room is small but doable. Large space for NYC apparently.

It is a large and great space but there are some issues that get annoying over time such as the fact that the cabinets dont fit together in the kitchen, poor circulation in the bathroom, no natural light in the living room, and pretty noisy facing the street. There are fruit flies that come up from the drain in the summer as well.

Be more responsive to the people that live here when they reach out about an issue. Property owner does not respond to text messages and doesn't address issues unless you call, to which he doesn't frequently answer. We had an issue with the front door to the building that all three apartments notified him about and he figured some glue would fix the fact that a metal door wasn't fully closing. As a result an intruder entered the apartment building and it was a very scary experience for all that were living here, some were even home at the time.

Great location. Roof access.

so many mice. it is falling apart.

The building is at the end of it’s life it needs extreme renovations both in the units and hallways.

Rent is reasonable for the area.

The street facing apartments are very noisy.

Location, laundry in building, large rooms.

Maintenance doesn’t like to pay to fix things, stains in roof.

Get a super who will fix things.

A great amount of space and an easy walkup. Great location as well. A closet for storage and a full-sized kitchen. The space was great for entertaining.

A TERRIBLE MOUSE PROBLEM. we had around 20 mice in the span of a 12-month lease. We spent thousands of dollars on exterminators and tried hundreds of different methods of getting them out. We eventually had to just surround our rooms with traps so that we could sleep through the night without mice crawling on our beds. It was awful and we moved out as soon as we possibly could without losing a lot of money. A lot of homeless people sleep on the stoop as well, but they were all nice, just a bit alarming. Two construction sites right next door. One of the rooms is barely a room, it has no windows. By the end of living there we were drained and all of us were so so depressed.

Location, location, location.

The garbage containers on the ground floor do not have covers at all. People put in trash that is not tied shut. There are cockroaches EVERYWHERE. Building is above a "bodega," coffee shop and dumpling shop. Not sure when / how often the hallways get cleaned (not often). Stairs are rickety at best.

The law says that ALL garbage containers MUST HAVE COVERS.

The people who have lived in this building for years are wonderful neighbors and the super who looks after the place is amazing but he’s fighting a losing battle. Also, the Indian restaurant at the bottom of the building is delicious

The owner doesn’t care about making improvements (or even maintaining) the building. The laundry is so old it barely works, it’s expensive, still uses quarters, and most of the units have mold. The heat comes from a steam pipe the runs the building. During the winter, dirt etc from the roof falls into your apartment from the gaps where the pipe runs. The elevator breaks about once a month. The theatre opposite put in a new facade that glows green 24/7, so if you face south, you’ll need full black out (the agent didn’t mention they were building this when I moved in). The appliances are ancient and won’t be replaced unless they break, and even then. The front door isn’t secure and packages get stolen. The restaurants either side of the lobby use the lobby as storage.

At minimum. Fix the laundry room. Deep clean the entire building. Seal the pipe that drops dirt into peoples bedrooms.

Super close to WV and Chelsea, ridiculous amount of room, and living room with a ton of natural light. Super is a great guy. Central to pretty much anywhere you want to go in NYC it is near so many subways.

Garbage piles up and it was a mess when we moved in. There were very bad problems with roaches when we first moved in and after a month or two were able to sort it out. Can get loud I got used to it after a couple weeks but bothers some people. VERY busy street corner.

Less defensive with complaints, better turnover pretty lazy even though it’s otherwise a beautiful place.

The neighbors here are all really nice. This building has all the basics amenities you could hope for - new appliances in some apartments, washer dryer in building, an elevator and a doorman who’s here 1/2 the week. I love how dog / pet friendly this building is too with no pet fees. Ali the superintendent is also very reliable & friendly. Utilities are all a fixed cost every month, so essentially water & electricity are unlimited. Close by to a lot of different trains.

Terrible water pressure on the upper floors, I’m on the 9th floor and sometimes it feels like a trickle. Elevator is a little sketchy, it breaks down at least once every couple of months. Automatic heater system works but isn’t that great - turns on randomly and not always when you need it. It’s pretty loud in the building if you’re facing 51st st.

Upgrade the elevator & water pressure on upper levels please!

Our super is very responsive and always sticks to his word. Garbage and recycling is taken care of almost hourly. I never see them overflowing. Exterminator comes two times a month and we have never had roaches or rats.

NOISY neighbors. Management contacted the neighbors per our request and they did settle down. More a neighborhood problem than management.

Please don't raise rent

Great apartment with good appliances and solid size. Huge windows a plus and balcony

Gym could use some work, lots of sirens because so close to hospital

Great location. You really can’t beat the geography.

Everything, genuinely. We had mice the entire time, management basically shrugged and said they’d have to take out the kitchen to find the entry point. So we moved out. I affectionately recall a mouse running under the television at one point. It was horrible. The apartment adjacent to ours had the same problem. It’s just an old, poorly maintained property. The rent is cheap, you get what you pay for. I don’t think every unit had the pest problem.

The building is in an amazing location and is relatively quiet. The actual units are nice and updated.

You are told there is a live in super but in reality the super lives off-site

Good location Super was good fixing some things

Bugs can come in easily

The super is kind but has too much on his plate. Great location. Nice interior. Updated appliances

Dirty. EXTREMELY dirty. Cracks in walls and floors. Windows are caked in dirt and they are never cleaned, also have cracks. Wood trim around doors and windows is literally rotting. The screws in the door hinges are falling out of the wall.

Please respect your employees and tenants. At the very least, be responsive.

Good location. Super tries his best to ensure comfortability

Bugs. Old. Repairs can take far too long to happen due to how stretched thin the super is with other buildings

I like the super, there are nice wide stairs that make moving in easy, and the 1 bedroom I am in is surprisingly spacious for NYC. I also have not seen a cockroach or other pest in nearly 10 months of living here!

When moving in, my apartment was a mess. There was pee around the toilet floor, a blown bulb in the tub (that I still haven't replaced), and duct tape around the sink. Also heard they are spiking rent but haven't heard about my rent renewal yet. A neighbor in a 2bed said they had a 50% hike. Also, my apartment faces the inside of the building so I get next to no natural light.

I would say make sure you clean your apartments better and rent stabilization goes a long way. Also, your entrance is pretty nice and I think a couple plants or a cheap chandelier can go a long way!

Great location, wonderful neighbors, roomy apartments.

Scaffolding (aka shed) has been up for over a decade. Physical plant (facade, heat, elevator, etc.) not well maintained.

It could be a true luxury building, which given the location should be worth a great deal, but investment is required.

Centrally located to grocery stores, gym, central park, restaurants, bars quiet street (for the most part) Dog friendly unit

Pre-war building that needs maintenance, pest problems and have seen mice poor paint job on walls heat inconsistent and mostly freezing most times where we needed space heaters

maintenance needs major improving for the rent prices they are expecting

The super was kind and helpful.

Management team was severely unresponsive. They changed location of the laundry room without notice and changed all the machines to new cards systems so any money you had on the card was forfeited. Saw a few roaches but nothing crazy. The front door to the building never closes behind you, and there were multiple break ins. In one case a homeless woman was living in an electrical closet on a floor for a few weeks, and packages were regularly stolen when people could walk through the front with no issue.

Great location, responsive super, good and quiet neighbors

Old appliances, heat and hot water go off occasionally

Replace appliances more regularly, clean before move ins

The view is great

The ongoing construction around building- which is not unique to this building. Everywhere in NYC is always covered in scaffolding

I have really nice neighbors

Very inconsistent heat and hot water The management is not very responsive The super had an attitude

Heat and hot water should be consistent

Clean and renovated entrance to building Laundry on bottom floor

Super loud neighbors and thin walls, property mgr didnt respond to complaint

Could be a bit more responsive and helpful to tenants

Amazing super (Carlos) who was quick to fix things and warn us of maintenance + always kept very clean and very friendly. Quiet apt with great light. Incredible location.

Small apt (1 bedroom) but it was great until the pandemic hit and then I needed more space

Keep it affordable

Great neighborhood, especially since the 2nd avenue subway

Noisy. Always heard the neighbors coming in and out and the people above

Kitchen and bath definitely needed updating.

great super, very responsive

pest control and other issues are a little more probable than not, but the super is responsive for the most part

Very responsive management

Trash can build up on the weekends.

Sometimes it gets too hot in the winter.

They can’t keep a good super here. They fire all the good ones! We just had one that was great they let him go.

Building needs to be maintained better. Garbage is a mess outside especially on the weekends the building needs to be painted and cleaned more. Don’t care for the managing agent. AJ CLARKE

-Location and convenience -management company was responsive

-Cockroach problem -Horrible superintendent (2012-2018, not sure if the same one is there) -Bad locks on the front door -Basement violations -Gas issues -Windowless bedroom in the apartment

Carlos the super is usually very responsive and neighbors are respectful

Management is horrific and you can expect to have to follow up many many times.

- nice location in chelsea - has fios gigabit internet - good wash and fold location nearby - nice restaurants and grocery locations nearby

- caught around 7 mice - packages got stolen from the mail room - building management never fixed security camera while we were there - if you have someone living above you, you will most likely hear everything - caffeteria gets louddd at night (24/7) restaurant

more security measures please and better insulation between the floors

Located on a quiet block, cheap rent for the area, great lighting in the apartment, had a working dishwasher and spacious living room and kitchen.

This building is so old and constantly falling into disrepair in certain areas. Also, we had a big mouse problem that got unresolved for months. The landlord was responsive, but to get the super to come get anything done took some work.

good location, air, heat, and water

had multiple mice! took awhile for maintenance issues.

clean stairway

The location is amazing - 2 blocks from the park and so many subways.

Noise level is bad but depends on which apartment you are in. Some are better than others. Lots of mice - not on top of pest prevention, but exterminators do come 2x month. More should be done for pest prevention

Get a better super

Rent wasn’t too bad for a 1 bedroom on the Upper East Side, and the current super is usually nice and helpful.

I had both a mouse and roach problem for a few months. First I spotted roaches in my kitchen and mini roaches in other rooms of the house. Then I saw a mouse in the space under the bedroom radiator and again in the cracks by the living room window.

Kind and helpful super

Laundry sometimes broken, uneven heating

Lower the rents, enforce mask use

Above laundromat and very central. Cool apartments

Building could be better maintained and communication with super could be better

The Super here is Great. The apartments are pretty clean. They have laundry in the basement. Trash is in the basement. Doorman is also nice, and brings packages up to your apt. once per day.

The elevator takes a long time. The laundry machines break occasionally. THERE IS NO COIN MACHINE BY THE LAUNDRY.

Extremely nice super

No heat in my room, pigeons stay on the windowsills and it sounds like they are in the walls. People in the basement that live there permanently are extremely rude. And they raised the rent by 35%.

Great area, super is very responsive, building is clean.

Building is old and a bit out dated.

Don't have any.

In-building laundry, nice super, and overall safe building

In my unit there is no storage closet for essentials like brooms or mops, and the bathroom is very small.

Large (appx 400 sf), countertop space, radiator is mostly quiet and works well as do heating rods, nice neighbor, really nice super, close to 6 & Q, 92y, asphalt green, etc

Bldg stays infested with roaches; it's just up to them when they want to enter your apt. No matter how clean you are, you will have them. Floor is slanted in my unit (don't expect your yoga ball to stay in one place), countertops have stains and knife marks ok them from previous tenant, radiator has decades of dust piled up as well as above kitchen windows (tried to clean, but I got sick from it). Had to install my own weatherstrip for the front door. One of the streetfacing windows doesn't close entirely, which is more of a problem in the summer. Third Ave Ale House can be really loud and blast their music in the summer months (sometimes have to call and ask them to turn it down).

Invest in the building with the proper repairs and renovations. Find a way to put trash outside so the bldg is not constantly infested. Build a ledge in the lobby so packages can be dropped off there and not the ground where people walk. Mop the stairwell and lobby.

Super is solid Building is nice

Landlord/manager is a total shark

Be better to your tenants

Great location, great light for the rear facing apartments.

Real party atmosphere with lots of loud parties in the building. Lots of families in the building too so it was really disrespectful. Also we had endless cockroaches no matter how clean we kept our apartment. There's a once a month exterminator, but he didn't always come. Management unresponsive.

Clamp down on parties and tackle the bugs.

This apartment is almost the perfect, it has that old UES charm. The building has fairly large affordable studios with a decent sized kitchen. Heat and hot water are included and work well.

There is a severe pest issue that was not disclosed when me and many of the other tenants signed the lease. Almost immediately upon moving in, I had a roach issue that management assured me would go away when they sent in the exterminator. It did not. The super had the gall to say that this is just New York and roaches happen. Roaches do not happen with proper insulation and generally cleanliness in the building. Now I am killing 10 roaches plus a day and my fellow tenants are facing similar issues. The property manager does not reply promptly and the exterminator hired by the owner does not work. The roaches kept coming back and it has made living here a living hell. I barely sleep nowadays and I fear for my health.

Fix your problems. Hire an effective pest management solution and promptly respond to your tenants and fix the problem instead of making us think we’re going crazy.

Everyone is so nice, very quiet environment, great neighbors, love having laundry so accessible. Only moved in here this past year but so far it is way better than our old place!

The super is very responsive but forgetful - we asked them to come fix something & they answered in 30 seconds but forgot to show up to do it, but we are also not great at reminding them to do it, so don’t want to fully blame them. Place was also not very clean when we moved in but this seems to be a common issue in apartments

Clean your apartments more thoroughly between tenants, but really no other major complaints

I loved how often the trash was taken out, the elevator, and the helpfulness of my super. Everything was always taken care of and I truly felt home here

Sometimes there was roaches in the lobby but never in my unit

Better pest control in common areas of building. And also lighten up the hallways with a brighter paint color

The building is clean and the super is very responsive when you are having issues.

There is always something wrong with the elevator. It is always out of order at least once a month. You need the elevator to get to the basement where the laundry and the garbage disposal are. There is no way to get there without the elevator.

Find someone else to fix the elevator as the person who always comes to fix it doesn’t know what they’re doing.

You can’t really beat the location. One block from Central Park and lots of restaurants and stores nearby, while the street itself is actually very quiet. Great access to subway. Never had any major issues.

It’s certainly an old building with no frills. Could do with some paint outside and the hallway was a bit dark and dingy. The apartment had a tiny kitchen but did have a stove and oven and (small) fridge/freezer

A little upkeep would make a huge difference.

Perfect west village location

It is literally falling apart. No support from the building management. Pests - roaches, mice. Floor boards popping up to where you can see in the apartments below. Cannot emphasize this enough- LITERALLY no support from the property manager at AJ Clark. Walls are super thin, it feels like people in the hallway are in your apartment. One tenant had his ceiling cave in, another tenant on the ground floor got sick every winter from the boiler in the basement as it was outdated, malfunctioning, and was pushing unsanitary air into his apartment. Another tenant didn’t have hot water for 9 days and their solution was to give her a key to an empty apartment (that was being shown to potential new renters!) to take a shower. I did not get my full security deposit back without any explanation and after 5 failed attempts at reaching out to them for it.

The apartment was pretty spacious for the price, and the neighbors were very friendly. The street was usually pretty quiet; there was a fountain across the street for constant “white noise” and regular ambulances and fire trucks though.

Some mice, and the heat was too much, sometimes well into summer.

This building is always immaculate thanks to a wonderful super, who is helpful, kind, and extremely responsive. The building is extremely well-maintained.

None. This is a great place!

Small charming building, perfect location - convenient & close to park

None, I’ve enjoyed living here!

Nice sized unit, great location, friendly staff, good price

Hallways are very dated and could use updating

Refurbish hallways

Elevator building, laundry on building

Unresponsive management Basement dumpster with pest issues No cooking gas In some apartments since 3 months ago

The building is great, if only management company would put more effort and really work on the building, it would be a much better place to live

Great neighborhood and location

Of all the buildings I’ve lived in New York City during my 42 years Of life this is by far the worst. The building is dirty and poorly maintained but the management and landlord are even worse. They couldn’t seem to care any less about their tenants or buildings

Consider a new profession

Location; wide hallways; big lobby; mailboxes.

Owner & Bldg management not that responsive, all about saving $ first before tenant needs. Elevator constantly gets stuck. Needs new elevator but owner would rather fix it 100 times vs investing in new one. Hallways need more frequent cleaning. Front door needs stronger lock. No communal washing machine area. Great location but for the market price being asked lots of better and newer apartments around. Most of the apts have been chopped up to create additional bedrooms. Super OK but hamstrung by cheap owner. $ bottom line vs tenant servicing. Owner not really a property guy and management agency works mostly for owner. Some apts stay empty for years because no flexibility on rents.

Get a new elevator, clean the halls and stairways more than once a few months, spend more money on your Bldg to please tenants since you make great money on the Bldg.

Super is good Building is Safe Neighbors are nice

Laundry seems antiquated. Very old machines that still use Quarters. Elevator has broken down 3 times since May 21. Hasn’t been replaced since 1970’s. Could go at any time. With new lights across at Wicked you need black out drapes.

New machines in laundry room that take debit cards make sense in 2021. Please fix elevator.

Amazing location! Super is quick to reply!

Pest problems that they’ve been battling for a while. There’s also one radiator per apartment! Which is totally illegal.

You can work a little on the cleanliness and presentation of lobby/mail/garbage area. A little painting a pest control can go a long way.

Lots of Asian food and close to subways

This building is a complete dump. Don’t get fooled by the large sized rooms. I constantly had roaches coming and the owner does not provide an exterminator. My unit was leaking water from the upstairs neighbor which they never fixed. The neighborhood itself is pretty disgusting. I’ve never walked out and not seen trash, drug dealers, rats and roaches. People hanging out ALL HOURS of the night Thank goodness I left

Please give tenant

our super has responded relatively promptly to any problems that we have (mouse, leaks, etc.) and is really helpful

management has not responded to a single one of our efforts to reach out. also 2 horrible neighbors, one next door and one upstairs.

The super is so nice and most apartments are recently renovated with new kitchens. Elevator in the building which is rare for the neighborhood

ROACHES AND MICE! I have had consistent issues with both of these, and although the management company is “responsive” they haven’t actually fixed any off the issues.

Very nice live in super. Very responsive. Helped with packages and trash. Right by the 4,5,6. Felt very safe.

Poorly lit hallways
