Dishonest and Scummy Management

Pros

soho is a great neighborhood

Cons

The apartments are overpriced and small. The management are scammers. They refused to return my deposit for no valid reason and tried to extort me into paying even more money. They tried this with many other tenants as well. Beware. Do not rent from 144 Sullivan St Equities.

Advice to the owners
