Don’t move here

Pros

The location is perfect. Central Harlem 15 minutes from Timesqaure near express 2 train. Two blocks from the C or 6 train. Cheap rent.

Cons

Not well managed. Mice and roaches but they do send an exterminator monthly. People break in and steal packages. Neighbors are dirty and leave food I halls. Management rarely responds. Heat and hot water is not consistent in the winter.

Advice to the owners

Do better

Former tenant·3 months ago

Nice building. Completely unresponsive owners.

Pros

Apartments are well renovated and well built. Hardwood floors are a plus. Lots of windows in the apartments. Appliances are nice and not flimsy. Neighbors are nice and mostly quiet.

Cons

- Anything left near the lobby WILL be stolen. Packages and mail are constantly being stolen. Nobody seems to care. - Good luck figuring out who to get in touch with or actually reaching a human being in management for maintenance requests. 311 reports don’t seem to phase them. The super is also absent.
