1 Star Review – Former Tenant
Pros
Decent water pressure.
Cons
I lived at 410 West End Avenue and was extremely disappointed by how the superintendent, Hector, handled tenant concerns, especially after I moved out. I recently coordinated with a current tenant to retrieve a valuable package, and Hector was completely unhelpful when it went missing. Despite polite and clear communication, I was met with indifference and zero follow-up. This wasn’t the first time I experienced a lack of professionalism, packages routinely went missing, and when approached, Hector’s responses were either dismissive or nonexistent. There’s a serious lack of accountability, and once you’re no longer actively renting, it seems you’re treated like an inconvenience. Beautiful building, but the management’s failure to ensure basic respect and follow-through from staff left a really bitter taste. I wouldn’t recommend this building if you value communication, security, or being treated like a human being.
Advice to the owners
Your superintendent, Hector, is unprofessional and dismissive. When a valuable package went missing, he made no effort to assist. This reflects poorly on your building. I’d suggest reevaluating staff accountability and how tenants are treated — especially when issues arise.
Overcharging for a mid apartment building
Pros
Super is fantastic.
Cons
Anytime there's an open unit the landlord or broker, whoever is in charge tries to charge way over market value. They then proceed to lower the asking rent since no one takes it. So for people looking to rent here, wait for the broker to lower the price. I'm including screenshots of rental history for two units where the landlord had to lower the asking rent because no one wanted to pay their ridiculous above market number. They also tried to raise the rent on me several times while I lived here. This is all while I was dealing with pest entering my apartment and packages being stolen constantly from the building lobby. Despite these cons, they STILL try to raise the rent and nickle and dime me. Additionally the building is trying to convert 1 bedrooms into two or three bed flex apartments all in an effort to be able to fit in more tenants and charge even more rent. For example in one of the flex units they have college students crammed into a one bedroom. My guess is that the broker Michelle from Corcoran is trying to hit her targets... The community feel of the building has been dwindling as a result of the cramming that's going on. I suspect it will only exacerbate over time.
