Reviews

Former tenant·52 minutes ago

Roaches and flies galore

Pros

No pros sorry

Cons

Infested with roaches and flies, management does not care and does not address the issue

Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

No Hot Water for Three Months, Landlord has not responded to repeated requests.

Pros

The building is in a nice area.

Cons

The Landlord did not once respond to my request to have the hot water repaired in my apartment. The Super came to try to repair but was unable to repair, because a plumber was required. My first request was made at the beginning of November 2023! Today is January 12, 2024 and I still have no hot water. The landlord has not sent a plumber and does not respond to my many emails. I have even filed a report by calling 311, but strangely enough they closed the case because they claimed I was not available to let them in. However, they never came out and never tried to call me as is the procedure, 316 East 89th Street Associates, LLC has to be one of the worst landlords in Manhattan. And, by the way, the law requires that lanlords provide hot water to tenant. So they are in breach of the law!!!

Advice to the owners

Please comply with the law to provide hot water to the tenant in your partment!
