Decent Building, Non-Existent Management
Pros
Properly sized 1br, tons of closet space, average rent for the neighborhood, ultra convenient location, calls for building issues do get addressed- eventually. Regular exterminator service, never had an issue with pests.
Cons
Extremely slow / sometimes non existent responses from management co. Usually have to email several times for service requests. A couple times I gave up and just fixed things myself. Noise can be an issue at times, but that's to be expected in the East Village. Common areas could definitely be better maintained considering the cost of rent.
Advice to the owners
Maybe hire more help in the office. The current staff is either overwhelmed or just don't have much of a sense of urgency / professionalism.
Loved this building; my first home in NYC
Pros
Lived here for 8 years and only saw my monthly rent go up $25-$50 each year. Management was responsive, professional, and wrote a great letter of recommendation when I moved out. Wonderful neighborhood, great sized studios (the whole building is studios).
Cons
Pretty intense walk-up for higher floors. Some pest problems with the garden/compost next door and street-level restaurants. Management only accepts payment by mail via check.
Advice to the owners
Look into alternative payment options for faster payment.
