Does not recommend

Former Tenant

Pros:

This building is located right at the hearts of Harlem so it’s convenient.

Cons:

Too much drug activity going on around the neighborhood, the owner doesn’t visit, management is horrible you rarely get a response from them the hot water works sometimes, the building is always dirty elevators stop working after a while this building is just horrible management stinks.

Advice to owner:

Please get a better management and stop being so cheap we need things fixed in this building.

HPD is to blame

Former Tenant

Pros:

The building has an elevator.

Cons:

Prior to move in the Landlord increased the low income affordable rent from $1063 to $1165 stating construction cost however nothing was done. Heat issues, ceilings caving in plumbing issues, lazy supers, walls falling stoves not working the cheapest floor titles, roaches, mice, strangers walking around, no laundromat in the basement, dirty elevator, no installation in the walls, tenants are freezing cold, spit on the walls, incorrect statements, the management company calls you and says pay your rent. The fire department comes here a lot because of the elevator.

Advice to owner:

Lemor Realty owns the building Metropolitan Property Manages the building. Sell the building to a management company that will do right by the tenants. HPD should shut the building down.
