Frat house living
Pros
It’s like living in a frat house. Loud music until 4 am makes it IMPOSSIBLE to sleep. Property management does nothing about it. Avoid.
Cons
Noise. Neighbors party all night. Months on end. Building doesn’t enforce rules.
The worst landlord/management I have experienced in 15 years of renting in NYC
Pros
The building and location is amazing.
Cons
Over priced + raise rent every year over 10% and do not offer more than 1 year lease. Small bathroom and kitchens. Landlord/Management not willing to help or negotiate on anything. Requested to get out our lease 2 months early (been in the building for 3 years) as we are buying a house (and unfortunately timing never works out perfectly). They initially told us we would have to pay 2 month fee to break our lease 2 months early.. finally got them down to 1 month fee with 30 day notice. Which means they can rent our apartment plus get our 1 month fee - I asked if they could help us out and list the apt early and IF they were able to rent it early we wouldn't owe our fee or only owe a smaller fee. They would not even engage in any compromise. They were rude belittling.
Advice to the owners
Be nicer to your tenants who pay a lot to live in your buildings. Understanding you are running a business there are ways to make business minded decisions that also help people, just takes a little bit more effort.
