Love the area, love the (c) openigloo neighbors, loved my home after (c) openigloo putting a TON of work (c) openigloo into fixing it up while (c) openigloo living there.

Honestly the building management was (c) openigloo insanely unresponsive. First moved in (c) openigloo and the radiator exploded, then (c) openigloo I had a mice infestation (c) openigloo it took them 2 MONTHS (c) openigloo to fully assess after threatening (c) openigloo to withhold rent. Then I've (c) openigloo had a steady flow of (c) openigloo roaches for the remaining 3 (c) openigloo years. It's part of living (c) openigloo in the city to an (c) openigloo extent, but this building is (c) openigloo just not great. Whenever something (c) openigloo has needed repairs in-unit OR (c) openigloo in-building oveer the years, they (c) openigloo have always chosen a cheaper (c) openigloo & worse option to replace (c) openigloo it. Once they tried replacing (c) openigloo my bedroom ceiling fan with (c) openigloo a bathroom vanity light. Great (c) openigloo location, you get what you (c) openigloo pay for, but beware!

Better door lock so packages don't get stolen, please invest in pest control

location good lighting in bedrooms

cockroaches everywhere — no response (c) openigloo from super or landlord packages (c) openigloo stolen or broken into

-Fast hot water and good (c) openigloo water pressure. -Online rent payment (c) openigloo and maintenance requests. -A nice (c) openigloo view of an open street, (c) openigloo no facing a wall or (c) openigloo another unit 10' away. -Units are (c) openigloo given a fresh coat of (c) openigloo paint before new tenant move-in. -Free (c) openigloo gas and water.

-Roaches: Persistent roach problem throughout (c) openigloo the building. They send an (c) openigloo exterminator around every month but (c) openigloo it doesn't seem to be (c) openigloo enough. Some units are built (c) openigloo with absolutely no closets. -Leaks: (c) openigloo There seems to be a (c) openigloo very high number of leaks (c) openigloo in this building - I've (c) openigloo had my ceiling spring a (c) openigloo leak 2x in less than (c) openigloo 2 years. Overall it feels (c) openigloo like the place is just (c) openigloo patched up until the next (c) openigloo problem hits. -Heat: Floor radiators (c) openigloo aren't very warm and the (c) openigloo window insulation is terrible. You'll (c) openigloo have to plastic insulate your (c) openigloo windows if you want to (c) openigloo survive - and even then (c) openigloo you'll need a space heater. (c) openigloo -Steep rent increases. They get (c) openigloo all they can. **They require a (c) openigloo guarantor no matter what your (c) openigloo income!

Genuine investments are needed to make these units worth the rent charged. -Plumbing -Bug bomb this place or something. -Window insulation -We really need a video intercom system. Packages get stolen.

every room is street facing, (c) openigloo high ceilings

bugs everywhere, super is often (c) openigloo unreachable, no overhead lighting in (c) openigloo bedroom, layout is strange and (c) openigloo the flex walls are subpar, (c) openigloo no peep holes, front door (c) openigloo is often broken. overall, no (c) openigloo longer worth the price

Cheap, and that’s pretty much (c) openigloo it

Thin walls, small apartments, weird (c) openigloo layout and features (extremely tiny (c) openigloo sinks, shower in middle of (c) openigloo bathroom) unavailable management, little security (c) openigloo (lots of packages stolen and (c) openigloo classic “we lost the security (c) openigloo footage” response from mgmt) glass (c) openigloo front door with the same (c) openigloo code for everyone. We’re weird (c) openigloo about me getting my security (c) openigloo deposit back (Didnt make it (c) openigloo available until 2 weeks after (c) openigloo move out, did not offer (c) openigloo direct deposit, said they would (c) openigloo only mail if I accepted (c) openigloo liability for it being lost (c) openigloo or stolen, and had to (c) openigloo pick it up in person (c) openigloo even though I’d moved from (c) openigloo ny so I had to (c) openigloo send a friend - horrible)

This is for apartment 6: (c) openigloo As far as good things (c) openigloo to say about this building (c) openigloo go, there are very few (c) openigloo if any. I think the (c) openigloo only pro is the location. (c) openigloo It is right in the (c) openigloo middle of the action in (c) openigloo LES. Close to good restaurants, (c) openigloo trader joes/target, and a subway (c) openigloo to get you anywhere. But (c) openigloo the actual living in the (c) openigloo building part is bad to (c) openigloo the bone.

This is for apartment 6: (c) openigloo - There is basically 15 (c) openigloo square feet of common living (c) openigloo space. It's a small galley (c) openigloo kitchen big enough for a (c) openigloo small table against the wall (c) openigloo and two stools. And with (c) openigloo the table in the kitchen, (c) openigloo you couldn't fit two people (c) openigloo shoulder-to-shoulder. If this were the (c) openigloo only thing wrong with the (c) openigloo apartment, fine. But it's not. - (c) openigloo There are so many cockroaches. (c) openigloo You would probably see anywhere (c) openigloo from 3-8 a day-not exaggerating! (c) openigloo In the bathroom, stove, cabinets, (c) openigloo counters, and they made their (c) openigloo way into the bedroom closest (c) openigloo to the kitchen. Management was (c) openigloo made aware of this and (c) openigloo the response was minimal, if (c) openigloo any. - The bathroom is (c) openigloo so strangely organized and it's (c) openigloo not even the worst part (c) openigloo of the apartment (see above (c) openigloo for that). The sink is (c) openigloo so small. It's an open, (c) openigloo all-tiled room. The shower head (c) openigloo comes before the toilet, so (c) openigloo you have to walk through (c) openigloo the "shower" to get to (c) openigloo the toilet. When you shower, (c) openigloo everything in the bathroom gets (c) openigloo wet. - There's no natural (c) openigloo light in the common spaces (c) openigloo or in one of the (c) openigloo bedrooms. The only natural light (c) openigloo comes from the bedroom at (c) openigloo the end of the hall. (c) openigloo When that door isn't open, (c) openigloo the apartment is pitch black (c) openigloo as if it's the dead (c) openigloo of night at any time (c) openigloo of day. - Management is (c) openigloo terrible. They do not care (c) openigloo about you. They just want (c) openigloo to lock you into a (c) openigloo lease and take your money. (c) openigloo And will not do anything (c) openigloo to make your experience better. (c) openigloo - It is expensive. They (c) openigloo are charging 3k for a (c) openigloo 2 bedroom in these conditions.

Be honest about how terrible it is to live in your building and do not charge so much for rent.

Location, Friendly Neighbors overall, Spacious (c) openigloo Apartment, Hardwood Floors, Newly Painted, (c) openigloo Fairly priced when I began (c) openigloo renting, no longer is.

Roaches are hard to get (c) openigloo rid of and not taken (c) openigloo seriously by management. Expected to (c) openigloo clean roach infestation upon arrival. (c) openigloo Overall has become manageable but (c) openigloo not ideal. Apartments are (c) openigloo renting for $1000 more than (c) openigloo when I moved in less (c) openigloo than a year ago.

Care about roaches and make decisive decisions about fixing the problem. Don't leave it to renters to solve individually, when there are roaches throughout the building.

Location/cheap rent/polite though unresponsive owners.

Literally everything. More roaches than (c) openigloo I have seen in my (c) openigloo entire life combined. More Noise (c) openigloo than you will ever hear. (c) openigloo disrespectful NYU children tenants and (c) openigloo Old creeper tenants. Unsafe vestibule (c) openigloo with no buzzer.

Change literally everything and stop owning properties on your way out

The rent was cheap

The smallest apt in nyc. (c) openigloo I could touch both walls (c) openigloo by standing in the middle (c) openigloo of the room and stretching (c) openigloo my arms out. No buzzer (c) openigloo for the front door. Some (c) openigloo people had to share bathrooms (c) openigloo that were in the hallway.

Stop dividing up the teeny Apts to make even smaller units.

Location. That's it

No hot water the entire (c) openigloo time we lived there. Owner (c) openigloo also stole the deposit after (c) openigloo saying they would return it (c) openigloo repeatedly

Look in the mirror
