YNS is not the best
Pros
The neighborhood is great, decent price for amenities
Cons
Rent raises are too much, management is terrible and they don’t update or fix the amenities
Advice to the owners
Respond
Good but will try to keep your deposit
Pros
It’s a good place to live. Management takes their time to respond to concerns, but they do get managed. The building is usually clean. It’s non-smoking, which is rare for NYC. Never saw a bug or rodent. You can control your heat/ac.
Cons
I think the rent is a bit high for a rooftop that isn’t super well-maintained. The parking area doorway has no lights, and there is no way to open the door other than getting out of your car to open it. Management WILL try to steal your deposit. They depend on you not knowing the law and make you fight for your deposit back. Your deposit can only be used for repairs to damages you caused: so get an itemized list of repairs or demand that deposit back. Their illegal behavior after move out date is the worst part of this building.
Advice to the owners
Install lights in the throughway between the street and parking area. Get door clickers for people paying for parking. That would make parking worth the price. Don’t try to illegally keep tenant deposits. Return deposits in the time allotted by law, and if you don’t have repairs, deposit needs to be returned.
