Pros: With a few exceptions, they are quick to respond to maintenance requests. The location is fantastic. There is in unit laundry that rarely has issues. No bug issues or rat issues at all. Cons: The hallways are not cleaned very often. The laundry room in the basement is also often very dirty. Some of the rooms are very small and there is no living space, but you know that going in. Advice to landlord: It would be nice if the hallways were cleaned more often.

Pros: Building is clearly old but recently gut-renovated. There is central air and heating systems in each room. Two laundry machines in the basement. Really good location. Cons: Two of the bedrooms in our 3-bed were TINY and the living room/kitchen was clearly flexed into a 3rd bedroom. The building is really poorly-insulated so even with the heating units turned on all the time the place is never warm in the winter. The basement is dirty and often flooded and there is only one washer and one dryer. The property owners were responsive by email but do not hold security deposits in escrow/don’t return the full thing with interest which is illegal <3. Also I did see a cockroach on the stairs the day I moved out. Advice to landlord: Insulate the building, obey tenant security deposit laws, get an exterminator in asap before the cockroach sitch becomes more of a problem.

Unit 2F Pros: Trash is collected regularly Cons: Management is unresponsive to maintenance requests. They were responsive at first, but after time they became very erratic, and slow to respond. There were a few times that they never addressed our requests at all. When we call on the emergency line, no one ever calls back or comes to address the issue, and the agents on the line refuse to do anything or provide any information when requested. When they talk to you they are extremely rude and unhelpful. The last time a maintenance man did come to address an issue, he even said that the landlord is cheap, so he would have to convince him to allow him to do a fix that was necessary. Also, there are currently class B violations open for three apartments in the building since 2023, which are noted as hazardous violations. Advice to landlord: Stop being greedy and rude to tenants who do not cause issues.

Pros: Renovated units are aesthetically pleasing, neighborhood is beautiful and street is quiet. Cons: Do not, under any circumstances, move in to this building. You can find a very similar apartment for less $ that will cause you far less of a headache. Moving into this unit was the worst mistake we’ve made in our NYC renting history. We have never spoken to the landlord, but the management company he hired is the worst, most incompetent, we’ve ever dealt with. We did not (and to this day still don’t) have cooking gas or reliable hot water for the 6 months we’ve lived here. They illegally connected the hot water to the rent controlled neighbors’ gas line in an attempt to harass them out of the building to renovate the units and raise the rents. They did not even attempt to do the gas or hot water the right way until the tenants got together, sought 311 and legal action, and started getting the landlord fined for their misuse of the natural gas lines. The head of the management company, Zach Spira, asked us to lie to other tenants about any rent concessions or help he gave us to mitigate the problem. The management company is unresponsive unless you call, email, and text them 5+ times for any given issue. Whenever someone at the management company goes on vacation, leave, or religious holiday, they don’t have any sort of backup/24/7 line in case of emergencies. The basement of the building floods every time it rains a little bit, and is filled with insects and other vermin. The brokerage, Nooklyn, will tell you that this is a great building, and they continued to move people in to the building when the building was under city and legal action. Seriously, save yourself a world of hurt and DO NOT LIVE HERE. Advice to landlord: Hire a new management company, and attempt to follow city law when it comes to dangerous and illegal tampering of gas lines.
