Pros: My apartment was spacious - heat was ample and the water pressure was good Cons: Management did not reply to complaints - we had several litigations. The elevator broke down frequently and would not be repaired for weeks. There were tenants that created huge issues and the owners did nothing about it Advice to landlord: Stop being a slumlord

Pros: Elevator (relatively small but gets the job done) Laundry in basement (only available during certain hours) Nice lobby area Decently sized units GREAT views if you're high up enough Cons: The supers I knew were pretty unresponsive, even during more urgent situations. Never actually saw a single super once. Management is basically nonexistent and impossible to reach. Couldn't even get a reliable response while trying to figure out how to give them money for something. Management refused to uphold their legal obligations during a bed bug infestation

Unit 60 Pros: It had a good location and the apartments themselves are decent. It has an elevator and laundry room. Cons: Building management completely ignores pest reports. There was a bed bug infestation that they weren’t managing at all, and our apartment got bed bugs multiple times. And they ignored the concern completely, forcing us to have to pay for treatment. The negatives so far outweighed the positives. By the end, living there was a nightmare and just thinking about that place gives me hives. Advice to landlord: Actually do the job you’re legally required to do.

Unit 16 Pros: Located across from St Nicholas Park. Plenty of nice green space. Good location for public transportation. Reasonable rent for Manhattan. Cons: Building is in good condition for what’s in the neighborhood. Score reflects a broader comparison. The location atop a hill is more of a draw back Advice to landlord: Renovated lobby. Make use of package lockers.

Pros: Neighbors are super friendly, quiet neighborhood, laundry on-site Cons: management/landlord is non-existent. super works business hours and shuts phone off after 5pm. nothing gets fixed despite numerous 311 calls. CONSTANT PACKAGE THEFT. heat & hot water is hit or miss. they tried to get tenants to move out so they could sell the building and/or renovate apts for higher rent. We had nothing that we as tenants are legally entitled to. and not even a lawsuit could change this!! Advice to landlord: at least pretend like you care about the people that pay you???

Pros: Building tends to be pretty quiet Cons: Year round: management responsiveness, package theft, roaches, pests, weak water pressure, allergies (I had allergies before moving in but they intensified a lot. Probably driven by fact that it’s a pre-war building) Winter: low to no heat (very unpredictable)

Pros: The best part is the location, and neighbors. Incredibly grateful to the Residents Council who tries to keep management accountable and organizes events such as Christmas decorating in the lobby. Cons: The number of heat violations is staggering, the owner and super are extremely unresponsive, issues go unaddressed for months if not longer. Also, it's very strange that the laundry and trash of the building closes at 8pm and the elevator does not go to the basement floor after 8pm everyday. Advice to landlord: Please take your tenants' concerns seriously, especially regarding heat. Thank you!
