615 FT WASHINGTON AVENUE, Manhattan, NY, 10040

Great people. Not so solid building

1) the neighbors! Such great people in this building. friendly and many have lived here their whole lives 2) location's amazing. Hudson Heights is such a cute little area, and this building has two groceries, a pharmacy, multiple restaurants, laundry, and two banks within 10 feet of it. 3) apartments are large (pre-war) 4) safe. Only had one instance of a package being stolen. 5) for all its cons, it really is a lovely building to live in 1) the super is terrible. Unresponsive, and when he does respond he refuses to help 2) the common spaces (hallways, lobbies, etc) are not well kept. They all need fresh coats of paint, lightbulbs replacements, etc 3) hot water is finicky. I run my shower and my sink at the same time to get the hot water going 4) if you face the backside of the building, you’re going to be fine noise-wise. But a lot of neighbors on the front side complain about noise from Fort Wash. we’re at a fairly busy intersection. 5) building is just old in general. Most apartments could use renovation 6) building mgmt is sketchy. Hard to get in contact, refuse to change prices (even during a pandemic), and couldn’t care less. Hire a new super and renovate this building. It has a lot going for it, and could be an even better gem.

Great people, poor mgmt

The Place Has Potential But Needs Better mgmt

1. easy to Fort Tryon Park, Bennett Park, the 181st Street and 190th Street A train stops, an elementary school, and a few grocery stores (although the grocery stores in this neighborhood are laughably not worth the price). There's also a great little local coffee shop and a really good pizzeria right around the block. 2. The neighbors (at least those who I've met) are friendly if you try to get to know them. Several of them have lived in the building for years. 3. The apartments are large relative to most NYC apartments in the same price range and have nice hardwood floors, and You've got laundry machines in the basement. 4. The surrounding area (Hudson Heights) is quieter than most of Washington Heights, and it's a family-oriented, walkable, mostly residential area. It's a great area for those who want to feel like they're slightly removed from the fast-paced city. 1. this place is poorly maintained, and neither mgmt nor the super care enough to do anything about it. The common areas are rather dingy, and I've had packages get lost or stolen more than once. Since this place is old and next to a restaurant, You've got rats outside of the building, and some mice and roaches inside of the building. The building wiring is also a bit old and faulty, as I could never run the microwave and A/C at the same time without blowing out the power. Every time I've had a maintenance issue, the super has never done anything about it. He's responsive when you reach out to him, but then he never actually does anything to fix the issue. You're more likely to get your maintenance problems fixed if you contact mgmt, but they tend to cut corners and do maintenance in the cheapest way possible, even if it's just putting a bandage over the underlying issue. 2. mgmt is disorganized and really needs to update their operations. They don't give you any contact names (in fact, I never even knew who my building manager was), and when I renewed my lease, they never bothered to give me a hard copy to sign. The worst part, though, is that they don't have any kind of tenant portal for rent payments or maintenance requests. They only accept written checks via snail mail, and you have to write them a physical letter for maintenance issues. There's no reason why a mgmt company of their size and with their portfolio should operate in such an outdated way. It made keeping track of my rent payments and documenting my communications with them highly cumbersome. Automate your processes and create an online tenant portal, hire a new super, and take better care of your building.
