Unit 28 Pros: - Pretty new and renovated finishes and appliances (including in-unit washer/dryers) - Lots of kitchen counter space - Reasonable rent when split with roommates - Convenient location near park and subway Cons: - Small living/common areas, probably because the apartments were split into more bedrooms than originally constructed - Poor trash management (shared with neighboring building) that is often overflowing and unclearly labeled between recycling and trash. Attracts a lot of rats at night, and rats have even gotten into the walls/building. - Unresponsive maintenance and management. Very delayed providing move-in information, the (off-site) super can be hard to reach, maintenance problems reported on the portal take a long time to get a response until you make a city complaint - and then they will bother you to close the complaint before they even address it. Though our building's manager changed recently so I hope this will improve. Advice to landlord: Would be a good apartment if the management was just on top of things. I heard that the super lives downtown and has multiple buildings to take care of so they could start by hiring more maintenance to make sure issues are resolved more quickly and thoroughly.

Pros: - Extremely well-located, at the corner of Central Park - The backyard brings a nice light - The building itself is not too noisy - Rooms are small but neat Cons: - We had cockroaches several times - The dryer unit was broken but never fixed - The building management is bureaucratic and incompetent. We never got our deposit back, for no valid reason. - There are rats downstairs in the garbage - The windows facing the nearby church/small backyard are creepy and dark

Pros: SONETIMES the water pressure was good. Cons: The heat didn’t work, the common spaces and trash area were filthy, there were persistent, building-wide mouse and roach infestations, and the management NEVER responded. We were even without a super for a while (which was not communicated to us by management). Advice to landlord: Douglas Elliman, if you just responded to your emails and basically maintained the building that would be great.

Pros: Rent was affordable and the location is very convenient. Cons: There is a persistent mouse infestation in this building and management is extremely unresponsive. We never saw the super despite various maintenance requests, not to mention help with the mouse infestation. The whole place also felt generally very dirty. Advice to landlord: We would have appreciated quick responses to service requests and a super who actually answered his phone and showed up. We dealt with leaks, power outages, and mice and nothing was taken care of in a timely manner, if at all.
