All 13 tenant reviews.

“Pros: Clean building, great and responsive super/maintence staff Cons: Management is impossible to get in touch with”

“Pros: The super is absolutely fantastic Cons: The interior hallways of the building aren’t super pathetically pleasing. No elevator and laundry is a haul”

“Pros: Location is amazing for the price Cons: we’ve had rats and roaches abd our rooms are fairly small with no closet”

“Pros: Location, nice common areas, rooftop Cons: MICE MICE MICE. It took years to get rid of the mice. They send a half ass exterminator, and the super is the best but there is only so much he can do. Advice to landlord: Respond to issues”

“Pros: Pros is close to nyu campus and under 2k in rent per roommate to live in Greenwich village Close to a lot of restaurants and the west side high way Transportation was super easy Newly renovated and washer dryer in unit Cons: roach and rat problems while there and were on the 7th floor, i cant imagine the lower floors. Packages were stolen often with no doorman Noise from bars is loud some night No control over heat or temperature in apartment Small 4 bedroom Advice to landlord: I would suggest better garbage management and a storage room for packages.”

“Pros: Response management (except for once), building kept fairly clean, and nice maintenance people Cons: Things consistently broke in the apartment, rats, no heat”

“Pros: Location is good. Unit is ok. Cons: Major rat problem in the building directly outside my unit door by the garbage area- documented and complained about it for 9 months since moving in unresolved Advice to landlord: Fix the garbage and rat situation ASAP”

“Pros: Nice area, close to everything. Newly renovated units with some older (rent controlled?) tenants. Cons: One of the older tenants collect recycles from public trash cans on the street and put it in their apartment so it kind of smells close to their apartment. However, the new management is nearly impossible to contact.”

“Pros: Lovely building maintenance crew that is friendly and responsive Cons: My lease renewal from the new ownership was an additional $1,000/month on rent that was already corrected for COVID pricing. The new management company is unresponsive to emails and calls. Move here if you want to be squeezed for every dollar and treated like a line item in their excel model. MacDougal is very loud, but if you face Minetta you'll be alright. A new restaurant opened that has party dinners on certain days which can be heard throughout the building”

“Unit 16 Pros: Lobby and common stairwell looks nice. They maintain it even after damages. Units were recently renovated and are in good condition. Cons: Packages pile up and block the narrow lobby frequently. Laundry machines aren’t the best functioning even though they are new.”

“Pros: Clean and well maintained Cons: Occasionally billing is wrong but responsive to changes Advice to landlord: Keep it up”

“Pros: Worked well for 4 years, and the location is great. The apartments have good layouts considering their size. Cons: The hot water stopped working, I never got my deposit back, building is not managed - more just left to exist. Smallest apartments known to mankind. Management literally ignores tenants. Heard the local drug dealers banging local wait staff in our hallway. Advice to landlord: Try managing the building and not ignoring tenants.”

“Pros: Old owner who died in 2019 never raised the rents. Unlikely the new management Clearstone will do this. Was fairly well maintained and clean with at least 3 permanent super and cleaning staff for the years 2013-2018. Nice views on the higher floors. Central location. Cons: Didn’t have hot water for 4 straights months in 2019. No gas for an entire year for heat or the gas stove. Old owner(s) were mostly non-responsive to tenants. A couple of them have taken both the old and the new owners to court. Under new management the hot water has been 50/50 for all of 2020. Expect regular cold showers. While the free-market apartments are okay, you are still in danger as the rent control tenants often have smoke etc coming out of their electrical outlets. A fire could spread to your newer place. A couple of tenants don’t have toilets inside their apartments and use bathrooms in the hall. Expect to find them on the way to the loo as you walk to your place. Packages often go missing. Drug dealers break into the hallways at night and have sex. The staff don’t work on Sundays so there is no one to clean the vomit etc that is often in the front door of Macdougal st. There used to be an rooftop alarm that would blast for 20mins - 6 straight hours, for now they have taken it out, not sure what that means for safety. It’s a 7 floor walk up without an elevator. Don’t expect any consideration when they are doing renovations. Last time I check the tenants had filed about 40 or so complaints in the last 3 months or so against the new owners, most have had cracking and warping in their ceilings and floors. The whole building shakes with drilling and all during a lockdown with no hot water. Advice to landlord: Repair the all apartments to 2020 safely standards no matter the tenant. Your building is only as safe as it’s oldest apartment. ”
