“Pros: location, laundry, elevator Cons: have to run water for a while to get hot water. management company terrible, raises rent frequently.”
— 250 WEST 105 STREET · Manhattan“Unit 7A Pros: Super was very responsive and did a good job of keeping everything tidy. Heat works well and water was only out for repairs once or twice. Laundry system was actually pretty good too. Cons: Elevator started going out last summer and has been in a really annoying repair loop since then. The Super outsources work to bad vendors who do poor repairs. Management company is really spotty with communications and almost screwed us with lease renewal, but we worked it out. Advice to landlord: Do a legit elevator repair and please get a new office manager!”

— 250 WEST 105 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Job, the super, is great. Quiet building. Good place to live and management doesn't bother you. Cons: There is a chronic roach problem, especially apparent in the basement laundry room. There are other pest issues as well, but management allows an exterminator to come manage it. Management is fine, especially as far as New York goes. They are impossible to get a hold of. They never answer the phone, or return voicemails, and never volunteered an email address until the pandemic. There is constant construction in the building. Only challenge is that they will nickel and dime you. They rented us an apartment with very old appliances. When multiple broke within a few months of moving in, charges for these new, basic-model appliances were reflected in our lease renewal. This seemed ridiculous when these appliances are outlined in the lease. Advice to landlord: Please allow for easier communication. Tenants are only reaching out when they need to.”
