“Pros: Love the combo of the old + new! Good new fixtures but beautiful exposed brick. Lovely tree-lined street. Landlord is reasonable and very responsive! They just put in new windows which helps with street noise. It's very quiet now. Cons: Doors (front doors) and doors to each unit are very loud every time you open and close them. You can hear every door open and closing all the time.”
— 131 WEST 119 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: I like the large living room, open kitchen, and proximity to the whole foods and b/c and 2/3 train lines. Cons: The only closets are those in the bedroom. In my opinion, the work on the building is done poorly. It's a new build but the grout in the bathroom started to dissolve after 3 months. There is no superintendent and the landlord is extremely unresponsive. It can take days for him to acknowledge your text or call. A call about a clogged toilet or a broken washing machine gets the response, "THAT'S NOT MY JOB!" It took months for a trash room to be put in. The mailbox is outside which leads to stolen packages. The water from the faucets comes out with a chemical taste. Though I signed a lease for with a rent abatement, I was asked to pay full rent and receive a check for the difference due to the buildings refinancing.Which was confusing and frankly in my opinion seemed shady. This apartment is in a luxury price range but it's a fight to even get the basic services afforded a tenant by law. I personally would not consider living here. Advice to landlord: Hire a superintendent or maintenance person to handle tenant requests.”
