“Pros: Location Beautiful Parlor Room Had a loft High ceilings Cons: No laundry at the time. See direct for updates”
— 164 EAST 85 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: The rent was pretty cheap when I first moved in ($2400 for 2 bed). Also the location is fantastic. Super close to the park, stores, and subway lines. Cons: Building wasn’t well maintained. Pests in the hallways. Workers from nearby stores would sit on the stoop and smoke for long periods of time. Advice to landlord: Keep the hallway cleaner”
— 164 EAST 85 STREET · Manhattan“Unit 4R Pros: Location Charm Responsive super Cons: No laundry Dirty building Room sizes Advice to landlord: Make updates to/clean common spaces”
— 164 EAST 85 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Responsive super, no problems with bugs or rodents. Close to subway and central UES Cons: The hallways / staircase has likely not been cleaned in years. Management is new and isn’t overbearing but basically nonexistent. Advice to landlord: maybe hire a cleaner for the common hallway”
— 160 EAST 85 STREET · Manhattan“Unit NA Pros: - Great location - true 2 bedroom that can fit a full size bed, desk, dresser, and night stand - cheap rent Cons: - super does absolutely nothing - packages do get stolen Advice to landlord: you already know”
— 164 EAST 85 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Building in good location with friendly neighbors and responsive super Cons: Building itself could use some cleaning and maintenance. Hallways are dirty, ceiling light covers are gone, etc. Also, people tend to smoke right outside the building and the smell finds its way into the halls. Advice to landlord: Be more proactive in maintaining the shared spaces in the building and enforce no smoking policy”
— 162 EAST 85 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: The building was well kept and I liked that both of the entry doors remained locked. Management was pretty responsive. Cons: There wasn't much that I didn't like about the building itself. Sometimes the super wasn't as responsive but that happens sometimes. It wasn't anything too bad.”
— 164 EAST 85 STREET · Manhattan“Unit 4H Pros: I loved the location! Being on the UES is so great, and you are also very close to Carl Schurz Park which is right by the water. Cons: The building is just very old, and honestly not the best maintained. Our bathroom has mold growing on the ceiling (probably due to poor ventilation in the bathroom) and the hallways/stairwells were very cramped. The kitchen in our unit was very cramped as well, and we have come across a few pests while living there (a mouse having come through the crack underneath our front door!) Advice to landlord: The building can use some updating and renovation!”
— 162 EAST 85 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: No roach or rat problem or any plumbing/heat issues. The super is great Cons: Shake shack workers sit on the stoop and smoke weed all the time”
— 164 EAST 85 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Close to the 4,5,6, pretty quiet street, responsive management Cons: 5th floor walkup, water pressure in sink not good, no laundry or dishwasher”
— 162 EAST 85 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Safe, trash sorted Cons: Communal hallway can get dirty Advice to landlord: None”
— 164 EAST 85 STREET · Manhattan“Unit 2R Pros: Proximity to downtown, Proximity to the park, so many stores and restaurants in the area. Very safe, quiet, no one really bugs you. Having the 4/5 so close is a dream Cons: There is construction going on all the time in the building behind this property. Really sucks. Super isn’t the most reliable. Can be cramped but that’s a lot of places in the area Advice to landlord: Get bigger fridges!”
— 162 EAST 85 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Great location, close to 4/5/6 and Q trains and quick walk to Central Park. Lots of restaurants and stores nearby. Cons: Limited natural light, directly across from a fire station (not constantly noisy, but sirens a few times a day), dirty stairways/hallways Advice to landlord: Entryway/stairway could be cleaner”
— 162 EAST 85 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Location and convenience to 86th St. commercial area Cons: Super is unresponsive, building is old and dirty, needs lot of renovations; owner refuses to install security cameras, lots of package thefts occur; across the street from noisy fire hall Advice to landlord: Reinvest some of the rental income on repair and renovation”
— 164 EAST 85 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: - Technically a live in super - phenomenal location (truly can’t beat it) - Nice floors and walls - spacious front room - lots of storage space Cons: - management is horrible and only talk through super which is entirely unhelpful - parts of the building definitely show its age - a tenant of either this building or the one next door is always on the front stoop and makes comments at the women in the building Advice to landlord: Management should be easier to reach and actually respond!”
