1724 2ND AVE CONDO ASSOC · avg 3.5 ★★★★★ · New York City
“Pros: Walk in closet, balcony, dishwasher, laundry in building, elevator, nice landlord Cons: No heat insulation, you have to pay for heat (electric) and it’s incredibly expensive due to how energy inefficient the building is ($300-400/mo) if using heat or AC at a normal rate, laundry machines frequently break and there are only 2, elevator also frequently breaks, if facing 2nd Ave it can get quite loud especially with constant ongoing construction”
— 1724 2 AVENUE · Manhattan“Pros: Cute little apartment in the city. Cons: -Way overpriced rent -If you live in this building, be very wary of signing a lease with landlords Rafi and Ronen. Slumlords. They will make you pay for anything that breaks in the apartment and are incredibly unethical. Only care about the money. Water bugs and cockroaches are present in building. Building and units are stuck in the 70s/80s look and appliance wise. Advice to landlord: Vet your landlords, don’t make renters pay for broken for electric ACs/heaters.”

— 1724 2 AVENUE · Manhattan“Pros: Our apartment gets great light, has nice character (fireplace, outdoor space, etc) Cons: Elevator breaks all the time. It was out for 32 days in 2019. Rafi is the landlord for 7 of the 26 apartments and is difficult to deal with and extremely cheap—he makes you pay for anything that breaks or basic repair/maintenance requests (ie snaking the drain in your shower). You also have to pay for your own heat (it’s electric) and because the heating unit is +30 years old, get ready for multiple hundred dollar Con Ed bills. The windows are also very thin so it gets very cold in the winter. Appliances in the kitchen all function but the fridge and dishwasher are from 1979 and also use up a lot of energy (more $$$). Advice to landlord: Don’t yell at your tenants.”
