188 2 EQUITIES CORP · avg 2.8 ★★★★★ · New York City
“Unit 17 Pros: location was great (plus the view from street facing windows and the roof) Cons: Always dirty, rodents in lower apartments, mail CONSTANTLY gets stolen, landlord wouldn't fix things that were broken even when we first moved in without some complaints. Management & maintenance had some good people but in general the building should have been kept up WAY better considering the price of units. Advice to landlord: get better locks for the two main front doors, so that its not super easy to break into the building with a credit card and steal packages”
— 188 2 AVENUE · Manhattan“Pros: The location is fantastic on 2nd Avenue and 12th St. There is basically no noise as it's an air-shaft apartment. Cons: Air shaft means no natural light whatsoever. Garbage is thrown into a bin at the bottom of the airshaft which is kinda gross. It is taken out weekly but still weird.”

— 188 2 AVENUE · Manhattan“Pros: Great location and room sizes, super is helpful when called Cons: Entry way is not always the cleanest, wish there was a virtual doorman since packages often get stolen, management is slow on responsiveness or does not answer requests, the pest control service is the worst and does not respond to requests unless you call more than 3 times. Bathroom could use an update, bug problem”
