— 681 WEST 193 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: The guy who manages the waste and cleans the building does a great job. He’s cool. Cons: 1. Good luck getting a hold of management. 2. If you ever want to switch apartments, the gatekeeper Sibura will make up any excuse to keep you from applying. She made up rules that don’t exist in Section 8 to discourage me from applying for an upstairs apartment I’d inquired about before it was even on the market. Make sure you contact a case worker with questions because she will give you the runaround, discourage you, or make things up. 3. My neighbor downstairs has been complaining about a leak that has basically dissolved their bathroom ceiling. The plumbers they sent made a hole (removed part of the old dingy tiles) and left the bathroom looking terrible. Now there’s a spot with no tiles. And the leak is still not fixed. 4. The electric wiring is SUPER old meaning you can’t make any upgrades because there is no grounding wire. The old bulb style fuses blow if you have too many things connected. The Kitchen, living room and bedrooms share the same line so if you have a large fridge, microwave, tv, and AC going you can’t just connect a blow dryer or a fan. 5. The ceilings are high (which is a pro) but only because the floors are thin. So there is no noise absorbing insulation between you and your neighbor’s running child upstairs. I can hear my downstairs neighbor cough. 6. Only one elevator. And it goes out VERY frequently.”

— 681 WEST 193 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: convenient. near the A and 1 train Cons: gross. unending bug problem. one of the pipes below my roommate’s bed burst and cracked the floor. a mold problem then developed and the apartment became unlivable. the management company never responded to our complaints and the property manager took weeks to fix the problem Advice to landlord: respond to people making complaints about the conditions of this building”
— 681 WEST 193 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Its always clean because this is not.done by the super, its done by someone else. Cons: The super is irresponsable does not like to do his job unless the tenant is paying him on the side, basic jobs like painting every 3 years and fixing a clogged toilet should not be payed extra to the super ...he already gets payed by his boss which is the landlord. Also the landlord is completely careless about whats going on in the building and avoids and or ignores all basic repairs unless the tenants stop paying rent because of this. Trust me this is the last place you want to live in..just stir clear of this mess. Advice to landlord: You need a better super a responsible one, someone who wants to do theyre job and its not looking to charge extra for basic repairs.”
