“Unit 5e Pros: Location: few blocks away from the 1 train 5th floor: higher ceilings In unit washer/dryer Dishwasher Large kitchen Cons: Entryway has never been cleaned the entire 6 years I’ve been here Super is the most unresponsive. Fixes are half-assed Stairs are STEEP and hot af in the summer Packages are not secure so theft has occasionally been an issue Rent goes up annually and for what? Heat is inconsistent throughout - some rooms are hellfire while others are freezing. Bathroom mold issues not properly addressed (no ventilation system) Front tub draining is always an issue Advice to landlord: Actually seek feedback on how to improve. Show some care to the common spaces.”

“Unit 4w Pros: Charming with its flaws and quirks but it truly is a beautiful old "brownstone-esque" building. The location for this upper area of the UWS cannot be beat (Mamas Too and Absolute Bagels are your neighbor) and access to Riverside park is amazing. The live in super Ainsley is very kind, and does a great job with the trash (all of it is tucked away down by the basement which is huge for cleanliness). A neighbor on the first floor keeps a lush flower garden outside of 219. Living here went beyond my expectations. Combo washer/dryer and dishwasher in unit. Oh also the unit is massive, we had two couches and a 4 person dining table in our living room, and the kitchen was a large separate room too. Cons: We did have some roach issues in our unit but it was always addressed quickly, this is a gem of a place. There are also a ton of cracks in the walls which can be concerning and my unit was quite out of date in this way - could use updating! Advice to landlord: I loved living here! 4W could use some updating in the near future but its a lovely unit.”

“Unit 1A Pros: Large floorplans, close to the 1,2,3, laundry, high ceilings Cons: Very little pest control, loud neighbors, ongoing issues with mold, water leaks, unresponsive management, neighbors let dog pee and poop in alley causing all units to smell like dog pee when windows are open, very poor heat in units, poor upkeep, no outlets, poor light on the 3rd floor when you think we would have it, loud downstairs neighbors, ongoing mice infestations, management doesnt take concerns seriously, occasional package thief, intercom and door buzzer don't work, 311 is at the building regularly, washer/drier rarely works right. Advice to landlord: actually maintain your building, and dont let the super do all the work himself, hire professionals for a change”

“Unit 3W Pros: Large spaces, good light, great neighbors Cons: Horrible responsiveness, heat went out for two weeks, two years in a row. ”Renovated” appliances often required many many texts to get maintenance since they broke so often, the walls and ceilings are cracking, and the floorboards often fully come apart. No vents in the bathroom and black growth in every crack and on every surface.”

“Pros: Location and front stoop Cons: Dark and cavernous in the back”

“Unit 2W Pros: Lovely super, relatively responsive building manager. One neighbor keeps lovely garden in front Cons: Older building with minimal updates, some neighbors are loud music players, Advice to landlord: None”

“Pros: There’s no rodents or roaches Cons: Management sucks. The only one that fixes stuff is the super (he’s great). But he’s not an expert. So if you have a serious issues you’re gonna get some half fixed thing Advice to landlord: Hire someone to fix stuff that actually knows how to”

“Pros: Tenants are nice Cons: No air or elevator”

“Pros: Rent is not so bad, water pressure is good. I don’t have rats/roaches in my apartment. I know some neighbors have mouses. Heating works (maybe too much) Cons: You can’t manage the heating. Doors are a mess. Doesn’t look so good from the outside. Stairs need work.”

“Pros: The building is located very close to parks and shops, beautiful flowers outside. Cons: The flowers are gardened by a tenant, but it gives off the wrong impression that the building is well managed. Maintenance problems will go unfixed if you don't constantly nag the super or get the property manager involved. Advice to landlord: Hire professionals when things break.”

“Pros: 3 blocks from the 1. 6 min walk to Riverside Park and 10 min to Central Park. Super sorts garbage so recycling isn’t strict. Large common areas. Full sized kitchen. Washer/dryer combo in unit. Dishwasher. Hard wood floors. Cons: Not well maintained. Things aren’t fixed well - the issue will arise again and again (I.e mold in the bathroom, issues with windows and doors, etc). The foyer and stairs are rarely if ever cleaned. The super is unreliable - he must be asked multiple times consistently to get him to remember to come. Not great natural lighting. Advice to landlord: Hire a repairman along with the super - things need to be properly fixed in a timely manner. Have them clean the foyer/entry way/hallways/stairwell.”

“Pros: Gorgeous pre-war building in decent shape Apartments are pretty large Some great neighbors Super is fast to fix things that are urgent and is very friendly Great neighborhood Cons: Front doors to building don’t always lock Heat/hot water sometimes goes off Very rude man in the basement by the garbage Things that aren’t as urgent can go a long time without getting fixed Advice to landlord: Replace the locks on doors”
