“Pros: Location was very convenient, laundry in building always a plus Cons: Repairs take a long time to schedule Advice to landlord: Water pressure in sinks need to be fixed”
— 337 WEST 14 STREET · Manhattan“Unit #53 Pros: Run by a management company so they are pretty quick with responding to small repairs. Cons: Management is extremely hostile to rent stabilised tenants I had a gas leak in my apartment for 3 months when I moved in. I was told from the previous tenant that the stove was supposed to be replaced before I moved in, when I followed up with management they acted like they. didn't know what I was talking about. I smelled gas and called them and they sent a plumber who said nothing was wrong. A few months later I really smelled gas and got scared so I called Con ED. There was a gas leak from the stove. Management and my super were both upset with me and kept asking why I didn't call them first and asked me to pay for the stove to be replaced. My gas bill went down. $30 after that. There was $30 worth of gas leaking into my apartment for 3 months and management was mad at me. They also sent a letter trying to scare me into vacating the apartment due to small sublet fees they had been charging without notifying us. The super was constantly watching me and trying to find ways to get me kicked out. They really wanted to renovate and raise the rent. Advice to landlord: Have basic compassion for your tenants”

— 337 WEST 14 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: The location is good Cons: Property management does not care about tenants in this building at all. nobody answers your calls and nobody gets back to you. they raise the rent incredibly, knowing that they’d make the elevator out of service for 3 months and gave us 2 days notice Advice to landlord: Act like you care even a little about the tenants”
— 337 WEST 14 STREET · Manhattan“Unit 71 Pros: Neighbors are mostly young, the area is great Cons: Management could be a bit slow to respond, package system is not very good so you need to monitor and track packages”
— 337 WEST 14 STREET · Manhattan“Unit 63 Pros: Common stairwells were cleaned often and plumbing issues usually only took 1-2 days to fix. Soundproofing between rooms was quite good. Cons: It is an old building so there were occasionally strange issues like water coming through the ceiling. Plus it's a busy neighborhood so a ton of construction noise, garbage left on the stoop, and things like that but there's not much that could have been done.”
