“Pros: The area is beautiful and the building is as well. They just haven’t taken care of it in many years and it seems to be crumbling apart Cons: Nearly everything - filthy hallways, cockroaches, bed bugs, rude management, building is falling apart Advice to landlord: Stop taking advantage and being a slum lord”

— 358 WEST END AVENUE · Manhattan“Unit 1E Pros: The neighborhood and the apartment were both very nice. Apt was newly renovated (more on that later). Cons: Hearing rats through the wall in the trash area. Just a general prevalence of rats outside. Owner reported costs of 7 different units' improvements listed on building permit as being costs for just a single unit to DHCR to raise rent from $400 to $4000 and invented a tenant to explain why I was not afforded the legally required disclosure with my lease (the tenant who 'received' this disclosure was a personal friend of the owner, uncontactable, never moved in and had a lease that overlapped mine almost entirely. Advice to landlord: Don't kick tenants out for filing rent overcharge claims....that's illegal, even if you're friends with the DHCR.”
