“Unit 52 Pros: Dirt cheap, plenty of living space for a railroad style unit. Exactly what a roomate and I needed at the time. Also room in the kitchen for barstools and a butcher block to eat at (not everywhere has kitchens like that in Manhattan). Cons: There really wasn't any investment in maintaining or modernizing the units. No modern fixtures, old cabinets, etc. The tiles in the tiny shower fell out right before I moved out. Maintenance requests were sometimes responded to quickly, but often waited a week or more. Advice to landlord: Invest in the property.”

Monarch realty is truly E V I L. Advice to landlord: Remember to treat people like people.”

— 529 WEST 151 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Hamilton Heights is a great area. The super is very kind. Cons: The building is very dirty. We had mice for almost the entirety of the lease, packages were often stolen because some of the mailboxes were broken, there are rats everywhere because the trash is not well handled, building management is very hard to get ahold of.”
