“Pros: Nothing do not rent here Cons: The management company was horrific. Rude doesn’t even describe it. Building was actually crumbling, super refused to do anything. Bugs, mice you name it”

“Unit 2A Pros: - Decent looking apartment unit relatively spacious -Nice, modern painted exposed brick - Lots of food/cafes in the area - Cool laundry mat half a block away Cons: Many cons I fear: - One room was dramatically disproportionate to the other. It was giving shoe closet. - Radiator was turned off for several days in the middle of January. I had to request multiple times for it to be turned on - Repeatedly asked for repairs to made to broken oven, loose kitchen faucet (faulty at move-in), backed up drain (faulty at move-in) - some windows sealed shut - Pretty dirty at move-in - owner is very sketch Advice to landlord: shut it down.”

“Pros: garbage is easily managed and the heat works after we had an outside maintenance come fix it since the building maintenance was not responsive. water pressure is ok but water is so hot it burns you most of the time and seems to be building recurring issue even at move out. Cons: things stolen out of mailroom constantly due to no security, maintenance dumps things in mailroom like a fridge that was there for months and is still there at time of move out, constant pest issues including roaches and some neighbors say there are mice, front door constantly breaks, and management is non responsive with not even an email able to contact. maintenance also constantly does not answer you for issues or fixes. landlord will steal your deposits and even auto pay after you move out. late fees are charged too early for nyc law.”

“Pros: Nothing at all Cons: No regular heat, shower jumps between hot and cold every second, landlord and superintendent are unresponsive and do not manage the building well, packages are always stolen, price is too expensive, apartments are in poor condition (especially the bathrooms), very sketchy agent Limor and landlord Iger. Do not come here. Advice to landlord: Retire”

“Pros: Good location , decent size, good light Cons: Unresponsive landlord , where is the super? Advice to landlord: Do better. This could be a great place”

“Pros: A good location Cons: Elevator was always broken, unit was in disrepair, and heat/hot water was unreliable. Property owner terminated the lease after 1 year without cause.”

“Pros: The Super is helpful and frequently on site Cons: Owners of 611 realty are some of the worst people I’ve dealt with. “Elevator on site” is almost ALWAYS out of order. Building needs some serious upgrades for what they are charging”

“Pros: The location is great. Cons: Igor (building owner) and Limor (broker) do not handle any part of their jobs with decency and respect for tenants. If you choose to live here, you will encounter the same issues that everyone in the building faced. You will have to threaten to take them to small claims court to get your security deposit back, you will have to email, call or text them repeatedly to have the basic necessities such as water or heat provided to you, you will be stuck in the elevator and will have to call the fire department to get out, and you will be threatened and dismissed when you voice your issues. I tried to look past the red flags that I encountered during the move-in and like many people assumed that all New York City apartments have their issues. However, it really is a very different experience to come home every day and not know if your apartment will be habitable or if your repairs will be handled, all while knowing that you will be ignored by the only people that can address the issues. The East Village is a wonderful neighborhood but there are other apartments and better landlords, keep looking. Advice to landlord: Find new income streams and leave renting out apartments to people with the time and decency to do so.”

“Pros: When the elevator works it’s great. Unbeatable location!! Cons: Super doesn’t respond to texts only calls and in person requests. The maintenance portal never gets reviewed or addressed. Advice to landlord: Listen to your tenants, we just want what we paid for.”

“Unit 5D Pros: This building has a semi-working elevator and is generally pretty quiet and cleanish. Perfect place to get by for a few months while paying reasonable rent and being in a great location especially if you have a dog. Cons: Elevator traps you or doesn’t work at all about 25% of the time. Shower water shifts instantly and spontaneously from boiling to freezing to the point where it’s probably a safety hazard. June Homes sucks at providing keys for tenants. Advice to landlord: What’s going on with the elevator and hot water? A little sign that explains the situation would be helpful even if a fix isn’t possible. The issues really catch you off guard sometimes.”

“Unit 4b Pros: Building is generally clean and in a great location Cons: The landlord is completely evil and unresponsive even when it it 5 degrees outside and you have no heat in the building. Went without heat in the dead of winter for weeks”

“Pros: Not many - apt was probably nice at some point. Structurally, it didn't collapse? That's about it. Cons: Impossible to get a hold of landlord. Any issues took days to resolve. Continued to pull money out of my bank account after my lease ended. I'm still trying to get the money back. Advice to landlord: Stop stealing from people, answer the phone, and do the right thing.”

“Pros: Friendly neighbors. Elevator when it does work (not often). Cons: Elevator breaks all the time, management never responds, oven broken the whole lease, drain doesn’t work, and worst —heat didn’t come on for a couple days and shower heat is on and off. Advice to landlord: Communicate more.”

“Pros: The apartments are updated Cons: Management takes forever to respond to requests, elevator frequently stalls, and hallways are dirty”

“Pros: Neighbors are nice Cons: Things are broken in every apartment upon moving, Super never shows up, Rents are raised erratically, Landlord lied about how much rent will increase by, Cockroaches, Black mold, Packages stolen, No locks on mailboxes, Keys were hard to receive, Copy of lease hard to receive, Limor is unresponsive unless asking for more money, Dangerous elevator, often traps tenants and deliverymen, No carbon monoxide detectors or fire alarms, Front door often jams and locks in tenants (a huge fire hazard) -- super was contacted about this but never showed up Advice to landlord: Be a better person, stop lying, have some empathy”

“Pros: Location is not bad. Cons: Aways breaking. Heat either off or on full blast. Water takes forever to heat up. Building always dirty. Elevator always breaking. Advice to landlord: Sell the building to someone who will take better care of it.”

“Pros: The units in this building are decent, although we had to do quite a bit of cleaning in our unit when we moved in. We love this block, it’s one block away from Tompkins and literally everything is at your fingertips. They also have an exterminator come once a month which is good. Floors are very shiny, walls are freshly painted. Cons: The heat and hot water has stopped multiple times throughout the winter. Management is slow to repair things when requested.”

“Unit 1A Pros: location is great Cons: igor and limor are both shady. there is many violations and they try to charge extra fees. my apt only has one radiator in the whole place the heat isn't on when its required by law in the winter rat infestation. Advice to landlord: imagine your family member lived here.”
