“Pros: Overall, a very responsive and helpful super/landlord. Updated rooms and appliances. We had an issue with laundry and it was fixed beyond our expectation right when we moved in. Cons: Windows are bad - very drafty but that’s apartment living tbh. I did have to bug spray multiple times when the seasons changed, but it may just be the apartment level we’re at. Really high electric bills though.”
— 787 ST NICHOLAS AVENUE · Manhattan“Pros: The building is relatively newly renovated Cons: The finishes look nice but are cheap. Bathroom tile cracks and the grout in the shower fell apart. Peeling/flaking paint as well.”
— 785 ST NICHOLAS AVENUE · Manhattan“Pros: Nice space and finishes. Clean and well managed Cons: Loud due to nighttime parties across the street in a park”
— 787 ST NICHOLAS AVENUE · Manhattan“Unit 4A Pros: Renovated apartments, Fujitsu heater/AC Cons: The neighborhood can get loud, especially the park across the street. There have been water/leak issues in the building, but the landlord has always been responsive.”
— 787 ST NICHOLAS AVENUE · Manhattan“Unit 4A Pros: The location was great, and in-unit amenities like w/d were convenient Cons: Just about everything. We were the first tenants to live in our unit and we were misled about the layout of the apartment (advertised as a 2 bedroom when inreality its a one bedroom w/ a "home office." Second bedroom didn't have a window or a proper door installed for the first 4 months of living. Our refrigerator was broken upon moving in, despite being a new building, and the management had a very cavalier and unprofessional attitude about getting it fixed. When we asked for a discounted rent due to the rough start, we were told that we should be grateful for a roof over our heads. Upon moving out, the property manager sent a very aggressive email about the state we left the apartment in. Making us to feel as if we had destroyed the place when in reality it was normal wear and tear. Overall, not worth the amount being charged just because of modern updated. Would so much rather an older, outdated apartment with a great property manager to the treatment we received. Advice to landlord: Treat your tenants as customers, not inconveniences.”
— 785 ST NICHOLAS AVENUE · Manhattan“Unit 2B Pros: Package room, very close to delis, coffee shops, good restaurants and take-out spots, roof access (sort of), and about a 5 min. walk to four different trains. Cons: Smaller bedroom didn't have a window and I didn't know at the time it should've been marketed as a 2 bedroom FLEX. Very narrow stairwells made it hard to move in and out. Back units are not street-facing and so are very dark. Hot water in the shower runs out after 15 minutes so only 1 person can shower in the span of ~1 hour. Advice to landlord: Be more engaging, present, and friendly with your tenants.”
— 785 ST NICHOLAS AVENUE · Manhattan“Pros: Wonderful location Allows pets Cons: Lack of heat Electric bill Appliances No light Price for apartment Advice to landlord: Lower the price”
