“Pros: The only good thing about this building is the location and the apartments are decently sized. Cons: Oh boy... Where do I begin? Nothing ever gets fixed in this building. The lobby looks like a forlorn hospice where joy goes to die. God forbid anything in your apartment or the building breaks because it is literally MISSION IMPOSSIBLE to get the super to fix anything. He will tell you he is coming to fix the issue on a specific time and day and shows up whenever he wants without prior notice... that's if he shows up at all. The buzzer downstairs NEVER WORKS and there's always a homeless man sleeping by the lobby door. You also better never have ANY questions for the landlord Arik... He's super nice to your face when you're signing for the place and then later when you call politely with a question and he will greet you with a disgusting attitude EVERY TIME. The man will curse you out when you ask him anything saying "WTF Do you want me to do?" or "WTF do you want?". Not to mention the various FDNY Violation notices I've seen posted on the lobby door and tenants receiving various letters from ConEd stating that they're going to cut off services due to the landlord not paying. So glad I left. I wouldn't wish my experience with Arik Lifshit/DSA with my worst enemy. Advice to landlord: Be a better human.”

“Pros: Relatively quiet if the apartment is facing the backyard and the next door doesn’t have a constantly-barking dog. Cons: This 1920s bldg has bad maintenance – the garbage area is often overloaded, the backyard is swiped twice a year, so things are scattered, and they don’t care. Often packages are stolen. A tenant started a petition about the security issue. The management won’t respond to some issues. As a result, many tenants left. Advice to landlord: Start fixing broken bldg, clean the garbage area and the backyard more often, and communicate with tenants – do all these basic things would improve it.”

“Unit 1C Pros: The unit is sizeable and there’s a dishwasher. Cons: The super is a nightmare to deal with, rude and makes you wait forever for everything. There’s constant package theft and occasionally homeless people sleeping in the vestibule. There is a woman who lives in the building next door with a disabled son, who she parks behind this building during the day and just lets him scream uncontrollably.”

“Pros: Location, natural light Cons: Unresponsive super, difficult management company, buzzer to let people in the building never worked Advice to landlord: Super needs to be more responsive and deal with issues immediately”

“Pros: Great water pressure in shower, good location, generally pretty responsive front office Cons: Kitchen sink is old and drips, front door of building was open/broken for years(now fixed), amazon packages have been stolen, portal to pay rent is janky.”

“Pros: Close to train,semi updated and renovated Cons: Bugs! Had many issues inside the apartment Advice to landlord: Get a better pest program”
