“Unit 9D Pros: The location is hard to beat! Close to the East river and walking distance to L and 5/6. M23 bus stops right outside. The apartment is huge for NYC and the grounds are gorgeous and safe. Cons: The walls and ceilings are super thin! You can hear neighbor footsteps and tv and chairs moving. Smoke is allowed in the building and it seeps through walls. Steam heat is out of control and both too hot and too cold. Amenities are all extra. Huge property management so hard to get support for issues. Very expensive for not having amenities or new space Advice to landlord: Charge less, !”

“Pros: Large apartments, very responsive and friendly management, so much quiet green space, neighbors of all ages. Cons: If you need the subway, then it's a 10 minute walk from 1st Avenue to Park and 23rd. Citibikes are right on the corner of 23rd and 1st Ave, as is the 1st Ave bus. Advice to landlord: Keep up the good work.”

“Pros: In a safe complex, generally feels very secure with onsite security. Cons: The smell on the floors were awful. The ventilation is also poor. Advice to landlord: If there's a way to remove the stench in the hallways, that would be great”

“Unit 14H Pros: This is a most dishonest landlord that has no respect for the rule of law or rent regulations. This landlord is a Wall Street proprety owner commonly known as Blackstone. there are no Pros for this landlord they do not care about the tenant. The see the tenant as replaceable as they rent gouge and break the law by providing dishonest information about the actual rent. Cons: The landlord is dishonest not willing to work with the tenant as they make up stories and make entirely false complaints in court. Advice to landlord: Stop claiming you are owed rent. You should be charged for damages for illegal eviction. Remove enitrely false represesntation from credit reporting agencies. you should be sued for false claims. and you should pay damages.”

“Pros: East lease process Cons: Location to transportation”

“Pros: Clean, great safety team, near hospitals, lots of events, really big apartments Cons: way overpriced, paper thin walls and could hear details of conversations (including my neighbor's divorce...) Advice to landlord: As you renovate the buildings, make sure to insulate the walls better”

“Pros: I found management to be very attentive to maintenance requests, public safety was also very helpful. The apartment was clean and freshly painted when I moved in and I also was given a year of free wifi when I first moved in. Cons: We had roaches for the entire 3 years I lived there and the exterminator told us basically there was a huge hole behind the stove but Stuytown never fixed it. We also had very noisy upstairs neighbors at all hours of the night throughout the entire pandemic and they wouldn’t do anything despite a dozen noise complaints. Also it is quite expensive to live there considering all of the amenities cost extra and there is no nearby transit. Advice to landlord: None”

“Pros: In Peter Cooper so had good views of garden/outdoor space Nice updated kitchen Laundry in building Security/resident services available to call/email Cons: Could hear TV from upstairs and kids next door No exhaust in bathroom Flexed apts do not utilize space well (small living room but flexed huge bedroom, weird hallway from flexed living room to bedroom) Advice to landlord: Allow residents to build walls how they want”

“Pros: Large apartments, great outdoor recreational areas, good responsiveness to issues Cons: Noise levels (hearing conversations from your neighbors above at 3 am), recurrent water issues (black residue on dishes, tap water discoloration and smell), no washer or dryer in unit (and common facilities often have animal hair in dryers that can trigger allergies), central heating leads fo overheating, AC units are extremely loud, units are not insulated (so AC has to blast all day to maintain a comfortable temperature in the summer) Advice to landlord: Invest in Better water quality monitoring, in-unit washer and dryers, quieter ACs”

“Pros: Mostly older folks living around here so very quiet and clean building Cons: We did have a mouse sighting but it was quickly resolved”

“Pros: Building is quiet for the most part. Clean and in Peter Cooper. Cons: The old people can be quite annoying and need to mind there business. Advice to landlord: Please don’t replace the old people with more old People when they die off.”

“Pros: everything gets serviced very quickly and easily! Cons: the garbage chute is too small so its always awkward trying to either shove it down or walk downstairs w trash if you face the river your room will be cold during the winter Advice to landlord: get a larger garbage chute”

“Pros: Clean, apartment was good sq footage for NYC, electric bill perk Cons: Porter wasn’t good at all! Annoying tenants with rent stabilized apartments that need to get with the times Advice to landlord: Either hold tenants accountable to rules or don’t have the rules”

“Pros: The community (parks, etc.), solid floors (barely any noise from upstairs), general cleanliness Cons: very slow maintenance for non-emergency situations, walls are *thin* in the bedroom, no control over heat. Advice to landlord: Want to charge luxury rent prices? Add soundproofing to the walls. Also, try harder to force carriers to bring mail to apartments instead of dumping a hundred boxes in the entrance.”

“Pros: There’s a lot of greenery about; the playgrounds are great for those who have kids and the neighbors are all generally nice. Cons: Overpriced. The window A/Ca aren’t great. And the heat in the winter (which we don’t control is awful). It never goes on. Advice to landlord: Heat is important when it’s 20 degrees out.”
