BREITMAN, ARTHUR · avg 1.5 ★★★★★ · New York City

★★★★★Feb 2026

“Pros: Nice brownstone lined street Cons: The building is full of violations and not up to code. It is missing a plumbing vent on the roof to allow the plumbing to drain properly. This caused many issues with clogged overflowing sinks. The super blames the other tenants for any problems and is slow to respond and get things fixed, sometimes taking months. My daughter and I were without heat for 2 months in the winter. The super will also stop by unannounced for non-emergency situations and bang loudly on the door. As a single mom this was really unnerving for us both to feel unsafe in our own home. Advice to landlord: You should be ashamed.”

“Pros: Neighborhood is cute but it’s very far from the subway Cons: Landlord is non-responsive and refuses to fix issues. Probably not getting the deposit back either. I have not had a working fridge in 1.5 years. When I brought it up to the landlord he withdrew my lease renewal offer which was already a $500 rent increase. The building has a history of several floods from overflowing sinks and toilets which has lead to a dangerous mold issue. A literal mushroom grew from my walls and I wake up congested every day. Humidity in the apartment is as high as 70% in the summer. Every week the sink gurgles and sewage sludge comes up. Several times the sink overflowed like a river into the living room. Several residents have complained about bug and rodent infestation but nothing was done. I found 2 dead mice in my apartment and I think there is a dead mouse inside the walls because it still smells like something died inside. Locks don’t work properly. You can open the doors with a credit card. The deadbolt does not line up with the door. They will not fix this either which is a concern for security. Advice to landlord: Fix your house”
