“Pros: Very cozy, great location Cons: Super unresponsive management”
— 219 EAST 76 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Conveniently located near many popular restaurants and stores on 86th Street. The Q train is few blocks away. Cons: I lived in this building for over 12 years. The building has never been updated in all the years I was there. I never saw anyone mopping the floors. The halls were painted once during the entire duration of my stay. My biggest beef is the pest problem. I always saw waterbugs, carpet beetles, and sometimes cockroaches in my apartment. I had the exterminators in and it never did anything to abate the pest problem. When I moved into a brand-new luxury building, the carpet beetles also came along to my dismay. Again, had the exterminators in to deal with the issue, and it’s still a problem six years later. Advice to landlord: Update the hallways. Deal with the pest control problem. Have the cleaners come in on regular basis. Update the keypad entry (ideally should be video monitor for safety reason).”
