“Unit 10 Pros: Great location and easy access to grocery stores and the L train/busses. Everything you could need is walking distance Cons: The apartments are old, dark and need renovations. Overpriced compared to other options in the east village. Management team is quick to answer the phone, but getting someone to the apartment when there’s an issue takes time. But they are very kind and easy to work with!”
— 520 EAST 14 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Great rent price Cons: Pest control needed serious improvement Advice to landlord: Improve cleanliness”
— 520 EAST 14 STREET · Manhattan“Unit 41 Pros: Great location, apt had washer and dryer. Cons: Required guarantor. The steam pipe in my room was soooooo loud and caused mold because of constant moisture. Our neighbor was unbelievably loud all the time. Raised our rent $900 one year so we moved out (during pandemic). Advice to landlord: Why the hell do you require a guarantor?”
— 520 EAST 14 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Good location in a prime spot Cons: Tiny apartment, i had a family of rats, no heat, and crap management for the amount of money i was paying Advice to landlord: Don’t sell apartments filled with rats”
“Pros: so close to everything like Trader Joes and tons of great restaurants Cons: the neighbors on the back patio party every weekend, careful if you have a back facing apartment. management office is not very responsive or sympathetic when you have an issue Advice to landlord: dont make us call the office 5 times to have an issue resolved”
— 520 EAST 14 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: The maintenance person was usually just a phone call away. The location is great. Landlords were usually receptive, I have certainly had worse. Cons: We had a mouse problem for almost the entire time we were there. Dealt with very noisy construction, though that might have wrapped up by now.”
— 520 EAST 14 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Great location Relatively responsive for a NYC management company Cons: There are MICE in the WALLS. And holes in the weirdest places so that they can CRAWL INTO YOUR THINGS AND BUILD NESTS. They’ve offered exterminator services on rare occasions but one of those times they knocked on the front door at 9 am, didn’t wait for anyone to answer and just CAME INTO MY APARTMENT. They were clearly embarrassed when they realized people were home. Advice to landlord: Get rid of Anna she is horrible at her job, she sends incoherent abusive emails, she does not respond to any email that requires her to do any work and she creates an incredibly hostile environment between tenant and management. I have personally heard the maintenance workers complaining about how horribly she treats them/ how she needs to go to anger management and is abusive to them. Hire someone else it will go a long way! She has been a pain to work with since the second I signed my lease.”
— 520 EAST 14 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Nice location in EV, near Target and TJ’s and the L Train. Also close to a bunch of bars and restaurants Cons: No washer/dryer, dark lighting, sometimes long wait for building services”
— 520 EAST 14 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Location was nice Cons: The place was infected with cock roaches. Throughout our 8 months living there the problem never got better. We made numerous completes to management and spent lots of our own money trying to solve the issue. Management could find no solution at all to the problem. We were able to end our lease early to unhealthy living conditions. I highly recommend not living here. While the price might be affordable it is not worth the disgusting apartment and management is extremely rude and dismissive. Advice to landlord: FIX THE COCKROACH ISSUE!!!”
