— 226 EAST 81 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Quiet for the most part, good layouts, nice area, the super is very friendly and helpful Cons: laundry room is dirty and often broken, hallways are often dirty, windows and doors are very drafty, you basically have to deal with pest problems yourself”
— 226 EAST 81 STREET · Manhattan“Unit 1D Pros: I liked the super. Cons: Very old. Tiles held together with duct tape. Destroyed wooden floors so dry they can't be mopped. Rapid dust accumulation. Areas of the apartment that are so grimy they will never be clean. Ceiling collapsed in bathroom and it took 7 days to fix. Couldn't shower in the meantime. Owners did not reduce rent. Heating in the winter was very poorly moderated. Required an open window the entire winter. Frequent cockroaches in the laundry room and occasionally in the units. Barely any space in the kitchen for both cookware and food. Cabinetry and counter tops are falling apart. Advice to landlord: Gut it.”
— 226 EAST 81 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Convenient location to central park and Q train and cross town bus 73 Cons: Roaches and mice. Little to no direct light, very dark. apt faces a run-down exterior of the building across from it and is blocked on all sides by larger buildings. Mice and rats- 78th to 81st- Advice to landlord: Sell/ demolish or gut renovate with extreme pest control measures”
