— 333 EAST 85 STREET · Manhattan“Unit 3c Pros: location , location , location Cons: laundry is only 2 washers 2 dryers for 4 buildings, owned by a management company who does nothing for packages stolen , building not secured Advice to landlord: take better care of your bread and butter”
— 333 EAST 85 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Good management, responsive when you have any issues. Good noise control Cons: Saw one tiny mouse in the five years I lived here. Was immediately taken care of and I never saw one again. I live on the first floor.”
— 333 EAST 85 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: - cheap rent, below market rate - quiet neighbors, they got a loud guy kicked out so that was refreshing - laundry on-site, it did take them 3 months to get someone out here and put in new laundry cards though - nothing broke down so hadn’t needed to contact landlord but they seem nice enough - trash was always well maintained and tidy, never got crazy - never had issues with hot water/water pressure Cons: - had multiple packages get stolen / “lost” - pest control came by once a month but I still had roaches - AC unit louder than a car engine - single-pane windows so could hear all the street noise, including people walking by talking. I’m a pretty light sleeper and always woke up several times during the night even with ear plugs in. Might not be an issue if you are ok with street noise. I have lived next to a construction site before but that ends in the evenings lol - creaky floorboards that probably were put in before I born - gets unbearably hot when the heater kicks in, I think it got around to 82 degrees in March or something. It was also loud as hell Advice to landlord: cant complain too much, maybe put in double pane windows or something to block out street noise.”
— 333 EAST 85 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Great landlord - understanding and responds right away Minimal bug/rodent issues. I live on the ground floor for three years and have never seen a mouse *knocks on wood* pest control comes to spray once a month. Live in a rear facing unit. Walls are very thick and cannot hear much from neighbors. Good sound control. Cons: Workers in the building are not that friendly. Super is nice but is very busy and can sometimes take a while to head back from him.”
— 333 EAST 85 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Quiet building, great neighbors Cons: The super was helpful but he could be hard to get ahold of. Gotta be vigilant.”
— 333 EAST 85 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Good location. Garbage management is good as well. Cons: It's old and common areas are not so clean. Advice to landlord: Please check pipes and the cleanliness.”
