Advice to landlord: Hire real exterminators and listen to your tenants when they say there are mice in their beds.”

— 416 EAST 71 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Location & Price Cons: Worse living experience ever. Yes the location is great but you get what you pay for. The apartment was constantly over 80 degrees, we had 3 separate flooding/ceiling water incidents, a crazy bad bug problem, and multiple mice sightings in the apartment. The management was very unresponsive and rude. When we moved out they tried to with hold out security deposit because of unpaid rent (not true) and when we confronted them they said it was glitch and sent the money back but still super shady they tried to pull that to begin with... Advice to landlord: Upkeep the building better and be less condescending”
