— 418 EAST 77 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Quiet and safe area Cons: 10 min walk from the subway, occasional bugs”
— 418 EAST 77 STREET · Manhattan“Unit A Pros: Access to laundry, quick trash pick up Cons: Management was not helpful whatsoever, constant lack of hot water and no heat. Definitely overpriced, but the location was nice. Advice to landlord: Be a better person.”
— 442 EAST 75 STREET · Manhattan“Unit 2C Pros: Management is professional and make a good faith effort to maintain the building well. Regular cleaning of entry and hallway space. Offers for tenants like laundry delivery. Quick replies from management. Cons: The super was not the most responsive to certain issues that could have been resolved with more urgency.

— 1409 YORK AVENUE · Manhattan“Pros: Rent is cheaper than rest of UES Cons: The super screamed at me and told me that it was my fault the entire lock in my door fell out when I tried to unlock it. I was locked out without a phone and he threatened to leave me there from afternoon until the evening (this was in October). The construction can be very loud. No laundry. Minor but annoying - charges small service fee to pay rent every month. Advice to landlord: Fire your super”
— 439 EAST 74 STREET · Manhattan“Unit 1FE Pros: Management company is responsive and understanding (as any nyc landlord can be) Apartment is newly renovated with updated kitchen and bath Neighborhood and neighbors are great Cons: Small (under 300 sq feet) for a 1 bed - basically stuck a wall in a studio, what’s new? Pest problem (mice) due to poor renovation/patchwork behind appliances/radiator Construction!!! This was not told to us before moving in but a week later scaffolding went up and complete demolition happened next door. They are now rebuilding but damages have been done to building/my apartment since construction started Advice to landlord: N/A I think all your tenants complaints have been told to you”
— 439 EAST 74 STREET · Manhattan“Unit 8 Pros: The apartments themselves are cozy and comfortable and many have been recently gutted and renovated. The building itself is quiet. Cons: There is a rodent problem. Management waits for pest control to come every last Monday of the month and you have to sign up for slots. But if you can’t wait until then, they are not very responsive and you still might have to wait a week. My apartment is absolutely infested and nothing changed even after pest control came and the super came to fill in any holes behind appliances etc. Other than that, there are no cameras in the downstairs areas near mail and packages are often left here (though they should be left next to the apartments themselves) and stolen. Advice to landlord: Please figure out pest control asap.”
— 305 EAST 75 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Intercom is a nice feature Cons: Poor management of rat infestation in basement garbage area (likely also due to poor waste management.) Absolutely unacceptable living condition since laundry machines are in the same room. Fix this issue!
