“Pros: No bugs, good building. No bugs, elevators. Cons: Laundry room can be a mess with busted machines, and garbage room is always overflowing.”

“Pros: Perfectly placed in the spectrum from budget to luxury, in downtown NYC which is a luxury area to live by default. You get: high ceilings (it's an old elementary school), tall windows, quiet location (minus the kids yelling for recess at the elementary school across the street), walkability to the best parts of New York: LES (home base) East Village, Chinatown, Little Italy, West Village, SoHo, you can even walk across the Williamsburg Bridge to BK if you have 25 minutes to spare etc... 360 degree rooftop view of Manhattan: Empire State, Chrysler bldg, 1 World Trade... A backyard courtyard that's highly underutilized, washer / dryer in building, 24h security team watching your packages & the lobby, a bike room, an elevator Cons: - Elevators are slow - Hallways are dirty, there is a bad character on staff who is entangled in legal battles with the super and the security team that management won't fire for some weird reason - Honestly not too much else. The unit got a little cold in the winter but the super helped fix the heaters and it's pretty much good now, except on the coldest days. So you bundle up or get a space heater. Advice to landlord: Fire the porter who is neglecting the trash rooms, harassing your other employees, and does not know how to work a mop”

“Unit 3D Pros: -Rooftop access -Laundry in Building -Elevators -Security for less package theft -Spacious units -Old high school building -Next to two elementary schools, so quiet on evenings and weekends Cons: -The roof was open like two months a year, I don't see why it couldn't be open longer -I lived here for four years, and the laundry room was "out of service" for almost an entire year. reaching out to the laundry service made it clear that it was the building's problem that wasn't getting fixed Advice to landlord: People pay good money for roof access in this city. Keep it open longer!”

“Pros: Units are nice and large. Security at the front desk Cons: Building is dirty”

“Pros: Beautiful westward views from the top; great roof deck; friendly doorpeople Cons: Wish the roof deck were open year roun”

“Pros: Big apartments with high ceilings. Security will bring packages to your door, sometimes… Cons: Landlords are horrible to speak with, no negotiation on anything, hallways are fairly grubby and when the floors are cleaned it’s a bare minimum in cleaning with the stench of disinfectant. Last year the apartment was barely warm enough, I think they turned the heat down in winter as the building was fairly empty due to covid. There are tree plots outside the building that could enhance the look of the apartment block from the outside, but they are left to grow weeds and store rubbish, not nice to look at.”

“Pros: The apartments are great. The high ceilings are lovely and they are super spacious. The trash rooms, elevator, and laundry are great to have but are not always in working order Cons: The super is great and reaponsive but building management is not. Hard to reach and rude/dismissive. A lot of the amenities (like the roof and laundry room) exist but are not really usable Advice to landlord: Care more for the tenants”

“Pros: High ceilings and good light Cons: Where to start. Whether it be the most unpleasant management I’ve had to deal with, the dirty building, being lied to about amenities, the cockroaches, the cheap materials or poor plumbing. This building has no pros. For what they charge find something worth the money and save yourself the headache. Advice to landlord: None they should be ashamed of their lies and how they treat tenants.”

“Pros: Apartments are big (though overpriced) with high ceilings and lots of light. Cons: Amenities are a joke. “Courtyard” is .... just an empty plot and has been closed for ages because a tree fell during a storm and was never repaired. Laundry room was out of order for almost a year because a pipe was never fixed. No hot water or water pressure for over a month because of the same problem. There is an elevator but it’s frequently broken. The security guards are pretty much sleepwalking, sometimes even asleep. Roof closed well before COVID. Managaement is hard to reach, rude, awful. Advice to landlord: They don’t give a sh*t about tenants, so no advice will help.”

“Pros: The building staff are lovely people. Cons: The owners/mgmt company is awful. The courtyard and roof deck have been closed for years, well before the pandemic. The laundry room is unkempt and the washer/dryers are not maintained. The heat in the winter is terrible and the windows are very drafty. Any repairs that are made are done using poor materials.This used to be a great building but over the years it’s fallen apart without proper care or upkeep. Advice to landlord: They are beyond advice. They should turn it into condos and let the residents who want to buy in, do that.”

“Pros: None they don’t car if you leave or stay here. All they do is lie. They insist they have to take away amenities due to Covid but they don’t clean the hallways or elevator any more than they used to. Cons: They won’t fix anything and then lie about why it’s broken. Dryers off for nine months and blamed the company that supplies them, then con Ed and then finally admitted that they needed to hire a plumber when complaints got too much. Con Ed told them from the beginning that they needed work done. They closed the roof deck for Covid and won’t reopen even though every other building has its roof deck open. They claim that the city won’t let them when it’s to lower insurance premiums. After a bad snowstorm there was a tree in the courtyard that was damaged. Rather than getting it cut down they closed the courtyard. That was two years ago and it’s still closed. Advice to landlord: Stop lying to people and get these things fixed. It’s not a cheap place here, you are getting decent rents.”
