ORNSTEIN 215-217 E.86 LLC · avg 3.3 ★★★★★ · New York City
“Unit 5W Pros: Neighbors were nice in passing and quiet in the evening hours. Cons: At least two (that I know of) apartments in the building had bed bugs, super is unresponsive and rude, management is incredibly unresponsive and rude. We had a full blown radiator leak due to the heat being turned up too high in the winter months and water spewed out from two different radiators in our apartment, completely soaking our walls, furniture, television, couch, rugs, everything- it took three days for it to be taken seriously. We were initially ignored by the super, and two days later told to only contact him during weekday business hours, even though this was clearly an urgent issue. The management office failed to reply to multiple calls and emails when this occurred, along with a handful of other issues throughout our three years there. The walls remained water stained for an entire year until we finally moved out, we asked for them to be repainted after this incident and never heard back but were penalized for the peeling paint when we moved out. The area is nice but the street is loud as it’s across from Fairway and the delivery trucks are noisy at all hours. Advice to landlord: Hire new help, and take pride in your building.”
— 211 EAST 86 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Living space and bedrooms were a great size, no problems with pests, building is prewar so it’s always warm in winter and the shower water was always hot. Cons: Sound travels pretty easily in the building, the neighbors like things quiet so wouldn’t recommend if you’re the type of person who likes to have people over. Got some passive aggressive notes from neighbors about footstep noise even though we’ve had rugs ever since we moved in. The default water temperature is almost boiling, you have to wait a bit to get cold water to drink.”
