PRINCE STREET ASSOCIATES, INC. · avg 2.8 ★★★★★ · New York City
“Unit 16 Pros: Somewhat decent price for location, not super loud, small space but decent for price and location - definitely tour in person before signing a lease Cons: Public spaces can be dirty, recently got new management but old management was not great, seen about 5-7 roaches in the 1.5 years I’ve lived here, had no heat or hot water for first month I was here (but has been fixed and fine since then) - overall it’s fine and a decent price for the location, which is the best part Advice to landlord: Take better care of the public spaces in the building, actually put money into the building to upkeep it and maintain it”
— 181 PRINCE STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Location is great Cons: mice and roach issue. first floor garbage room located within unit is infested Advice to landlord: attentive”
— 181 PRINCE STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Incred location (but dont misunderstand me, it is not worth that management company/super!!) Cons: We had mice and they did nothing about it, we had to get our own exterminator. The exterminator we did finally bring told us that the building had also stuck flammable wood under the radiator, and we were lucky the building had made it through the winters. We also had a leak on the ceiling over my bed for 9 weeks (2+ months) and the management company wouldn't fix it, rendering a room entirely unusable, and then wouldn't give us more than a few hundred dollars off our 5k rent, when 1/3 of the apt was unusable for 9 weeks (and the "super" verbally abused me and screamed at me every time he saw me). Run run run from this management company and the super. The whole building entrance/hallway was pitch black dark and stank of rancid trash 90% of the time, also. Advice to landlord: Replace the super and actually TAKE CARE of your tenants and answer calls.”
“Unit 4 Pros: Great location, nice neighbors, okay-ish super Cons: Spent 5-6 weeks without a working fridge because the owner and super didn't believe it was broken. Wasted hundreds of dollars of groceries bc they waited so long to replace, and then offered zero compensation for the wasted money. When given more than 120 days notice to renew lease, the mgmt and owner continuously said theyd send paperwork, then absolutely ghosted, and stopped responding even to questions about when we needed to be out of the apartment for the new tenants they presumably lined up without telling us. Completely unprofessional and ridiculous to leave your tenants without other arrangements by ghosting 3 weeks before the lease is up. Advice to landlord: Be upfront with people! If you don't want to renew the lease, say that in April when the renewal was requested.”
— 181 PRINCE STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Location, good overhead lighting Cons: There are mice in the building! I’ve seen with my own eyes and the garbage disposal is very badly managed. There’s also no lighting on the stairwell which is ridiculous. Also generally unclean hallways Advice to landlord: Put lighting on the stairwells and invest in some serious pest control.”
— 181 PRINCE STREET · Manhattan“Unit 12 Pros: Location. Friendly rent stabilized neighbors. Great hot water and water pressure. Cons: Dirty hallways. Generally not pro active management. Advice to landlord: Hallways and coming areas should be much cleaner.”
— 181 PRINCE STREET · Manhattan“Pros: great location and solid water pressure Cons: no responses ever from property manager, super won’t fix things. CRAZY rent increase”
— 181 PRINCE STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Location was good Cons: We had mouse infestation and cockroaches Building itself was a mess stairwell falling apart Lots of people airbnb’ing First floor unit was creepy and they ran a psychic business out of there Super was very rude Management was completely unresponsive Advice to landlord: Update your building and actually respond to your tenants”
— 181 PRINCE STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Live in super was great and even held packages for me. Amazing location that was quiet at night. A bit dark if you’re in the internal side. Cons: Unresponsive property owner. Packages stolen and I saw my open boxes in the trash… rodents on first floor (exterminator came but still…). Thin walls and door didn’t touch the floor… so I could hear my neighbors and the hallway. No peephole, my doorbell didn’t work.”
— 181 PRINCE STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Water pressure was fine, location was great Cons: It was always filthy in the stairway, it was always exceedingly difficult to get problems fixed, floors in apartment were a mess (they had said they were going to replace before we moved in but didn’t), painted over everything including outlets before we moved in, there was a roach problem, super was rude, mgmt was usually extremely difficult to even get ahold of, etc. I could write a book of all the cons of this place.”
