“Unit 21 Pros: quiet!! the super usually comes pretty quick but we never had major issues Cons: stairs are a hike depending on the floor you're on but you get used to it”
— 153 EAST 18 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: The building is well maintained for the price. Never dealt with pests inside. Cons: Had a difficult time getting ahold of the landlord + the trash situation attracted a bunch of rats.”
— 65 ST MARKS PLACE · Manhattan“Unit 24 Pros: Building is well maintained, they handle trash and clean the hallways every week. Cons: These studios were clearly large bedrooms that they chopped in half. The radiator is so warm that I sleep above my covers with the window wide open in the winter. I asked them for the measurements of my window to get a new screen and the response I got was "no". Raising my rent $200 for the new year and this apartment is not worth nearly that. Charges you too much money, and expects you to handle most things in your apartment.”

There's a beautiful tree right outside the window and the sunlight is great. Owner is pretty responsive in terms of repairs. Cons: The dust will never go away. You'll dust and then 20 mins later it's back. The floors are INSANELY creaky. All of my neighbors and I had serious issues with the pipes and plumbing and I had to get my toilet replaced and my sink fixed twice. Advice to landlord: Get entirely new pipes”

— 65 ST MARKS PLACE · Manhattan“Pros: My apartment was great. Good size, great light, good storage (closet and kitchen cabinets) Cons: Building itself could use an internal paint job, looks like it hasn't been touched in years. Landlord is a typical NYC landlord in that he does not value tenants and values money. Advice to landlord: Value loyal tenants”
— 153 EAST 18 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: At a great location Cons: Way too expensive. Same apartments with very different prices.”
— 65 ST MARKS PLACE · Manhattan“Pros: - Never had an issue with a neighbor - Inside the building was quiet, only rarely heard noise from other apartments - One time the bathroom above us flooded (an accident) and they were able to send over an emergency maintenance guy at 3 am - In two years, we’ve only had two mice ever, which is honestly impressive for the east village. Fill in all your cracks in the wall with steel wool, works like a charm keeping rodents away - Maintenance man is adorable and sweet Cons: - Small kitchen - Paint job and crown molding is old and has been painted over 4 million times and honestly looks like shit - A bit dusty - Street facing apartments on this block can get LOUUUDDD and I’m definitely not a baby about noise Advice to landlord: You guys did not offer any rent relief or support when COVID hit even though you honestly charge a ton for studio and one bedroom apartments and for that, I think you guys are jerks.”
