★★★★★Jun 2025

Pros: I am forever grateful to Ethan and ownership. I lived here for 3 years and through some particular rough times in my life. When my mother passed away and I had to go back home suddenly for about a week.. Ethan stopped by and fed my cat for me. The building as well is great. My bedroom was really large for NYC standards and the block is one of the more quite ones in Harlem. Cons: My upstairs neighbors were musicians and a bit noise but after talking to them things got better Advice to landlord: Garbage pickup twice a day not just once

Unit # 3 Pros: Mall is nearby Cons: No heat no hot water for weeks. Through me out and asked me not to have surgery for my eyes so I could move out. Kept my belongings after I left the day of my surgery. Cruel people who wouldn't give me my belongings when I was disabled they took advantage of me and sought to damage my health Advice to landlord: Be a decent person and stop manipulating people who pay you rent. You are a slumlord, and don't deserve tenants of decent caliper. Not everyone is as low as you and you owe people to be treated fairly. Not everyone is mentally challenged and even the challenged ESPECIALLY should NOT be scammed!

Pros: Classic New York style architecture, flooring, and paneling. Cons: Building and apartment were not cleaned. Middle room had no windows. Landlord, Ethan, is not only extremely unprofessional and rude but he will also coerce you into saving his ass in order to receive the money you are legally entitled to. After a fire we were entitled to receive our security deposit back in full within 30 days. Ethan refused to give me the money or respond to my messages. When I finally met with him to get the check he was extremely immature, petty, and forced me to text him a message excusing him of any wrong doing before he would give me the check. The way he conducted himself was shocking and he should not be in charge of any property. Advice to landlord: Stop continuing nepotism and fire this landlord.
