“Pros: Great location in the WV Cons: Pest control was a huge problem. I could regularly hear mice in the walls.”
— 148 WEST 10 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Weekly cleaning of lobby area and pest control offered on the second Saturday of each month** Cons: **BUT the building expects you to email them to then have them tell the exterminator knock on your door so you can be serviced. As a result, most units go unserviced for months and summer months bring massive roaches. The management company has people assigned to oversee this property who are curt, unhelpful & who do not follow up.”
— 48 GREENWICH AVENUE · Manhattan“Pros: The best location in the middle of west village, Greenwich village, and Chelsea! Close to everything and anything. Was strongly considering staying at the property but ended up moving to a new neighborhood. Maintenance people were friendly and kept garbage and hallways clean. And refinished stairs are nice. Neighbors were friendly. Outdoor garden is gorgeous. Cons: Front door would stick open when it rained. Apartment leaked a lot- many times from enclosed fireplace and once from upstairs neighbors air conditioner. Was impossible to get the super to respond so had to go to property owner or company in order to get a response- pretty sure super blocked me. Biggest con was the pests- I was in a ground floor apartment but it was still wild. Walls and floors are not properly sealed at all. First was cockroaches but they were easy to get rid of. The spiders and centipedes however were RELENTLESS. I am unfortunately well versed in handling bugs and pest control but this was beyond my expectations. They made me wish I was only dealing with cockroaches- not a day passed where I didn’t find a spider or centipede hiding somewhere. I think the cockroaches were actually doing me a favor eating these other bugs for me. The bugs were there well before I arrived living under the floorboards and in the walls, and I’m sure they’re still there now. Dead or live bugs were also frequently seen in the basement as well Advice to landlord: Super needs to actually respond and handle maintenance requests and building needs to be better sealed and treated against pests”
— 231 WEST 13 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Amazing location and good construction Cons: Rodents were rampant and the building did not respond to the issue despite several attempts. Advice to landlord: Must work on garbage and pest management. Also, please be more responsive and empathetic to tenants.”
— 48 GREENWICH AVENUE · Manhattan“Pros: Amazing location, nice appliances, quiet, beautiful courtyard view Cons: Garbage management is horrendous, with a dirty trash room that stinks up the building and attracts mice’s and roaches Advice to landlord: Enforce proper garbage disposal (ie placing trash in bins and replacing lids) and give the trash room a deep clean, as well as keeping it clean. Building should be mopped once in a while too”
