“Pros: Apartment is spacious and price was OK. Location is good, very close to train, grocery store, good walking trail nearby Cons: Not enough cabinets in otherwise spacious kitchen. Super is not very responsive, have to pester him and management company usually to get things done.”
— 1026 ST NICHOLAS AVENUE · Manhattan“Pros: Location is right next to C line, laundry, and grocery. Apartment is spacious. Tall ceilings and windows. Cons: Lobby and stairwells are disgusting. Roaches everywhere. Packages get stolen all the time. Our front door had holes in the frame. Radiator in living room doesn’t work. Pipes blew a hole in the bathroom ceiling. Toilet never worked right. Management is difficult to contact. Advice to landlord: People live here- at least act like you’ll try to make it inhabitable. It’s embarassing”
— 1026 ST NICHOLAS AVENUE · Manhattan“Pros: It is a standard NYC apartment building. You know what to expect. There are no additional benefits. Everything is decent upon move in. Cons: If you need anything, drafty windows, leaks in your bathroom ceiling, broken heaters fixed, then you are out of luck. Unless you can pay the super under the table. Advice to landlord: Pay your super a living wage to manage just ONE building with 48 units. Our current super has to work many buildings to keep a living wage.”
— 1026 ST NICHOLAS AVENUE · Manhattan“Pros: Location is great, love the neighborhood, and the unit is a good size. The finishes are also decent Cons: The heat is so variable in the winter, I think it kicks in only when people complain and call 311. The management and super are so mediocre....management doesn't care about things that need fixing, and the super is flakey when scheduling repairs. Advice to landlord: Give a shit when people email you about things that are wrong in your building.”
