202 East 7 Street,

Manhattan, NY 10009

Located in EV, close to university

Mice, roaches, hoarders, constant flooding, impossible to contact property managers, dirty

Charge 1k less and hire a real exterminator

-bright and cheery— giant windows
-seriously, great natural lighting
-big bedroom (weird shape tho so can’t fit a queen)
-true 1BR
-exposed brick
-LOVE the street it’s on. Feels safe at night with the nightlife, yet quiet.
-finally almost mouse-proof’d the apt after several years of nonstop effort with no help from management or super.
-management says no dogs but many units seem to have them & nobody seems to care

-management beyond unresponsive about issues
-whole building has mouse and roach infestation, has for YEARS. Prepare to do battle á la Nutcracker to fortress yourself against mice
-had a stove with a low key gas leak 3 years. It was the first thing I fought to replace. Super gaslit me about the gas leak (the irony!) . After con-Ed threatened to force-evacuate all tenants they finally replaced it. Just learned this was supposed to be addressed before I even moved in because a lower floor unit caught on fire from it or something shortly before I moved in.
-when things go wrong and need repair (mice falling from ceiling, water falling from ceiling, packages getting stolen, no lock on door or smoke detector upon move in, no fridge for at least a month…) there is absolutely no rush to fix it.
-packages get stolen left and right.
-homeless wander into the building semi regularly, camp outside your door, and have tried to enter your apartment.
-locks on front doors regularly rigged to stay unlocked
-roof beyond busted and they won’t fix
-some units occupied by families that fight loudly all the way down the halls

Fix your mouse and roach infestation ASAP. Get a real exterminator, nobody signs up for the one you have because they’re zero help, give you one sticky trap and say good luck. We need HOLES FILLED. Structural issues repaired. If you did every unit once we’d be set. The fact this hasn’t been addressed properly for HOW long is appalling…

Get to be in East village

HUGE HUGE mice issue for the entire building. Can cover up every hole and a mice would still appear.

Pick up the phone and solve this mice issue

Decent rent, responsive super, good heating, and good water.

Building not in the best shape, consistent problems w/ vermin, trash management was a nightmare consistently across my time there.

Do proper site survey work when tenants move out and address long-term vermin access.

great location, decent layout for the price

cockroach infestation, unresponsive landlord

lower your current rent

It was located in a fun neighborhood and convenient to go to school.

1. There is a unmanageable mouse infestation in the building. My roommate and I killed 30+ mice (we counted) by ourselves and the exterminator just threw poison packets behind the oven. It doesn’t help that the building sits above a restaurant that leaves food garbage out often. There are also roaches everywhere and have been left squished in the hallway.
2. Water temp was backwards on all appliances.
3. There are tenants who get in drunken fights in the hallway, scream at each other as well as at least two apartments being occupied by hoarders, most likely exacerbating the mouse and roach infestation. Also massive property damage occurred from flooding multiple times.
4. Extremely passive aggressive superintendent who used to pretend to not receive our texts until we called the management company and complained multiple times.

Almost all tenants have been there decades and look after each other

You’ll never get your deposit back, if there is a problem you need to fix it yourself, they use a PO Box so you can’t take legal action against them

Take care of tenants that pay on time, and have lived there for almost a decade!

Close to Tompkins, bar next door isn’t too loud, garbage is convenient

Consistent mice problem, cleanliness in back is not great (probably due to garbage system), packages frequently stolen
