201 East 4 Street,

Manhattan, NY 10009

The neighbors are nice. All college-aged kids. The color of the cabinets were pretty.

Title says so much but there's so much more. The area is pretty sketchy. The virtual doorman doesn't work so the super gives out the master code to everyone. This means people will sneak in and steal the packages. I once watched a man walk in the building with an empty backpack and walk out with a full backpack ten minutes later. I checked and all of the packages were shredded open. The trash room is disgusting. There are cockroaches everywhere because there is no proper garbage disposal. The laundry room is a joke. There isn't even a way to fill your card with money to use them in the first place. But even if there was, I would never use the laundry machines because of how dirty and outdated they were. There are "3" bedrooms but only one of them has a dark window that has pretty much zero light. The bathrooms constantly leak and I've seen at least 5 spiders. One of my roommates had water leaking from her ceiling for three days before the super bothered to show up. The courtyard is nothing like it was pictured online. It is instead used as a trash room by all the residents. There are constantly college parties there. Now, for the grand finale. My roommates and I were robbed twice and assaulted once in this building. Both times, the robber entered via the front door in the middle of the night. We lost $2,000 worth of items. After lying to us that they had not distributed the master codes to the virtual doorman, management preceded to tell us they had also lied about having a functioning security camera in the lobby. We were three (not even 20) young girls. This was our first apartment ever. Our parents were scared to death. I think it's very clear that I recommend that you do not live here.

You know what you can do better but you don't.

Location is great, off of the main street, quiet
Building is kept clean
Neighbors are nice
Super is responsive and helpful

The trash disposal being through the basement
The laundry machines being in the basement

Good location, nice bathrooms, super was responsive and quick. Felt fairly safe.

The management is terrible. Connected to Jared Kushner so… took FOREVER to get back our security deposit until we threatened them. Not friendly or helpful. Sketchy company. Also they said we had a three bedroom, but only one bedroom had a window, so it’s illegally marketed as a 3 bedroom but it was really a 1 bedroom. Lots of rats outside. Super loud at night because they fight and scream. Unreal gross backyard. Hated going out there to put trash out. Also the laundry room was so gross as well. People opened my mail and stole stuff. TINY room, like all it could fit was my full size bed. Literally. And then we had issues with our floor and they fixed it for a few weeks, making us lose access to our living room.

Be kind to your tenants and clean the place ip

Area is safe
Super is responsive

Packages stolen
Cleanliness issues
Laundry doesn't work

Fix the laundry and add cameras/virtual doorman

The virtual doorman function and passcode to enter the building is useful and nice. Kitchen and bathrooms are up to date. Location is nice. Living room space is big and full of light. Closet has built in shelves.

Don’t expect response from management. Garbage is a mess and you can watch rats go to it in the backyard from your window. Don’t ever expect to use the backyard for anything besides smoking. Neighbors are horrendous and have ragers in said backyard - had to call 311 on them a few times because owner doesn’t care. Packages are always stolen. Laundry room is never cleaned, found mold in the washer. Two “bedrooms” do not have windows and should not legally be called a bedroom. oh there was a constant leak in the bathroom vent of im sure sewer water. Nats we’re constantly in the bathroom due to lack of ventilation. Bedrooms only fit a queen bed nothing else don’t expect to fit anything else. Fridge is also too small for three people - constantly fought with roommates about this. AC units were very dusty and have not been cleaned for at least a few years.

Listen to your tenants. I hope karma bites you in the ass and you aren’t able to market these units as three bedrooms anymore at this ridiculous price.
