    Murray Hill Manor Review
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The staff was extremely nice and responsive, nice doormen.
    Cons:
    Pest issues (cockroaches). Scaffolding up that will most likely stay up for awhile.
    Over 1 year ago
    Excellent for the price
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    - Lots of space for the price
    - Great amenities: friendly doorman, rooftop, laundry small gym
    - Super is very responsive
    - Close to all the subways, restaurants, shops
    - Trader's Joe is right around the corner
    Cons:
    - The building is a bit old but nothing concerning
    Over 2 years ago
    Still sweet home
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Location is good for commute (subway, train and ferry) and food.
    Cons:
    3rd Ave is crazy noisy.
    Advice to owner:
    Maybe improve the sound proof to the crazy street noise.

    Old but decent property
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Location is great, the space is decent with lots of natural light.
    Cons:
    Bars across the street and 3rd Ave is pretty busy days and nights. Not for someone who can't bear street noises.
    Over 2 years ago
    Can find somewhere much nicer for this price
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Doormen are great and so friendly and always willing to help.
    Cons:
    Massive Cockroaches constantly coming up the sinks, even with pest control once a month. Was just told to “close my sinks at night” to avoid them.

    Management company doubled my rent. Understandable due to Covid pricing, but refused to even negotiate with me or give me any break below market value. They are actually asking me to pay higher than what they are getting for market value..

    Good choice for this location
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Very responsive super and handyman
    Cons:
    Some of the appliance is old and needs constant fixing
    Over 2 years ago
    Terrible serviced building
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Nice people living in the building and doormen
    Cons:
    Huge Cockroaches from the second I moved in and management did nothing. I called 311 and they finally called a exterminator. Doorman doesn’t like guests and take job too serious. Management had no remorse for rent due to Covid financial hardships
    Advice to owner:
    Treat your tenants how you’d want to be treated

    Management blackmail residents

    Cons:
    Bug issue, poor condition building, management blackmail residents
    Over 2 years ago
    Great building in Murray Hill
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Excellent service from doorman. Homely feeling
    Cons:
    Hallways are a little old, but how often are you in a hallway
