493 2 Avenue

Recent reviews of 493 2 Avenue, Manhattan, consistently highlight serious management and maintenance issues, including unresponsiveness and negligence from the super and building staff. Tenants report persistent pest problems with rats and roaches, poor garbage handling, and frequent noise disturbances due to thin walls and a noisy neighborhood. Heating and water pressure quality vary, often below expectations. Despite a good location and decent appliances, these positives are overshadowed by safety concerns, ongoing disturbances, and a lack of building upkeep. Renters widely advise against leasing here unless significant improvements in management and maintenance occur.
