325 East 21 Street,

Manhattan, NY 10010

Amazing location, feels pretty safe especially being across from a middle school
I saw a few bugs in my room but never had any issues with roaches/mice

Hallways and stairs were not well kept
The garbage disposal area is not well kept either, saw a rat once but not sure how well that can be avoided since it’s outside
Appliances in our specific apartment were really dated but I don’t think that’s the case for all units

Quiet neighborhood
Central to all downtown neighborhoods walking distance to many trains and busses
The best area

Small rooms and living room

Large living room space, natural light in some rooms, good water pressure

Very outdated pipe system, toilet and shower constantly getting clogged. Heat is so hot in the winter it’s unbearable sometimes.

Good location, maintenance is responsive.

Packages constantly get stolen.

- The heat is nice in the winter
- Quiet when it’s a working night
- Responsive to maintenance requests
- The person who plays the piano every so often

**Solely on neighbors
- The walls are so thin you can hear your neighbors doing intimate things
- Stomping
- Neighbors have no decency for other people’s belongings and space

Please vet people carefully especially where they lived last because new people are driving good, older tenants out!

Close by to SVA and plenty of restaurants

Walk-up building
No laundry in building

None thank you

Nice building which was relatively clwan

Big mice and garbage property

Better garbage management

Never had any pest issues in the actual unit

The management company that runs this building is awful and specially, Sol Eiferman. He is a slumlord who will rip you off and take your money. Do not live here or on any of Matel’s properties. Management was very unresponsive, there was rampant theft in the building, the building was disgusting and never cleaned. It felt like a frat house- very young tenants and little to no oversight from management, so therefore tenants left trash and food in the hallways, their discarded belongings they no longer want in the lobby ect. There is supposedly a live-in super but in the year that I lived here I never once met him or was aware of his identity, where he lived ect. and he did not fulfill normal duties. The trash area had rats and swarms of flies, it was unbearable to take the trash out.

Be more considerate of your tenants and actually manage your buildings.

Location, even though it's not even in the best spot. You are across the street from a middle school, so maybe if you really love the smell of Axe Body Spray this is your dream home.

Neighbors - this might as well have been a frat house. Theft - could not get packages delivered. Complete unresponsiveness from management. Building looks like its falling apart inside. Cracked tile in apartment, no response.

Stop renting to children.

Neighborhood is nice

Poorly managed, landlord is completely unresponsive when things break, super smokes cigarettes in the hallways, walls are SUPER thin

Hire a new management company

Most issues are resolved quickly when they finally decide they should do something.

As of now, one unit has nightly get togethers and yells until the break of dawn. Sol Efferman cannot be assed to do anything unless completely and utterly required to and even then will put up a fight. Packages are frequently stolen and absolutely nothing is done.

What few amenities there are need to be SIGNIFICANTLY updated for the rent to be even remotely justified. Sol could pick up the act considering nobody I've talked to has had nice things to say, including the people in the building nextdoor.

Extremely affordable , great bathroom and decent sized bedrooms with good light. Complimentary Exterminator once a month .

The walls are incredibly thin , I can hear my neighbors conversations word for word. (Almost every neighbor has a high pitched 18 year old girl scream and giggle, ITS THE WORST) Most of the tenets are very young & loud . This is basically a glorified dorm and there is a huge problem with package theft.

Better video surveillance in the lobby and mail area.Also better insulation in walls and unit doors.

Responsive management company. Compared to the other 4 places I’ve rented in nyc, it was the lowest maintenance

Unit isn’t particularly nice bright or spacious. No amenities. Oven is a half oven
