    Awful complex on UES. 542 e 79
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Good location that’s about it !
    Cons:
    Worst place I have ever lived in….
    Management doesn’t care if you have loud neighbors!

    One neighbor plays drums for 10 hours a day.
    Another neighbor screams at night outside at all hours
    Advice to owner:
    Don’t move here ! Awful
    Over 3 years ago
    Worst landlords ever
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Cheap Rent
    Staff that work cleaning the trash/exterior are nice and very hard working.
    Cons:
    Roach and mice infested properties
    SW Management is Rude and unethical management company.
    Please note I was a tenant for 11 years and they did not provide security deposit back in a timely manner. I had to wait over 6 weeks to receive after contacting the management office numerous times I had to contact the NY Attorney General Office and City Council representative.
    Advice to owner:
    Return security deposit in a timely manner.
