If I could give pest management and responsiveness zero stars, I would.
Former Tenant
Pros:
It had a good location and the apartments themselves are decent. It has an elevator and laundry room.
Cons:
Building management completely ignores pest reports. There was a bed bug infestation that they weren’t managing at all, and our apartment got bed bugs multiple times. And they ignored the concern completely, forcing us to have to pay for treatment.
The negatives so far outweighed the positives. By the end, living there was a nightmare and just thinking about that place gives me hives.
Advice to owner:
Actually do the job you’re legally required to do.

Well maintained compared to buildings in area
Former Tenant
Pros:
Located across from St Nicholas Park. Plenty of nice green space. Good location for public transportation. Reasonable rent for Manhattan.
Cons:
Building is in good condition for what’s in the neighborhood. Score reflects a broader comparison. The location atop a hill is more of a draw back
Advice to owner:
Renovated lobby. Make use of package lockers.

don't move in here!
Former Tenant
Pros:
Neighbors are super friendly, quiet neighborhood, laundry on-site
Cons:
management/landlord is non-existent. super works business hours and shuts phone off after 5pm. nothing gets fixed despite numerous 311 calls. CONSTANT PACKAGE THEFT. heat & hot water is hit or miss. they tried to get tenants to move out so they could sell the building and/or renovate apts for higher rent. We had nothing that we as tenants are legally entitled to. and not even a lawsuit could change this!!
Advice to owner:
at least pretend like you care about the people that pay you???

Caution
Former Tenant
Pros:
Building tends to be pretty quiet
Cons:
Year round: management responsiveness, package theft, roaches, pests, weak water pressure, allergies (I had allergies before moving in but they intensified a lot. Probably driven by fact that it’s a pre-war building) Winter: low to no heat (very unpredictable)

Terrible conditions
Former Tenant
Pros:
The best part is the location, and neighbors. Incredibly grateful to the Residents Council who tries to keep management accountable and organizes events such as Christmas decorating in the lobby.
Cons:
The number of heat violations is staggering, the owner and super are extremely unresponsive, issues go unaddressed for months if not longer. Also, it's very strange that the laundry and trash of the building closes at 8pm and the elevator does not go to the basement floor after 8pm everyday.
Advice to owner:
Please take your tenants' concerns seriously, especially regarding heat. Thank you!

Unresponsive and neglectful building management
Former Tenant
Pros:
Quiet street and neighborhood. Tree lined location near a park. Street parking is relatively easy to find.
Cons:
Terrible building management. Tenants without adequate heat. No effort by the management to resolve issues. Management does not respond to emails or 311 complaints. Required ongoing legal action. Unsafe. Package theft with no effort to resolve the issue.
Advice to owner:
Please do not ignore your residents.

Building Review
Former Tenant
Pros:
Location is in an ideal spot.
Cons:
The building is filled with bugs and rodents. Management never answers and never fixes problems promptly. They only call when they need something, ie you’re moving out and need the apartment to be showed.
Advice to owner:
Property owner needs to answer tenants. The entire time I was there I could never get anyone on the phone.
