7 Cornelia Street,

Manhattan, NY 10014

Fantastic location. Small but well laid out apartments. Washer/dryer in some apartments plus laundry in basement. Excellent super (Pedro).

Occasional package theft from lobby, but nothing else major after change in previously inept and minimally responsive building management as well as noisy courtyard tenants having apparently moved out in past year.

Right in the heart of west village! renovated spot.

Really small space for a two bedroom.

None

- The super Pedro is incredible - the saving grace of this building and a great person

- This is the worst building I have lived in over 7+ years in NYC apartments (and multiple buildings)
- management was downright deceitful, evil, crooks (they have recently been replaced although to little improvement)
- the ground floor bar / restaurant (now closed) was having illegal RAVES from 11pm-7am multiple nights a week for over a year. The building was beyond aware and didn’t absolutely nothing. It was an unlivable (truly likely illegal) living situation and they couldn’t have cared less
- I cannot emphasize enough how utterly terrible these people were. It was shocking even for NYC. This building is not worth the cost.
- The area is no longer safe (stabbing on the street corner), rampant drug use on the front stoop, constant packages being stolen, etc.

- Elevator building
- Cute (but small) roof deck
- Pedro (the super) is an incredible guy, super responsive, very helpful, and just a wonderful person who has a LOT on his plate
- After many complaints, management finally put up a gate on the roof around the apartments with skylights
- Laundry in basement
- Ramen place (Menkoi Sato) on the ground floor is the best ramen you will ever have in your life

- Ancient elevator breaks all the dang time (even the elevator service guy said this elevator shouldn't even exist anymore)
- If you're in a top-floor apartment, get ready for roof leaks every time it rains
- If you have a skylight, be prepared for disrespectful people peeking in or hanging out in the closed-off area on the roof
- Packages get stolen all the time -- management's solution was to put up a sign in the elevator saying DONT BUZZ ANYONE IN THAT YOU DONT KNOW (like....really??) and to put up a small sign in the foyer that says "Package Room <-" which points to the elevator. What delivery person has the time to wait for a slow-af elevator to the basement then to go to the package room which is locked with a key fob? How are they even supposed to get in?
- With Washington Sq Park closing at night, lots of heroin users have migrated west to find quiet places to do their business. I regularly come home to someone shooting up on the stoop. Houseless people have been coming in to sleep on the roof. One crackhead was a regular and I'd run into him all the time in the elevator or trying to get into the building (he'd buzz any apartment and say "FedEx!" and get in that way). I have come home to heroin needles shoved in the front door to prop it open, and on too many occasions have found needles laying around.
- Lots of young NYU kids or fresh out of college kids in the building despite the +$4K rent. Mom and Dad are paying (I ran into someone's mom doing their kids' laundry for them in the basement) and they act accordingly.
- The heat is unbearable in the winter but if you have a street-facing apartment and want to leave your windows open...good luck getting any sleep. Recently one drugged-out dude has been (poorly) playing the trombone on the street corner for hours and hours, repeating the same song.

The new property owners (Pristine) are already way better than the old ones (Douglaston). My rent went up +48% in one year's time thanks to Douglaston despite horrible living conditions. Too little, too late though. Douglaston ruined a great building.

For goodness sake get a dang video intercom.

Good area
Helpful super
Rooftop deck

Non-responsive owner, only responds when providing money to them. Issues including rats, constant elevator failure, boiler breakage, package theft, etc. go unanswered

Fine building- the super is pretty responsive and the common areas are usually clean. Nice new roof set up

Management company is not responsive. Cockroaches which they have a pest company come monthly but you have to constantly contact the super to make sure he comes and it doesn’t really seem to be helping

Loved living here, super was great and always helpful. Mgmt was responsive and friendly young neighbors. Lift in an older building was great too.

Yes, it’s an older building but compared to similar available in the area this one is great. Also you’re living in the WV so they’re not oversized apartments, but certainly big for WV.

friendly neighbors, close to subways

The landlord is rude, deceitful and negligent. We lived in an apartment on the top floor of the building that had two big skylights. Before we moved in, we asked if anyone had access to the roof. They assured us that no one was allowed on the roof and we would have no privacy or safety issues. About a month after we moved in, I was sitting on the couch when I heard a noise-- I looked up, and there was someone staring at me through the big skylight. I'm sure you can imagine how terrified I was. How long was this person watching me for? Worse, what if this person decided to break in? I immediately emailed the property manager, and I received NO response. After my safety was threatened and I was completely violated, the property manager couldn't even be bothered to email me back. It took several emails and a phone call until I finally got in touch with them. They did little to resolve the solution-- they promised to put cameras on the roof (which they never did)-- and then told me they had plans to build a roof deck. Now, this is New York City. You can't just build a roof deck whenever you feel like it, you need permits and clearance. When I moved in (1.5 months prior to this) and asked about roof access, they knew that they would be building a roof deck and residents would have access to it-- in short, they lied. Who would rent an apartment with two huge skylights knowing that other people could go on the roof and look into the apartment? Not me, or any other woman even slightly concerned for her safety. We had several more people sneak into onto the roof and stare into our apartment. After more and more emails, begging them to respond, they finally agreed to release us from our lease. I've emailed them 10 times inquiring about our security deposit, but these people don't even have the decency to respond. DO NOT rent from these people-- they are dishonest, steal and have no concern for tenant safety.

Ensure tenant safety and return deposits

I had a good experience living here. The super Pedro is very responsive and helpful

Creepy basement, but what do you expect

The super is responsive to emergencies. Brand new rooftop. Elevator. Trash room. Package room. Friendly Mix of young and old neighbors.

Some Cockroaches. Tiny living space. Uneven floors. No air conditioning.

Very quiet, elevator, roof, laundry in building, trash an recycling, package room, amazing location

Not a lot of light, packages left in lobby stolen sometimes, issue with flies in summer, when we moved in a lot of things needed to be fixed (drain, lights, oven, radiator, etc.) Can’t control heat and gets very hot.

Make sure everything in the apartment works before someone moves in

Great location! Management and super were always responsive. Great size for the West Village

Sometimes there were issues with packages being stolen
