Slow responsiveness means bad apartment
Former Tenant
Pros:
Great location, very close to almost every train in Manhattan. Very pretty looking apartments.
Cons:
Responsiveness from the super was slow. Had many days without hot water. Also had many days without heat in the winter. All without word from the super or property manager.

Horrible. Landlord cares about one thing: Money.
Former Tenant
Pros:
Location was great. Only 5 Apartments in the building.
Cons:
No on-site super
Never met the landlord or super in person
Of the 5 apartments, two neighbors kept to themselves (one got busted by the DEA while I lived there, which was nice), one neighbor was always nice, and one apartment was always rented out to the absolute worst tourists through Airbnb.
South (rear)-facing apartments have constant loud white noise from the exhaust fan of the Brazilian restaurant below.
Heat was always broken, or extremely hot (radiator showing temps of 250°+). My windows stayed open all winter long, and even that wasn’t enough to keep the temperature manageable sometimes.
Because of the location on Restaurant Row with the entire first floor taken up by a restaurant, trash is kept in the entryway, which can become smelly and cumbersome.
Front doors were always broken, not closing or latching properly. Not sure if this has been fixed, but the front door is still the same one from when I lived there.
After announcing that I would not be renewing my lease (with plenty of notice) the landlord would always try to show the apartment with less than a few hours’ notice, while I was at work and my pet dog was loose inside. When I refused to allow the apartment to be shown without more adequate notice, my security deposit would be threatened.
My security deposit was ultimately returned to me more than 60 days after my lease ended, after threatening legal action.
Advice to owner:
Do better. You’re squandering a great location.

Stay away, or call 311 daily
Former Tenant
Pros:
Emmm location? Close to Times Square and all subway lines
Cons:
-the worst landlord. Never returned a copy of the lease with his signature! Never took care of the problems. -there was no heat and not hot water in winter 2019, his response? “The company is in the way” the company was a super who didn’t not know how to fix the boiler. I submitted 12 complaints to 311 -there was a water leakage from the ceiling in the bathroom, the water was coming through a light fixture like a rain. The response? “It’s just neighbors upstairs showering and being reckless” To my concern that this is a fire hazard he just laughed. -mice!!! You live above a restaurant, so it is inevitable. The solution? Two one dollar glue pads in the middle of the apartment. I had to purchase my own expensive traps and caught 5 rodents. -the restaurant downstairs always messed up the water or the heat for the entire building. One time they shutdown cold water, all we had for the day was boiling hot water in July. -I moved out and notified the landlord AFTER I did, I also did not pay my last month and told him to keep the security deposit.
Advice to owner:
People pay you money, you are obligated by law to provide adequate living conditions.
