A Great Long-Term Place to Live in NYC
Former Tenant
Pros:
I've lived in the building for about four years and the apartments are very spacious and reasonably priced since it's condos. I also like the location between 2nd and 3rd aves and as it overlooks the quiet street of 91st, it feels very residential and community vibes.
Cons:
It can be very challenging to rent through an owner - it requires extra approval for repairs and the apartments are old and not the best maintained (which could lead to pest problems and general appliances breaking down more frequently).

Don't buy or rent Ruppert Yorkville Towers
Former Tenant
Pros:
Cheap rent & cheap property value
Cons:
This RY building is DEFECTIVE. The metal pipe that protects electric wires inside walls performs as a "water drain" in case of flood. When flood occurs in 20th floor, for example, the water will immediately flow through these "electric conduit pipes" and start damaging all lower floors one after another (19th, 18th, 17th, and so forth). Your hardwood floor, furniture, and stuffs will get damaged. You can even get "ELECTROCUTED". These pipes can also flow toxic gases in case of fire. RY management and their attorneys know and hide this "dirty secret" in order to maintain the building value while residents are unknowingly taking risks living in the building. Just ask the "Maintenance Director" or "Super". They know this secret more than anybody else. There is an "inspection report" regarding RY building defects prepared by Engle Martin & Associates in Aug 2018. Go check it!
Advice to owner:
Don't Buy!
