Steer clear of this building and this landlord
Former Tenant
Pros:
Renovated units are aesthetically pleasing, neighborhood is beautiful and street is quiet.
Cons:
Do not, under any circumstances, move in to this building. You can find a very similar apartment for less $ that will cause you far less of a headache. Moving into this unit was the worst mistake we’ve made in our NYC renting history. We have never spoken to the landlord, but the management company he hired is the worst, most incompetent, we’ve ever dealt with. We did not (and to this day still don’t) have cooking gas or reliable hot water for the 6 months we’ve lived here. They illegally connected the hot water to the rent controlled neighbors’ gas line in an attempt to harass them out of the building to renovate the units and raise the rents. They did not even attempt to do the gas or hot water the right way until the tenants got together, sought 311 and legal action, and started getting the landlord fined for their misuse of the natural gas lines. The head of the management company, Zach Spira, asked us to lie to other tenants about any rent concessions or help he gave us to mitigate the problem. The management company is unresponsive unless you call, email, and text them 5+ times for any given issue. Whenever someone at the management company goes on vacation, leave, or religious holiday, they don’t have any sort of backup/24/7 line in case of emergencies. The basement of the building floods every time it rains a little bit, and is filled with insects and other vermin. The brokerage, Nooklyn, will tell you that this is a great building, and they continued to move people in to the building when the building was under city and legal action. Seriously, save yourself a world of hurt and DO NOT LIVE HERE.
Advice to owner:
Hire a new management company, and attempt to follow city law when it comes to dangerous and illegal tampering of gas lines.
