    Comfy, clean, minimal problems!
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Great super, nice neighbors and a pretty courtyard.
    Cons:
    Rare mouse issue, quickly fixed by super and pest control. Has not been a problem since. Actual owners are total flakes, and never respond to a single message without being prodded 300 times.
    Advice to owner:
    Be a little more attentive of tenants please

    Terrible Management Company
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Super is a good guy but that’s about it
    Cons:
    They don’t have the money to pay for the necessary resources to maintain this building. They are cheap. They pay one superintendent to manage all four building. He does his best but there’s no way he can manage 100+ apartments. It took a year to get a working microwave. The washer/dryer has been out for almost six months. There are mice and roaches in and around the building. The trash system is unhealthy and disgusting. It’s like the bare minimum is the bar for NYC landlords.
    Advice to owner:
    Pick up the phone or email back. It’s so disheartening and disrespectful especially when kids are involved.

    Good Super, decent owners
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The Super stays on top of the building maintenance. No one steals packages from mail area.
    Cons:
    No luxury amenities. No storage, no parking, etc. what they do have is done well enough.
    Advice to owner:
    Make the side of the property a parking area.
    Over 3 years ago
    Run away from this place
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The super is very nice
    Pet friendly building
    Cons:
    It’s a prewar that’s crumbling and the renovations they do are laughable
    The management company is impossible to reach for anything
    Health hazard because the building is infested with mice and roaches
    Advice to owner:
    Your investment property is falling apart and depreciating. Hire legal contractors for repairs.

    -love the finishes and quality of apartments
    -love the area
    Cons:
    -management unresponsive
    -super just tells you hill fix it, sends someone to look at it and poof another week goes by
    -ground floor unit is developing a cocaroach issue
    Advice to owner:
    Please make your super more responsive and attentive to tenants. And don’t raise the rent next year like every other landlord. Gonaa have a bunch of vacancies.
