Centennial Properties NY

Common areas cleaned often

Horrible management - doesn’t respond to calls / emails and never gave us back our security deposit when we moved out. Packages got stolen constantly and the trash room was disgusting so trash just constantly piled up right outside the entrance and management did nothing about it. The super is also extremely unresponsive even though he lives in the building. Don’t live here unless you want to be robbed and scammed

Stop being greedy and start caring about your tenants

There is an active tenants association.

Most units were demolished in 2015 and have been vacant since. These have plastic dust covers as you would see on a construction site. Maintenance is poor.

Clean regularly, hire exterminator service.

quiet area, cleaned regularly

Management takes a while to get back

Upgraded appliances, nice building, and nice super. Probably one of the nicest options when we were looking for an apartment - paid a little more than our budget, but it was worth for a nicer place.

Management is unresponsive when issues occur — takes multiple contacts to get them to do stuff. Lots of things broke, but thankfully the super was nice and took care of it (usually promptly)

Very pretty building with pretty back view of community garden. Well designed unit. I worked with an incredible broker named Mary at centennial properties. Highly recommend her. And Larry to the super in the building at the time is also incredible.

I don't have any! Management definitely had a lot of turnover so it was often confusing and a little frustrating, but they always fixed things eventually. And nothing in my apartment was ever an actual emergency so I didn't mind. The heaters in the bedroom at the back of the apartment in my unit (most windows) didn't heat up very well but that's because of the little radiators and not something they can actually fix.

Find some way to heat the back bedroom better, otherwise satisfactory ! Mary and Larry and great!

Friendly super and clean building

Old building so can be noisy with doors opening and closing
MANAGEMENT IS HORRIBLE, unresponsive
They have withheld our security deposit for over 45 days with no response

hire better employees that can reply to emails and pick up the phone

Supers were responsive.

We have still not received our security deposit even though we vacated the unit over 2 months ago. Basement laundry also had a roach problem, likely from proximity to the courtyard where trash is thrown. Tenants never put garbage in the bins, so that area gets gross

Return security deposits

Great location, safe, easy and clean garbage area, well-maintained walk up and lobby area, no issues with packages or mail.

Our individual unit has issues and we have had NO response from Blueground. The phone just disconnects every time you call and they don't respond to messages in the app or emails.

Blueground - respond to your tenants!!!

Unbeatable location, wide stairways, cheap laundry in building

Elevator broke multiple times while living here and twice tenants had to jump out when the elevator was stuck between floors. ConEd threatened to turn off the heat in common areas (hallways) multiple times due to the management company not paying their gas bills. Packages were repeatedly stolen. We had mice under our dishwasher and were told there was no way to plug the hole. We still haven’t received our security deposit two months after lease end despite filling out the form on where to send the deposit and multiple emails and texts to the management company.

Nice walkup, in a very good location with easy access to east village but also the rest on NYC with trains close by

Hot water didn't work for a few weeks, neither did AC with slow responses from building management

A virtual doorman, current super

Non-responsive management, especially unreachable by phone, constantly revolving staff and contacts not up-to-date, pests in the walls and mice/cockroaches in the units, frequently no hot water/heat due to freaking old boiler, no access to building by key (only virtual doorman), and understaffed garbage maintenance.

If any one of the cons listed could be resolved, that would be awesome.

stairs & entry well were clean and well kept, virtual doorman

loud, some nyu students living there. consistent smoking problem that would fill my unit.

Good layout, nice hallways, laundry and dishwasher in unit

Floor was kinda slanted but doable

- great modern appliances
- never had a single pest issue
- nice, open rooftop for all tenants
- near fun bars in the LES and East Village
- elevator!

- no sunlight in the living room
- one bedroom gets little to no sunlight

I was in apt 6a with roommates. Amazing views on the roof, fun living area.

We had a leaky roof that they “fixed” like 10 times but it kept coming back. Also, don’t pay extra for the loft room. More space, yeah, but the lack of wall really sucks.

Fix your roof

Building is kept clean, neighbors arn't too loud, pest control comes once a month so never had issues there.

Management company are non responsive and can not keep their $ straight. They illegally took double rent out of my roommate's account without permission because they could not keep their ledger straight despite us clearly stating we have always paid on time.

Train employees to be far more customer centric.

The layout was nice and the price was okay for Manhattan but not a steal by any means

Worst management company ever. Infested with bed bugs, roaches, mice, fleas, bad tenants and constant maintenance issues. Horrific place to live

Quit your job and do anything else you slum lord

Great maintenance staff, renovated apartments

Like living in a frat house on the weekends

good location for young people. renovated interior. bathrooms are nice too

small and a bit overpriced

Typically very quiet in and around the building

Maintenance appointments/requests are missed or just not responded to 90% of the time.

Biggest con was 3 separate apartment floods due to poor building maintenance. Since the roof was not maintained, heavy rainfall caused an actual downpour of water into my apartment 3 times over the course of 6 months. I had to take care of this myself and only received reimbursement after withholding rent. Many of my belongings were damaged and thrown away.

Have not had a problem with that in about a year, but still something to always be frightful of when leaving the city for any extended period of time or just in general.
