62 East 7 Street,

Manhattan, NY 10003

Amazing location between 1st and 2nd avenue; good light in front and back bedrooms

Landlord is crazy. She entered our apartment without permission, took our mail key and went through our mail, and screamed at us like a banshee whenever we had people over (which was always within a reasonable hour and noise constraint.) the building would sometimes not turn on the heat and it was freezing. Kitchen appliances and set up is abysmal.

New landlord, upgrade appliances

The long term residents are sweet and kind, the apartments are massive. Definition of an East Village pre-war building.

The building is not maintained. The roof leaks, there’s paint peeling, the common areas smell like ass and are never swept. The trash you put on the sidewalk is sometimes taken back inside and stored in the halls for weeks. New rules and regulations crop up every few months (for example you can only take your trash out between the hours of 4-8pm), the landlord’s daughter who lives in the building regularly harasses younger tenants, she’s chased one down the street with a broom before and clutched scissors while yelling at another in the stairwell, not allowing him to leave the building.
