    Valid building, extremely unresponsive leasing company
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Responsive and nice super, pretty quiet and can’t hear neighbors, clean hallways
    Cons:
    The management/leasing company is nearly impossible to get in contact with. They are frankly awful. There is also mold in our apartment and there is no way to contact management to get it checked out. They only contact you when they want you to resign lease and often are delayed to even share that information with you.
    Advice to owner:

    Avoid Eric borkowski 55th worst landlord
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Location is nice.
    Cons:
    Avoid Citi urban and Eric borkowski. Eric is the worst human being, he will kick you out if you have a newborn just for a dollar. Possibly one of the worst management companies and landlord ever. For the upper east side this property looks like you are in bushwick in the 70s. Nothing is ever done, nor gets fixed. The toilet was never fixed. The first floor tenant had bedbugs. They can't even do a simple paint job. They paint over the outlets so you can't even use them all. The hallways always have mice around 2:30 am. They want to renew my lease with a 40% increase which is unheard of. Top it all off with them forcing me out on to the streets because they won't accept the monthly rent.
    My three neighbors lost their deposit. They had left the building and after months, still not have seen a penny.
    Advice to owner:
    Sell your properties, let someone else do a job you clearly don't know how to.
