The unit looks nice. The floors are good and kitchen appliances work.

The building management is terrible. A few examples:

To start with a big one: they didn't register the unit with the city. In order for my power to be connected, ConEd had to send somebody out to look at the meter and connect the dots that my unit was connected to a different number on the meter. The management team didn't help with that process; I handled it myself after they told me they didn't understand and it wasn't their issue. This was the week I moved in (no power for a full week).

They changed the locks without notice when I was out of town for the weekend, so when I came back at 10pm on a Sunday I couldn't get into the building. This happened twice.

There is no building super or anybody directly responsible for handling building issues. To reach the management team, you need to call the main building management corporate line. Then you get redirected twice to the team responsible for the building. Once you reach that team, they're clueless about the building and are annoyed that you're calling (to fix a broken toilet or stop the apartment flood, for example).

When my apartment flooded on a rainy weekend, they were not available to help since it was the weekend.

The walls are paper thin or there's a gap between the divider; it sounds like the neighbors are playing music inside my place and vice versa. The neighbors were great about it and we had an agreement that we'd always turn music down if the other side was working, but it was as if there were no walls between our units.

The building management team gave me a 30 minute window on my move-out day and told me they'd charge me if I didn't meet that window. It's in the morning directly in the middle of when the movers will be moving out my things.

Be better, man.
