Poorly Managed - Think Twice?
Pros
We were new to the city and country - this building was the only one willing to lease to tenants without social security or credit.
Cons
Simply poor management. It took many months to process a simple registration process, and the air conditioners that were promised by the realtors were never installed.
nice apartment, lousy management
Pros
It's on Roosevelt Island, which is a great place to live. The renovated apartments are nice and spacious and light, and many have great cross ventilation.
Cons
The water has cut off with no notice several times. Last spring it cut out on and off for two months. At least one of the two elevators is often out of service. The laundry rooms are filthy and all of the machines are never working all at once. The management office staff are rude.
Advice to the owners
Hire more maintenance staff and advise them that they need to be polite to the tenants, same for the office staff.
