lovely building run by slumlords
Pros
The views and architecture are amazing
Cons
The O'Connell Organization, who run the building, are immoral and irresponsible landlords with no respect for their tenants. They charge astronomical rents, refuse to repair or repaint anything, and retain all security deposits. The building is infested with bugs and rodents.
Advice to the owners
Hire someone else to run you building
Horrible building management
Pros
The building has a beautiful view in a wonderful neighborhood
Cons
The building management is the worst we’ve ever encountered in all our years in NYC. They are mean, overbearing, and have 0 respect for tenants. At first we thought it might have been just us, but after living in the neighborhood for years, we’ve heard nothing but countless horror stories with seemingly no redeeming attributes.
Advice to the owners
Fire everyone in your office and start over again with people who actually care about the tenants.
