Loved it; subletted so minimal experience w mgmt
Pros
- Amazing location, right by the subway, busses, grocery store, bookstore, cafes, etc. - The street is extremely family-friendly and welcoming. Neighbors know each other by name; many of them have been on this block for decades
Cons
Roach issue - my apt had quite a few, mgmt sent exterminator and it helped, but keeps coming back. I've seen roaches in the hallways as well Windows need a cleaning for the entire building, which mgmt needs to do because residents can't open it themselves Charging too much rent for what the apartment actually is slow to make repairs - a large hole in the hallway wall outside my apt was open for 7+ months before they fixed it. The street is quite loud, a bit with traffic noise but mostly from the train at the end of the block and otherwise with normal neighborhood sounds (kids playing, parents calling for them, dogs barking, etc).
Good quiet for Hells Kitchen
Pros
Its on a quiet street compared to the rest of HK, neighbors are also quiet and friendly. Overall appliances and apartment itself is in good shape they do extermination often never experienced any bugs
Cons
They do not get back to you quickly for maintenance responses 3-5 days and they never answer the direct line phone number which can be frustrating if you wanted something done asap. The main hallway and stairs can also be cleaner a needs to be more maintained
Advice to the owners
Be more attentive to renters especially in maintenance requests also common areas need to be attended and cleaned more often, there are far too many people living in the building to only surface level clean here and there
