Great location, bad management
Pros
- Accessible to Central Park - Steps away from subway station - Has CitiBike station right outside - 10 minute walk from Whole Foods, Target, etc. - 15 minute walk from Trader Joe's - Exposed brick rooms - Modern appliances, including fridge, dishwasher, and wine fridge
Cons
- Extremely unresponsiveness management, could not get in touch with them whenever there was a problem (but they had no issues getting in touch with us as soon as they needed something). Sometimes we had to call multiple times a week to get in touch with the right person, who may or may not have been able to help - Consistent water damage, no action taken - No exhaust for stovetop - Fixtures kept breaking, poor quality -- had to replace all the lightbulbs (ALL!) on our own dime; some windows and doors had to be fixed by the management company which took over 1 month to get someone to look at it and another 1+ month to actually get it fixed - Superintendent changed about 4 times in the one year stay - Very small rooms - Limited storage in the apartment
Advice to the owners
Be more responsive and nice, perhaps you will find new tenants a lot faster rather than having to wait for months
Definition of Ambivalent
Pros
Superintendent is responsive and cares about his job. Porters clean common areas regularly
Cons
Management office slow to respond. Implemented package room without telling anybody. My unit was barely turned when I moved in (not cleaned, prior tenant’s belongings were still there). Expensive for what you get, even by nyc standards
Advice to the owners
Identify issues more proactively, make meaningful repairs not band aids
