Stupid Super and Poorly Managed
Pros
It’s well placed, with lots of restaurants, pharmacies and a Trader Joe’s nearby. Madison Square Park is close. The apartment itself was nice.
Cons
The super barely knew which way was up and would happily let you go without if it meant he could do less work. Our fridge broke and instead of trying to quickly figure out the solution or even a rent deduction he simply suggested to “Put the food in a plastic bag and hang it out of the window. It’s cold outside.”. The trash area was right as you walk into the building and it was disgusting quite frankly. The super would disappear for weeks at a time and the replacement didn’t clear it. During Hurricane Ida a leak appeared in the roommate’s ceiling and the management did not send anyone out to fix the hole. We moved out with the hole intact. The neighbors would stamp around upstairs and scream constantly on their terrace downstairs. Needed renovation.
Advice to the owners
Hire people that want to work and manage the building better.
It’s okay here
Pros
Decent amount of space The super is amazing
Cons
Loud, dirty, the trash is right when you walk in so you have to walk by the trash each time you go into the building
