Continuous disappointment and water leak issues
Pros
Big apartments with good floor plans
Cons
Terrible management The washers & dryers are always out of order The super has extended family that lives on the basement level and they use all the washer/dryers PLUS their private washer dryers all day It’s impossible to get anything fixed The super threatened my roommate Terrible plumbing with constant leaks and issues
Advice to the owners
If the tenants aren’t permitted to have washer dryers in unit, but the super has a brand new washer dryer in a provate closet, the super’s family should not be permitted to use the communal washer dryers
Short term lease ONLY- do not agree to a lease over six months
Pros
The super does try- but most things are not up to standards.
Cons
Empire is an inferior management company. Due to overdue bills, Con Ed threatens to turn off gas/electric services to the building every 2-3 months. There is an increasing crime problem within apartments being broken into, tenant assault, and package theft. The building is filthy and often smells despite the super trying. The elevator is often broken, as is the front door to the building. FDNY has broken the front door twice in the last six months to provide an emergency exit for tenants. Multiple persons have overdosed or bled out in the entry vestibule. The laundry equipment is poorly maintained and usually takes extra funds to clean clothes properly.
Advice to the owners
Either start investing into the building or it will only continue to get worse for you.
