The worst place ever
Pros
The location and price were great
Cons
Management sucks. Seriously. The buildings is really breaking down and management blames you. I had over $3000 worth of furniture/linens/rugs damaged by a leak and they didn't show up to fix the leak for several days. the heat never worked, there were mice EVERYWHERE (even after the exterminator came several times). A window just fell out once and glass shattered everywhere
Advice to the owners
condemn the building
Communication is slow
Pros
Great neighborhood (the heart of East Village) The amount of rent I paid ($1500 per room per month in a 2b2b) is reasonable in this neighborhood. It’s an old building so it’s understandable that sometimes during the winter we might have heat problems. Usually when it happens the manager is on top of it and will get it fix right away.
Cons
Super lives in the same building but can’t speak English (only Spanish) so it’s hard for me to communicate with him when needed. The building has no doorman and I’ve had issues receiving packages (1-2 times in 2 years).
Advice to the owners
Be more patient with tenants.
