Terrible property managers
Pros
Great location. East facing apts have no obstruction of view. New appliances, free laundry.
Cons
Management is awful and misogynistic. Will mansplain to you what “on” means. Boiler is in need of replacing but they keep fixing it so they don’t have to pay for it.
Advice to the owners
Treat your tenants like you’d treat your own family/children. Replace the boiler
Not great... but not any worse than most buildings
Pros
- Quiet, safe block - Renovated finishes combined with pre-war charm - New appliances - Dishwasher - Washer/dryer - My unit has incredible natural light - better than anyone else I know paying a similar price in Manhattan
Cons
We've had consistent heat and hot water problems. In Fall/Winter 2023 alone I think maintenance came to "repair" the boiler an upwards of 6 times... which is a sign we probably just need a new boiler. With that being said, if I emailed management about heat going out, they would typically respond within minutes and have someone here within hours. Another con is old, uninsulated windows. They let in lots of outside air even when shut, making it hard to regulate temp (whether it be winter or summer). They also let in sounds from outside, so even though this block is quiet compared to the rest of the neighborhood, if someone is screaming outside the building at 2am, you will hear it loud and clear from the comfort of your bed. Also, one small thing to note is that there is a tenant on the second floor who chain smokes in their unit (is this legal?). The smell seeps into our unit, and no doubt must seep into the immediately surrounding units. I suspect this tenant has been here for a very long time - there are several tenants who I think have been here for 30+ years - so I don't know what, if anything, could be done about it
