We liked living here
Pros
- Beautiful building - Newly renovated apartment
Cons
- Super locked basement (laundry and trash can access) from 9pm-9am, except for the many times he didn't unlock it until noon - Poor natural lighting - Downstairs neighbors played loud music all through the night
Advice to the owners
Ensure the super opens the basement on time--access to the trash cans is a hygiene issue!
Beautiful building, rocky experience
Pros
Pretty “pre-war” building with quaint design enhanced by recent renovations. Nice location in the heart of Hell’s Kitchen; scenic street close to Theatre Row and great restaurants.
Cons
Unresponsive super and management (e.g., broken kitchen appliances went for a month or longer without repair/replacement); minimal security, so package theft and loitering were common with no improvement and little done by management to address issues over the years I lived there.
Advice to the owners
Increase sense of urgency around residents’ critical needs and safety concerns; improve communication, especially email/phone responsiveness and availability
