Just an ok nyc apartment
Pros
Beautiful city view Natural lighting lots of windows Elevator Laundry in building Nice roof
Cons
Hard to get in touch with management Heat went out 6 times in the winter and the unit would drop below 50°, despite the legality of it, management refused to help Drafty windows so expect to pay a lot in heating and air conditioning Recycling bins are tiny so there is trash everywhere Loud neighbors far walk from any train station Unsafe street for women Stolen packages
Overall an alright apt
Pros
The building has an elevator Dishwasher in unit Laundry in basement Management was flexible with payments if someone was late by a few days Roof access with great view 2 bathrooms in our unit Great alphabet city location, lots of bars and food Package locker in the lobby Friendly super.
Cons
Every summer the apt would be infested with bees. Mice in the walls that management refused to do anything about because “‘mice are a part of NYC” Management was slow to respond to maintenance, but the super was great. Heat went out one winter because of old pipes and it took Gideon 2 weeks to fix it. Management listed the unit across from ours as an Air bnb and didnt care so it was always loud. Guests would always manage to lock themselves and would bang on our apt door Small rooms and the dishwasher didn’t work for the entire 2 years I lived there. Far from the train (roughly 15 minutes walking). Even though we had package lockers, a lot of carriers were too lazy to use them so packages got stolen. The elevator was shaky and scary. The recycling bins were too small and would fill up super quick. Rent was extremely high for the area.
Advice to the owners
Make sure there are no mice in the walls, get rid of the bees. Lower your prices. Make the elevator not shake.
