Summer sublet nyc
Pros
-amazing location -close to everything
Cons
-dirty entryway -nothing else!
Unreliable safety, cleanliness and a pile of grievances
Pros
Lots of trendy restaurants around, cute neighborhood, 10 min walk from west side highway. Nice finishes to the apartment, newer appliances (fridge and oven). Management was attentive, usually replying in 1-2 days.
Cons
Apartment: One bedroom door couldn’t open past the bed if you have a footboard. No rack in the closet, not big enough for normal clothing hangers. Shower dripped constantly, causing mold on the tiling. Had 2 mice in the apartment within a year (though exterminator was very friendly). Lost hot water for about 6 days total, usually lasted a few hours. Radiators were loud and little unreliable in the 30-40’ weather. No dishwasher, laundry or amenities. Building: There was a carbon monoxide leak so had to leave for 3 days. The front door locked from the inside a few times, meaning someone had to buzz you out to *leave* the building. Saw at least 4 dead cockroaches (one live) in the stairwell. Had 2 packages stolen.
Advice to the owners
Proactively manage the building, fix issues the first time when asked, clean common areas routinely (every 2 weeks ideally). Communicate with tenants immediately when incidents occur (ie hot water shut off).
