Decent Building, Non-Existent Management

Pros

Properly sized 1br, tons of closet space, average rent for the neighborhood, ultra convenient location, calls for building issues do get addressed- eventually. Regular exterminator service, never had an issue with pests.

Cons

Extremely slow / sometimes non existent responses from management co. Usually have to email several times for service requests. A couple times I gave up and just fixed things myself. Noise can be an issue at times, but that's to be expected in the East Village. Common areas could definitely be better maintained considering the cost of rent.

Advice to the owners

Maybe hire more help in the office. The current staff is either overwhelmed or just don't have much of a sense of urgency / professionalism.

Great place if you love night life

Pros

Heat and water pressure are consistent, very bright, very big for the neighborhood.

Cons

Communication with landlord is not always great, can be very loud outside at night (it’s the east village)
