Reviews

Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

Would rather live in hell

Pros

The super does the best he can.

Cons

Slum lords. Complained about the mice problem and Alex, the new propety manager has done nothing.

Advice to the owners

Take care of your tenants. Waited for a exterminator to come and they never came

Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

inexpensive but dangerous

Pros

Super is great but you have to build a rapport with him Distance to subway is nice

Cons

AVOID LANGSAM PROPERTIES AT ALL COSTS Property owner is very unresponsive A lot of bugs and cockroaches even if you keep your own apartment clean because the building itself is pretty dirty Many tenants who get the cops called on them repeatedly because they do not know how to take care of themselves and are mentally unwell. If you have to live here definitely do research on your upstairs neighbor beforehand, because if you get stuck under a terrible one there’s a good chance you will be put in danger, have many sleepless nights, multiple leaks, and have your ceiling collapse at least twice (speaking from experience). The SWAT team even came for you upstairs neighbor, and the property manager continued to let the neighbor stay. Even if you cancel your lease, they’ll come back and try to extort more money out of you. They really do not care about you in the slightest.

Advice to the owners

Be more responsive—people’s lives are at stake, all they want is a timely response from you.
