Not a fan
Pros
No one steals packages.
Cons
Inside of the building is not well kept. Maintenance is mediocre & not dependable. Property managers are terrible at responding to the phones. Garbage control is managed well but by the middle of the day or the evenings, outsiders, neighbors and rats make the outside of the building so unclean. Pest control has to be called personally. Wash and dryer 2-in-1 is not ideal. Spend more energy by drying over and over. Neighborhood can be really loud especially when it’s nicer outside.
Advice to the owners
find alternatives for keeping the trash regulated besides the morning groundsmen. Clean the stairwells and fix light fixtures in building.
Thieves, Scammers, HousingViolations
Pros
Neighbors were great. Location is great, close to transportation.
Cons
Management and landlords were unresponsive to illegal housing conditions. Entire building went without heat and hot water in January-February for over two weeks. Roaches, mice, and other pests abundant. Windows and doors that did not lock. Leaks that never gets fixed. Water frequently shut off with no notice. Management/landlord does not properly dispose of trash, almost impossible to enter the building without encountering rats. Management will harass tenants for rent (regardless of multitudes of housing violations), but will ignore to tenants about issues. Tenants must contact HPD to get any maintenance issues resolved. HPD must then threaten to take over the building before issues are solved. Current landlord, David Schorr, is the #1 worst landlord in NYC according to the 2021 NYC Public Advocate. Mr. Schorr has over 15,000 HPD violations filed at his properties.
