High rent, poor conditions and getting worse
Pros
Despite its drawbacks, this apartment building does have a couple of silver linings. Its prime location provides residents with convenient access to various amenities and services. Additionally, the in-building superintendent stands out as a positive aspect, being both amiable and responsive to residents' needs, offering a helpful and supportive presence in the midst of other challenges.
Cons
Washer and dryer consistently broken Elevator gets stuck Packages often stolen Leaking ceilings Flies everywhere in the summer Water and power often shut off without warning Incredibly thin walls (can hear your neighbors cough) Hand over fist rent hikes each year (10%+) Poor sustainability rating from the city Pests (both roaches and mice) often in apartments and building Little to no support from building management
Advice to the owners
Either do better or stop raising the rent astronomicaly
Amazing Chelsea Patio
Pros
Our terrace on the 6th floor (Penthouse) was simply outstanding. One of the best kept secrets in NYC.
Cons
The neighborhood got pretty seedy. Without a doorman, people would go in when the door was left open and our packages were stolen multiple times.
Advice to the owners
Make sure people lock the front door. Perhaps partner with the buiding next door to allow them to receive tenant packages.
