Overall fine, but some complaints - Overall the Gracie Mews is a good building. The space for the rent is a good deal, but that is driven largely by the location (1st Ave is a hike from the subway). The management is good and responsive to requests for repairs. They are not, however, willing to make any rental concessions mid-lease even with the collapse in the rental market. I understand, but it would have been ...Full review of Gracie Mews

Building in poor condition with deferred maintenance and low level of service - Unresponsive building management except when trying to raise rents to luxury levels with Motel 6 type service, staff and maintenance.

Building is in bad repair with substantial deferred maintenance including elevators [passenger is constantly breaking down], plumbing [leaks all over the building], electrical [hair dryers blow out the fuses], mechanical, windows [when ...Full review of 167 East 82 Street

Terrible Maangement - The management company has gone downhill over the years. They do the bare minimum to cover up problems. This building has had 5 supers in the last two years. The rent is over market and the management company is unwilling to negotiate as leases are expiring, which has led to an empty building. Do not live here! ...Full review of 163 W.73rd Street Apartments

run down building - This building is run by a "slum lord" who doesn't seem to care at all about the tenants. The building is pretty run down. Management hires cheap foreign born labor to fix things-they never seem to fix anything correctly. There have been problems with roach infestation. Most residents are students. This is okay-except they tend to party with very loud stereos especially on the ...Full review of 335 East 65th Street

Not that great - This place isn't a terrible place to live or anything, but the sad location and the empty promises made by the management has just gotten to a lot of the renters. CONS: 1. There was a promise of public space that renters could reserve for private functions - that is just NOT true. 2. Many of the facilities are still NOT ready and very late (over 8 weeks), the sales office has said ...Full review of Silver Towers

Awful Building/Management - What a dump. Rat infestation in basement means rats scurrying around the building/going through the trash that is always scattered out front EVERY night - literally trip over rats going in/out. Plus we had mice inside the apartment. Also, management locked everyone out late night on a recent Saturday and told them to go to a locksmith Sunday to get a new key. Does that make sense? Of course ...Full review of 332 E 95th

do not rent with this owner - We were excited to rent an apt in this building. After 1 1/2 weeks with all our paperwork including a guarantor, with everything in order, we were told the owner just decided he only wanted a guarantor that lived in NY. Oddly enough this was not a problem when we were applying. Clearly the owner has no regard for doing business in a reputable way. We would not recommend doing any ...Full review of Eastbridge Landing

Terrible Owners - Don't Deal With Them - The building is obviously in a great location, but the owners are dishonest and not trustworthy - do not deal with them! The broker's sweet grandmotherly appearance is deceptive. They interviewed me and decided to proceed. We signed lease papers and they accepted my certified checks. Then they randomly decided to cancel the lease before I moved in. It created a really bad situation ...Full review of 68 Bank Street Apartments
