Never Never Never!

NY-New-York-63rd-West-This place is awful. Everything we have keeps breaking and the repair people never come to fix it, and when they do it's broken again two days later. Our elevator has been out for the last nine days. Today it was finally fixed and now the water is out, without any warning and no sign of coming back. If this were a one time occurrence, I would understand but this happens constantly.
Never rent here.
The most heinous place to reside.

If you are interested in dumping your hard-earned money into a terribly small, noisy, mouse-infested apartment, look no further!
I lived at 63rd West in a studio apartment for a year and a half. The apartment was so tiny, and the wall of the apartment did not reach the floor, so I was constantly seeing people walking past my apartment.
These are highly expensive units, thin walls, and right next to the projects. You might as well save your money and pitch a tent in Central Park instead of renting an apartment at 63rd West.
Nice place if you like housing projects...

This group lists their address at 244 W. 64th to entice you to see the apartments. Half of the apartments face 63rd st. 63rd is a dead end loop that ends at the famous "Amsterdam Houses". these are a 4 block long section of city housing projects which basically cut off the "63rd West" apartments from the rest of the UWS area. I refused to live there, had a friend that figured it was safe enough. Wait till you get targeted by the next door neighbors, beat by a gang of them, and have to watch the police scratch their heads and do nothing about it.
Mixed in with these reviews are phony reviews that management company published using fake names. Clearly, creativity is a job requirement here. They must get unemployed fiction writers or ad execs to come up with this stuff.

I concur. Here's my story.
ReplyDeleteThis shit hole was the biggest waste of money.
There was no heating unit in my bedroom.
There was no heating unit in my bathroom.
At times, my bedroom would get down to 50 degrees.
Heat was INCLUDED in the rent.
The heat was NEVER on in either of the bedrooms.
The heat in the living room/kitchen wasn't on during the times it was legally supposed to be on.
They didn’t meet these following guidelines for NYC:
October 1 through May 31
Heat is on when outside temp. is below:
6:00 am - 10:00 pm 55°
10:00 pm - 6:00 am 40°
Also, hot water was frequently not available all of the time, also illegal. Countless times I would try to wash dishes or take a shower during random parts of the day and there was no hot water.
Whenever I call to complain they say that they’re doing maintenance on the boiler or they would have me 'fill out a maintenance request'. Obviously it wasn't a 'maintenance' issue, within the apartment at least, but of course, a maintenance person would show up hours later when the hot water was back on, they would say 'I don't know what the problem is, it's hot'. Obviously it's hot, by now.
The dimensions of my bathroom were so small they were not to code.
Also, there was no telephone jack in my apartment which is also illegal in NYC. When I complained they said they would come by to drill the wall to uncover the existing jack. They never showed and the super never returned my calls.
I lived on the first floor and the windows don't lock or close completely, posing an draftiness and safety issue. The headers are sagging and the window frames don't line up with the window anymore. The maintenance person DRILLED the window in my roommate's bedroom shut.
Oh and another thing they forgot to mention before we moved in, this building is right next to New York City Public Housing.
I didn’t feel safe walking from the 1 train to my apartment at night. There were hookers, drug dealers and groups of men just loitering around, especially in the summertime.
When I moved in there were no batteries in the smoke detector.
The wiring in the apartment is terrible. The lights are very dim.
Look in the "courtyards," there's shit everywhere. Bags of garbage from the compactor, old Christmas trees, rusting metal vats, old furniture, wooden planks, and other dilapidated items .. and there's no lights in some of the courtyards either. It was really sketchy at night.
They think they can charge $2375 a month for this shit?
