Try for freeThis apartment is gross. The upstairs apartment has a massive hole in the ceiling that the landlords refuse to fix. The 3rd floor leaks down the walls into the 2nd floor apartments. The 2nd floor leaks to the 1st floor apartment. I'm 100% positive there's mold growing. The landlords do zero upkeep. Their building manager is unreachable. As a tenant, we've had to call plumbers and pest control ourselves to get things done. The ConED bills is over $500/month per apartment, and we've complained about having someone look into why that is but nothing is ever done. People leave trash and food on the ground outside of the front door, if not already, there will soon be a rodent infestation.
Landlords do not give legal leases ... only "subleases" or no leases and requests for rent receipts refused. Poorly maintained 9 unit townhouse apartment building subject to rent stabilization laws and riddled with building code violations. Took forever to get my deposit back and some years no subleases. Two neighbors had legal issues with landlord and had to take them to court. Landlord says it is a coop but in fact the coop conversion abandoned decades ago renting out 7 of their units out at market rates and never sold 7 of the 9 units required to complete the building conversion to coop. https://commentariesonnyrealpropertylaw.substack.com/p/evaluating-cooperative-legitimacy
I recently had a terrible experience with a landlord that I feel compelled to share. I was working with an agent who liaised between me and this landlord. After submitting my application with all the necessary documents, the agent and the landlord both approved it. We scheduled a lease signing for 10/08/2024. To accommodate this, I took a day off work, and my wife and I went to the landlord’s office for the lease signing. The agent and I had already agreed that we would move into the apartment on November 1st. However, during the lease signing, the landlord insisted we needed to move in immediately, that same day. The agent questioned whether we would receive any credit for the remaining 8 days of the month, given that this move-in was unexpected and in the middle of the month. The landlord flatly refused and was incredibly rude throughout the conversation. He became belligerent, repeatedly telling my wife and me, “Leave my office, you’re wasting my time.” Despite the agent’s efforts to calm him down, the landlord was completely out of control. This individual is not only rude and disrespectful, but he also lacks basic communication skills and professionalism. His treatment of us was absolutely unacceptable. I strongly advise others to STAY AWAY from this landlord. No one deserves to be treated with such disdain. It was clear to me that he has serious issues managing his emotions and interacting with tenants.
