This building has mice and crazy tenants that come out of their apartments in their underwear and yell. The management is not responsive. When the management actually sends people to make repairs, the job is often half done. For the price you pay to live here, it is quite disappointing. I don't recommend this building.

Dear Tenant,

I am very sorry to hear that you had a negative experience living in 416 Lafayette Street and that you felt you had to submit an anonymous complaint rather than speaking with us directly to ameliorate any issues you were experiencing. I am not aware of any tenants that are a nuisance at the premises - however when brought to our attention we will take the appropriate action, including legal action where necessary. Since 2007 we have hired a new exterminator for the premises. We have undertaken a rehab of the common spaces on the ground floor and will do the upper floors in the coming months. Tenants may submit maintenance requests M-F by telephone and anytime through our website. If tenants are not satisfied with the maintenance performed they can request further service. For an elevator building with open-floor layouts, laundry and live-in super in location that is the gateway to the East Village and Greenwich Village, we hope that you continue to find that 416 Lafayette offers a compelling value. We really do hold ourselves to a higher standard than the situation you described in your post and again I am sorry you had this experience. Thank you.

Sincerely,
Management

What is the typical lifespan of mice in NYC?

ANagin your response comes five years after the original complaint posted here. 5 years. I'm just saying.

Moreover, upon closer reading...

"If tenants are not satisfied with the maintenance performed they can request further service."

This, some might say, is the problem.

I'm just making conversation Aboutready. If you don't want to talk about your vacation, for whatever reason, I understand. Life isn't always a fairy tale for me either.

fieldschester = member of the grays who has now created a new alias because he/she was wasn't liked by anyone before and had no credibility or respect before and is now trying to be friends with people?

Sonya, one question for you: what led you to believe that I was trying to be friends with people?

Well, "just making conversation" with aboutready, for starters. But hey, if you deny wanting to be friendly, I will take your word for it :-)
