Lived in this building 1 year - luckily got out after 1. The building management company - Alang Property Management, is a total sham. The building manager is a broker and will charge you a hefty broker's fee to get into this apartment. Then she will spend the year making your tenancy (in an expensive apartment, no less!) miserable.
In one year of tenancy, we had our personal belongings left in the common area, threats that our apartment would be entered with or without our permission for pest extermination, and had our locks changed on us before our lease was up with our belongings still in the apartment (we had to have police come to straighten out the situation and let us into the apartment). And we were not the first tenants she had done this to. Our hot water was off for two full days with no explanation and we were forced to wait nearly 2 weeks at Christmas time for a replacement refrigerator when ours broke. Overall, every communication with this management company was miserable and completely unprofessional.
This management company also has a history of not returning security deposits, without any justification.
Bottom line - Alang Property Management is run by dishonest and unprofessional people with no regard for the law. The building owners are impossible to get in communication with, so the property manager has free reign to extort and harass tenants as much as she wants.
If the loud parties and smell of weed (that might as well be INSIDE your apartment, even with the windows closed) from the Black Ink Tattoo place aren't enough to deter you, this management company should be.
AVOID this building and this management company at all costs!

You created this account in May 2009 and posted once to complain in 2014 about this building that you lived in 2008?

@gothamsboro - Though I probably shouldn't even bother responding, I would like to clear the record. I have been a streeteasy user for years. It is an invaluable site for finding good rental listings. Have never had a need or desire to post in a discussion forum until now.
This building is where I just moved out, after living there from June 2013 - June 2014. We had such a horrible experience that I wanted to make sure others would be aware of what they were getting themselves into. Felt that this was a visible forum to post my experience.
