Do yourself a favor and stay away from this building and any others run by Croman Realty, which also goes by the name 9300 Realty. The units look nice but nothing works, and the landlord is horrendous. Our heat didn't work in the winter. After complaining incessantly, they came and installed electric heaters, which were not powerful enough and used a ton of electricity. Also, the city inspectors said they were not compliant and were a fire hazard. We got tired of complaining and bought our own space heaters. The hot water regularly stopped working as well. The landlord Steven Croman is well known in New York as a slum lord. I wish I knew this BEFORE signing my lease. He's currently on trial and might go to jail for 25 years for abusing his tenants. See the following New York Times article about the landlord. Truly shameful. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/10/nyregion/steven-croman-regular-on-new-yorks-worst-landlords-lists-is-charged.html [less]
I remember back when I was managing the Sales side of J.I. Sopher's Village Office and Steve Croman (who was a rental agent there at the time) got in a fist fight with one of the Rental Managers.
You can't get over that fight, can you?
