THIS BUILDING IS THE WORST BUILDING EVER. STAY AWAY. > Everything is always broken and management is too cheap to fix anything because there are rent control tenants in the building, all the market rate tenants suffer > Several rats died behind the walls and my apartment smelt like animal decay for most of the year I was living there > Heating system was always broken or making loud banging and hissing sounds > Management is rude and unhelpful ....the list can go on. Just stay away.

The management company is the worst -- the super is actually quite lovely. The building was recently renovated but the previous poster is right, things are often broken and management doesn't seem to care about its tenants.

The super and the management company are possibly the worst in NYC. The super is incredibly lazy, he never cleans the common areas, washes the sidewalk after garbage day, etc. He will never respond via text, call, or email even in emergency.
But the management company, OLSHAN/ MALL PROPERTIES, is even worse. They do not obtain proper permits for construction nor do they warn tenants of construction inside your unit ahead of time. Any questions and complaints (regarding flooding, roach infestations, walls falling apart, etc.) go completely unanswered, no matter how urgent, until they need something from you (i.e.- immediate access to your apartment for construction). I have sent dozens of emails / made dozens of phone calls with no response, over various issues. It seems as if the company policy is "ignore until it goes away". I have even been ignored when I requested to find out who was in my apartment unauthorized while I was at work, which is horrifying.
I would NOT recommend renting from ANY OLSHAN/ MALL PROPERTIES building ever.
