I have never been involved with such an unprofessional building management company. All of a sudden there are positive postings. Gee, I wonder who encouraged those? No one spends precious time reviewing a landLord unless they are unhappy. I never received my security deposit back nor even a letter about why they were keeping it and how much it was worth after 9+ years of interest. I never ever received a check or statement, any year that I lived there, showing where my money was being kept and how much interest it earned each year. It's hard to prove a negative, I know.The most unprofessional thing I think I have ever encoutered is that apparently sometime after I was forced out, and posted a review on here, the building manager came to my old apartment in an angry state about my review on here and asked the current tenant where I was.To what end? I can only asume he was going to threaten me to remove this review which is well within my First Amendment rights to post or even worse,I suspect he was going to me bodily harm.The pimp in the apartment below me threatened me with bodily harm for no reason 13 times the last year I lived there and Parkoff and the building manager did NOTHING to remove him and he is still there. Interestingly, he apparently does not harrass the fellows in my old apartment which leads me to conclude that the building manager was not unhappy to have me forced out by the angry man below me because obviously the rent went up when I terminated my lease within the time frame of my 60 day rider. I lived there for 8 years with not one complaint about me from below, above or sideways,or the Super or anyone in the building. Of course in my new digs, after 5 months of homelessness! I have not received one complaint from anyone around me or in the building this first 1 year+. I see from most of the reviews David Friedman is the primary problem with tenant's.I concur I wonder how he lives with himself. No conscience or really just a BAD human being.
Pros: Wonderful neighborhood and the Super is super, building very clean, but he was there before Parkoff took over.
Cons: Terribly nasty building manager and ownership. The rob and steal & choose pimps over good tenants.
