My grandmother and I have been living in a bldg managed by parkoff mgmt. We have been living in this apartment for well over 28 years. Since parkoff has managed the building it has gone from bad to worst. I live on Morris Avenue in the bx, not a great neighborhood but the rent is reasonable. lately we have had terrible leaks in the bathroom ceiling either from the tenants above negligence or just old worn plumbing, either way we have called the office many times to complain. We have spoken from everyone in the maintenance dept. to everyone in the Legal dept. The manager Mr Bob. is such a loser. My grandmother is an old lady that does not speak English so she cannot communicate well with the manager, which by the way I have called myself on numerous occasions and never once has he returned a call. When he comes in the apartment he speak with such authority as if he is gonna tear up the building. I once had to come out and see what was going on that made my grandmother upset. upon asking the mgr what was going on he grabbed his pen and left. he instructed me that if I ever had a complaint not to call the office but speak to the super. Thats another story. The super of our building is never around, the building smells like straight up cat urine. ever ask the super for a repair in the apartmentm his response is he is to busy and he doesnt care if you the call the manager, he says he doesnt care that the manager never comes to the building. So unlike you living in the UES I envy you. I would give anything to have flower smell in the elevator, let alone a floran arrangement.
