The Strathmore

They’re renovating whole building right now while 30 tenants still live there. They are redoing gas lines and stated it would only be 6 weeks during the summer. It’s now NOVEMBER and a week from Thanksgiving and the gas still isn’t turned on. They don’t care about the low income tenants who can’t have a Thanksgiving meal this year. Disgusting management.

Horrible elevator service. Only 3 elevators to start with, for 40 floors. 1 is always being repaired and 1 is used for moving. So only 1 in use all the time, and with 40 floors of very large dogs, strollers, deliveries, people going to the gym, tenants can't get in and out of the building in any decent time. It's a shame, because the building and the staff are nice. But it is unworkable if you can't get in and out of your apartment. And they keep taking more and more tenants and not telling them about the elevator problems or offering any relief on rent.

Luxury apartments. This building looks like a wonderful place to live-- that consistently generates huge, stinking mountains of garbage on 83rd street that sit uncollected for up to a week at a time nearly obstructing the sidewalk and attracting rats that have been driven above ground from the nearby subway construction.
