Park 39 - 315 East 39th Street

PLEASE READ BEFORE SIGNING A LEASE AT THIS PROPERTY. DO NOT MOVE HERE! AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS! The management and property maintenance are completely incompetent, and living here has been a nightmare! To make matters worse, they are now refusing to renew my lease because I reported their ongoing city ordinance violations (frequent, frenzied, uncontrolled dog barking). Be warned that when management responds to negative reviews, they constantly claim the reviewers "no longer live here" to dismiss valid complaints. Yes, people leave because of how terrible this place is, but they absolutely did live here and experienced these exact issues. Here area few of the problems you will face: Utilities: My units electricity went out constantly for an entire week with zero urgency from the office to fix it. My in-unit washer/dryer was broken for 3 full months before I had to go over the property managers head and speak w a developer who also wasnt very helpful nor did he seem concerned. Structural Issues: The walls in unit 116 are so poorly insulated and drafty that I can literally feel the wind blowing inside my apartment let alone hear the slightest breeze make a loud howl. Landscaping Neglect: Parts of the lawn ward completely overgrown with grass reaching two feet tall, and fallen tree branches are left blocking the sidewalks. Hygiene and Noise: The indoor hallways constantly smell like dog urine and cat litter. Dogs bark incessantly at all hours, and management completely ignores complaints/video proof. The leasing office is mostly unresponsive and resorts to retaliation instead of fixing their property. I received a notice of nonrenewal when they learned that I have a court date set with the owner of the barking dog who lives directly above me. I now have to find a new home and come up with a deposit, first months rent etc. I am hoping they do not attempt to keep my deposit I put down on this apt resulting in ANOTHER legal battle. I was homeless for 2 yrs before finally getting my shiz together and was able to get my own place again. I was soo excited to find a place I thought I loved. But the management / non-management has thrown my life into a whirlwind again all because of their inaction and violation of their own lease agreement. AVOID THIS PLACE FR!

Terrible landlords. I can write a book of all the downsides that outweigh this place.

Prospective tenants should be aware that this property has a written no-smoking policy, but enforcement appears to be a serious problem. The lease contains a No-Smoking Addendum stating that smoking inside any dwelling, building, hallway, common area, or interior portion of the community is strictly prohibited. Despite that, secondhand smoke has repeatedly entered my apartment through the vents and interior air pathways. This is not just a minor inconvenience, or about disliking an odor. Secondhand smoke traveling through shared ventilation is a recognized health hazard that directly impacts the basic habitability of the apartment. When a property markets or leases itself as smoke-free, tenants should be able to expect meaningful enforcement, and fresh air to breathe. A no-smoking policy does very little if residents are still dealing with smoke intrusion inside their apartments and management does not take effective action to stop it. Anyone sensitive to smoke, anyone with children, or anyone with respiratory concerns should ask management very specific questions, and expect clear, specific answers before signing: When was the last smoke complaint received? How quickly are smoke complaints investigated, and what measures are taken? How are units inspected after repeated smoke complaints? Are lease violations issued for confirmed smoking violations? What is done when smoke travels into another tenant’s apartment? Does management use any environmental monitoring or smoke-detection technology, such as HALO or similar devices, in common areas or units where legally permitted, to detect repeated policy violations? How does management document and follow up on repeat complaints? How was the last smoke complaint resolved? A smoke-free policy on paper is not enough. Enforcement is what matters. On that measure, this property earns an F. If you are sensitive to secondhand smoke, have respiratory concerns, or simply do not want to live with smoke entering your apartment on a daily basis, you should not apply here.
