Savoy Park Apartments

You’re lucky enough to catch a worker coming in. And this is only if You’re fortunate enough to come across the lady that visibly doesn’t want to be working. If You come across one of the loud ones with attitude, bless Your soul. Work orders are typically responded to 50% of the time in general and about 25% of the time on the day You make the complaint. God forbid its an emergency on the weekend, a worker may or may not show up. If he does, he’ll be sure to remind You that they typically don’t work on the weekends. As I’m sure You’ve figured out, the complex is a completely overpriced joke. I now understand why so many tenants are withholding their rent. If theres one thing management is good for, its posting personal forms with the amount You owed on the outside of Your door. Oh and DO NOT have ANY packages mailed to Your residence. Thats just a no no. You will not receive it and nothing will be done about it.

Covid, which is of course a lazy lie. When I first moved in (July) there was scaffolding all around my building. It’s March of the next year and the scaffolding is still there and more has been added around the other building so pretty much the entire complex is covered in scaffolding. Ghetto. The washers/dryers never work. The building is riddled with bedbugs. Your packages will be stolen from the package room daily. They use such cheap materials for the apartments that the fake hardwood doors crack and separate. Good luck getting management to answer your email. During the winter time, good luck with getting your apt heated. It’s either freezing or set on “hell.” This has been the worst rental experience I have ever had and will do everything I can to make sure I get the word out about how terrible the living experience has been here. These apts aren’t fit for human occupancy, and any attempt to tell you otherwise is an outright lie.

super kid friendly. Multiple playgrounds, and right across the street from the Armory with afterschool programs and Harlem tennis. Friends from the suburbs cannot believe they are in NYC. I do not want to be anywhere else.

this was the government they're so inefficient.

code to gain access to the property and to the specific building). There are renovations and improvements all the time, both cosmetic and structural (updates on pipe work, repaving the sidewalks, etc.). If there is any work you need done from a paint job, to a clogged tub, maintenance is always available and it is pretty easy to schedule an appointment. The management office and overall effectiveness could use a little work. There are times when you need to call 10 times in a row before someone answers the phone. Repairs in the apartment seem to do the trick for the mean time but then require another maintenance call in a couple months to a year. Rent is typical to high city pricing but including all utilities, dishwasher in every apartment, a laundry room in every building and a gated community with its own security and close to the train make it worth it. In addition, if you visit their website at the end of the seasons, you can catch discounted apartments and move in under a one year deal (rent goes up an average of 100 after the year but it is still significantly less than the rent offered without the deal). All apartments are renovated before being put on the market and there are choices (prices vary) on tile vs. marble, updated kitchen with stainless steel and high floor apartments with stunning views. Overall, Savoy Park is a good experience and a good choice. Some glitches but that is to be expected when you're a renter. Would I renew my lease? Yes.

4, 5 on the Green line - w/ a quick walk over the bridge ) Cons: Intercom System in building has been only partially working correctly for almost 3 years New Gate System and Security are cumbersome and not properly enforced *anyone can still enter premises. Security doesn't do a great job of handling loitering and/or property infractions. There is a pest problem *bedbugs, roaches, rodents --though to be fair, they will pay for Exterminators but it is still extremely inconvenient. Booking Maintenance calls can be challenging. If you have a car street parking seems to be much more difficult and the property parking spots are $237 /- a month. Would i recommend them? Yes, but I would be very upfront about the limitations and challenges.

Manhattan. The complex sits on the grounds of the Savoy Club; a happening place during the Harlem Renaissance. The common areas are serviced daily and there are clean and safe playgrounds for kids right on the grounds of the complex. I couldn't have asked for a better apartment in Harlem!
