Department of Health and Mental Hygiene has many services. When I was working in Human Services I…read morehad some very negative experiences with this city department. There are definitely many services in this department that I have found very valuable. The office of vital statistics and sanitation reports are two areas I appreciate. I'm glad they keep data on health issues in our population. Plus you can go for training and support groups if you want or need information. I attended a diabetes support group at one time. This new space is not as easy for me to visit as the old offices in lower Manhattan. I'm recommending you get your information via their website. You can find just about anything NYC Physical or Mental Health related on their website.

The staff is kind & knowledgeable, they are readily available to assist with any questions and they have recommended delicious wines based on my preferences on multiple occasions. They are also pet friendly which is a major plus! They deliver within LIC and I love that they have spirit and wine tastings throughout the month. They are definitely my go-to shop for wine, I highly recommend them!

Very very good wine shop!…read more Anything you want, they've got. At great prices too! If you get a white, sparking, or orange wine, chances are they'll have it available chilled as well. Perfect for bringing to the park or to a party. It may look small when you walk in, but there's a whole other room in the back with shelves of wine. I ended up with an Austrian Grüner and a pet-nat orange. Both were fan favorites! Staff is super cool. They also have a respectable liquor selection behind the bar.

No kids are allowed which is nice for a change. They have fooseball here as well board games. What we played was BIG card uno, connect four, would you rather and crazy eights. Sadly, I did not win this time around. We did order the food platter which was really good. It came with Pretzels bites with hot dogs, cheese rolls, spring rolls and chicken strips. The service was very friendly here. The security was really on top of people showing their id. I wonder if they have a teen night here. I do want to go bowling again one day. I think its cool they have a little bowling alley in the back of the place. I'm not sure what the prices are now. But I recommend coming here with a group and getting a booth. Its a fun place and I don't see how someone could be bored here. I would like to point out the bathrooms are unisex.

The price is fair, the inspector and office staff are helpful. I've scrolled through the reviews and noticed that almost the negative reviews are mainly people complaining about their sale's approach. It is understandable one could get annoyed being bugged and persuaded into service he doesn't want or even doesn't need. However, If you are a construction trade company who constantly need extinguishers service/repair or purchases, they are actually quite a good option. Very easy to work with and always on time.

I encourage all employees former and current to report this company to the Occupational Safety and…read moreHealth Administration. Working conditions are deplorable. Manhattan Fire & Safety Corp. Response 09/09/2024 It is unfortunate that this disgruntled employee took the time to attempt to slander our company. We have been the leader in providing ************************* to the *** area for over 40 years. It is upsetting to hear how someone who worked for us for such a short period of time can be so malicious. Most of our employees have been with us for over 10 Years and have had successful careers in both ****************** as well as support technicians. We have recently had a major management change, as well as significant changes to our dispatching and account systems which have proven to be very effective to our customer and employee satisfaction. We continue to strive to provide top notch service to our customers while maintaining a healthy and happy work environment for our employees. This review is not from a disgruntled employee. It is from a former employee who was rendered disabled due to an unsafe chair about which a complaint was expressed and no action was taken to ensure the safety of this employee. As a result, said employee has had to undergo and is still undergoing months of painful physical therapy in order to enable him to walk normally again. It is not a career. There are no benefits...only intimidation and exploitation. It is not a happy and healthy work environment as the company stated. The physical, financial, emotional and mental well-being of the employees is not a consideration. There are no happy and healthy employees on the sales force - most of them have back problems and a couple of them need canes to assist them...most likely from years of long hours sitting in unsafe chairs. They know, and the company knows, that jobs are scarce, so the employees don't complain. They just suffer...especially when they see their paychecks at the end of the week.

We had a wonderful representative who visited all the time, was diplomatic during disputes and great at dispensing information to all. I'm happy to say our current manager, Larry Glick, is equally responsive, attentive and organized. I have no idea how he manages to keep track of multiple email threads that change topics and decisions/votes, it's a true talent! For those living in a co-op/condo...you KNOW how batty it can get. Life is so much easier when you know someone is out there looking out for the good of the building and it's financials, but also keeping the peace and being fair at all times. If you are considering companies to manage your building I hope you will seriously consider New Bedford. I personally feel lucky our building roped them into managing us - they must never leave us hahah!

For over a year during a roof job, management thinks it's ok to place toxic debris of the old roof right outside our bedroom windows. This is also a serious fire hazard! 13 months later, still dealing with debris. On top of this, we have been without gas for 17 months now. Last update was me June that we failed inspection and just one minor touch is needed and would be corrected in a day. Since then plumbers have still been working on this so called minor issue, sometimes till 9pm. Our hallways on each floor look as though they haven't been cleaned in over a year. Mismatched painting on the walls, cheap plastic sticker floor tiles that are stained and can't be cleaned because it's cheap and not meant for high traffic. Save yourself the horror and find someone else.
