Times are hard, but living here would be harder.
Former Tenant
Pros:
Very nice area. A very pretty-looking building, in a chic, upbeat neighborhood, which makes everything that follows this about to be even more of a shame.
I love the neighborhood, I really do, and the units are very cozy and it feels more like being in a house than in an apartment building. Historic and LGBT+friendly, too. Laundry right on site too and in a small building feels like just walking downstairs from a college dorm to get things clean. They maintain the machines, at least.
Cons:
To be blunt: It's falling apart, and will continue to. I won't be surprised if the LES has its own Sunnyside on its hands. COVID has gutted city services, inclucing inspections, so bothering is pointless. It's clear that even though their maint department isn't specialized in things like structural repair, the very head of things, the CEO and all, do not care to dig out a little pocket change to do more than hire a guy to hammer a wooden plank here and there.
Including under floor joists that are sagging and more. This is a prewar, wooden building. They utilize floating floors but don't take care of them, so you're gonna feel like you're on a carnival ride 24/7. As I said, this is a beautiful but neglected old thing that, given how things are, I'm not even sure has a year or two left in her. But as said, management itself would rather watch it deteriorate than get it checked out. I've been here for many, many years and watched management change hands. Whomever was running things back when it all first opened had a head on their shoulders. Whomever's running things now has their head somewhere else and is not involved at all. There's better, spots in this wonderful community to live. And as much as it pains me, I've begun to hunt for one. It shouldn't have to be like this.
Advice to owner:
If you somehow read this, which I know you won't, I only have two words for you. Do better.
