    Inadequate super & unresponsive landlord
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Great location, easy access to subways and parks
    Cons:
    Other tenants dont usually clean after themselves so the rooftop is always dirty, same for the other the shared space (gym etc)

    Management often ignores work requests - buzzer still hasnt been fixed since we moved in, key fobs don’t work (never did). Main hall smells like sewage water during hotter months.

    Takes forever to get things fixed, had to send out multiple emails and phone calls to get their attention.

    Building entrance code shared with non tenants - you have people stealing packages, using the rooftop without cleaning it up after.

    Update 8.1.2024 new management (Brighton) took over the building and rent went up by 2.3k, some units went up by 3k. They got rid of the bike racks and now we need to pay to lock our bikes in a cage lol.

    Avoid this building, 7k a month for a 2 bed converted into 3. And the building is old and falling apart
