Ex-tenant review: Avoid this place
Former Tenant
Pros:
Location, roof, balconies
Cons:
Horrible Management, filthy public space, moldy, zero insulation, exorbitant energy prices dude to inefficient HVAC system and insulation, horribly built building - I will return in 10 years and expect bricks to be missing from the face of the building.

Update: the property management and owner tried to scam us out of $400 because there were 8 nail holes from hanging pictures in the apartment. I threatened to sue so I got the money back, but it I didn’t receive my security deposit until 30+ days after our move out date — which is a clear violation of NYS housing law.
Advice to owner:
Get rid of top quality management. I would fight them if I had the opportunity.

Former Tenant
Pros:
The owners were very considerate in giving us a rent reduction during COVID. They apartment is mostly built well and well insulated, so we’ve never had an issue with noise. Requesting repairs was easy and they were executed in a timely matter.
Cons:
They did not give us our full security deposit back, citing that we had not cleared out the apartment. Our friend was moving in to replace us and storing personal items in the apartment — and they knew this. They never replaced the refrigerator, which always broke and smelled like farts.
Advice to owner:
Replace the fart fridge.
