We lived there for almost three years and really loved the place. We moved in the first day after the building was finished, so it was brand new. Our utilities were included which was huge. The super sometimes would be a little slow to respond but he always showed up and fixed everything with no problem amd was always professional and polite. Washer, dryer and dishwasher were all excellent. Neighbors WERE excellent. Young family on the first floor, the couple that lived across the hall was always very nice, everyone was respectful about noise and not having too many guests. Until...

Everything was great until over the summer and four young early 20’s guys moved in and decided to throw loud parties with tons of people in the middle of the pandemic. There were constantly guests coming up and down the stairs, and they would blast music late. They were a huge reason why we decided to move out.

The owners also refused to work with me when I was furloughed from my job in March. Fortunately I was able to get benefits and went back to work in June before the extended benefits ran out. I was very upset that they were not even willing to discuss it, and had I not been able to go back before the extended benefits ran out I wouldn’t have been able to pay rent in full.

We would have stayed but we decided to get a bigger place with a backyard in Ridgewood.

There’s not really anything they can do. I don’t recommend or condone discriminating against renting to someone because of their age. When I was in my early twenties I had a hard time finding places to live for that exact reason. But it should be stressed to new tenants that it is a quiet building and that the current tenants were mostly couples and families.
