Terrible, unclean building
Pros
The noise levels are kept to a minimum by neighbors and most people living in the building are friendly. There are rent stabilized units.
Cons
Pests are a HUGE problem. Even on the 7th floor I have dealt with roaches, spiders, centipedes, knats and even two different fly infestations. The building is barely maintained, spills are frequent in the hallways and elevators, trash is everywhere outside, the front door locks are always broken. I have had major leaks from the roof and management took nearly a year to fix it and it wasn't done well because my walls are still stained. All they do is put bandages on problems. The heating in the colder months is so hot that I have had to run my window AC units throughout the entire winter. Wouldn't recommend anyone waste their money living here.
Don’t waste your money
Pros
The units are spacious but that’s about it.
Cons
The building was dirty more often than not. That’s to no fault of the super. He was just one guy doing EVERYTHING for the entire building. Management should have hired cleaners or something to help. There is a major pest problem. Roaches invaded my apartment despite me cleaning everyday. And many of the people who live in the building do not have respect for their neighbors. Loud music, trash thrown in the lobby and staircase. I even saw dog poop on several occasions. People hang out in front all night smoking. The building is not secure. I never felt safe going into the building late at night. And I had packages stolen on multiple occasions. And the building ALWAYS smelled. I was happy when my lease was up!
