Good building, awful management
Pros
Great construction quality. Great thermal and noise insulation. Decent appliances. Mostly respectful neighbors.
Cons
When we moved in, the building was clean and well-maintained. By the time we left a year and a half later in 2022, it was a mess. So glad we left. Also get ready to have your rent skyrocket year after year. Ours started at $2300 and they wanted to increase it to $3700 at the end of the lease. Again, glad we left. At one point, the main fire alarm went off, blaring loudly. Fire department rushed in and told us the owner had to disable it. It wasn't disabled for DAYS. Door got broken into and stayed that way for a few days. Smoke/CO2 detectors with low batteries beeping all over the common areas. Door to the roof never worked. Roof is dominated (and cluttered) by a couple neighbors who used to leave their door up there to do their business. Some tenants (mostly young Bushwick crowd), put trash in front of the building or dump their stuff in the common areas. Owner never did anything. Really hard to get ahold of management and maintenance, bordering on impossible. Too many numbers to call and poor communication between them.
Advice to the owners
Be more responsive to tenants. Fix your new building or it will look like a dump soon.
Beautiful building with nice apartments
Pros
The apartments are nice and well maintained with high end finishes.
Cons
Roof is a mess, some neighbors let their pets use the shared space as a bathroom. Tenants leave trash right in front of building door. Management DOES NOT RESPOND
Advice to the owners
Please stop making it so hard to get the smallest issues fixed.
