Reviews

Former tenant·4 months ago

Poorly put together, cash grab

Pros

The neighbors were all really nice friendly building

Cons

Almost impossible to get a response without contacting higher-ups and property management incredibly poorly built door literally couldn't open fully floors warped tinry bathroom I believe illegally destabilized

Advice to the owners

Redo the apartment

Former tenant·7 months ago

Great management but rats

Pros

Management is super responsive and kind, many people work so you can always reach someone. I’ve lived in NYC my entire life and no other building was as kind and helpful.

Cons

Building is infested with rats. It wasn’t an issue when I moved in (Summer 2023), but as of right now (Spring 2024) I can hear them running in the walls at night, they chewed a hole in my ceiling and are living in the basement. Building is trying to get it under control but it’s an infestation.

Advice to the owners

Please fix the front door! It does not lock anymore
